The fanboys who ignore all reality will clasp their ears and ignore this thread. Everyone else already agrees with you. What are you trying to accomplish?

So thats why my ears hurt? Thanks for pointing that out.

The wii sold most by appealing to the mass market. This is true...

Kind of how a toyota corolla and honda civic sell more than BMW and Mercedes. Yet those 2 car manufacturers get much more press and praise by majority of car enthusiasts.

Also Wii has mostly been neglected by 3rd party publishers...so maybe its a bitter-sweet victory for nintendo...and wii gamers in general.

I mean...Resident Evil 5, GTA4, Final Fantasy 13...all missing the Wii. Those are some industry leaders right there...

Funny you say there industry leaders, yet there all outsold by Wiiplay. How can lower selling software be the leader again?

Oh wait, it isnt.

But it is over.

The numbers don't lie. Microsoft and Sony arent selling enough to catch up or make as much profit. Its done.

Unless were now counting the odds of a rare meteorite destroying every bit of Nintendo off the face of the earth.

you never know people might decide they dont care about the motion controls or whatever anymore and move to the 360 and PS3 i mean you cant judge the outcome of this gen in the first 2-3 years....

Thats a pretty lame argument...

To you Britney Spears must be the best singer in the world then...she sells a lot more than vocalists like...Placido Domingo.

In any case...you can make these threads all you want but the only argument wii has in its corner is sales. No wonder you decided to concentrate on that...

Industry leading visuals, game support, features...it surely doesn't have.

Whatever man, wii's not getting Resident Evil 5...I'd feel your pain if all I had was the wii.

I never mentioned Britiney Spears or the automobile industry. Stop assuming things and read what I type.

Yes the 360 and PS3 have better visuals, third party support and features.

Doesn't change the fact there not the industry leaders. Nintendo is. There selling more of there products to consumers. There fitting the definition of the word leader. To lead. There leading the video game market.

Don't need to assume also I don't have a 360 or PS3 either. Because I do.

Maybe people will not care anymore of the Xbox 360 and PS3 then move onto the Wii. See how silly that sounds now?

Speculating, wishing, crystal balling and holding your breath don't change whats happening right now.
