Nintendo is winning. Wow I would like to be an analyst and get paid for statements like these. LOL

 

Sony isn't "winning" there if that's what you're getting at. The Wii has the most sales in EU/Others, so what are you laughing at?

Pretty sure he's laughing because it is like a doctor being paid to report that breathing is conducive to life.  Kind of quick to the defensive, eh?

"Perhaps one of the most notable signs was with the recent release of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. This title came out with versions for seven different game systems including the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. The Wii version received the highest overall rating on review aggregator sites like Metacritic and Gamerankings.com. Soccer is arguably the most important game genre in Europe and now the Wii has what many consider to be the best soccer game. This alone is likely to be a driver of significant Wii sales, especially among customer looking to upgrade from their PlayStation 2."

I found this paragraph misleading as they focused on review scores as opposed to actual sales of soccer games. Seems fairly obvious which console is still favoured for such games.

The only thing is that the PlayStation 2 is still the favored console for soccer games. See PES 2008 sales. So gamers looking to upgrade to another console, especially the casual gamers who may only buy PES each year, aren't going to buy a more expensive console with a lowered score version. So, though it's a bit misleading, it has a point. Also, the PS3 version came out long after the PS3 version did (except for in America, where, unsurprisingly I would guess, the Wii is selling better).
