It will also reach 40 millions and maybe even 45 millions before X360 could reaches 25 millions and PS3 reaches 20 millions.

What are your thoughts?

Let's celebrate!

I wish the people here would realise that the stated number of the front page isn't even close to the real market share. Depending on how you define the market, the Wii is either much, much higher or quite a bit lower. But this 47.6 per cent is largely meaningless and misleading.

Debating with fanboys, its not

all that dissimilar to banging ones

head against a wall

Or maybe this 47.6% is right where it should be.

Obama Wii domination

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Pardon? Care to explain how/why?

Actually, no. I'll explain things to you.

To find the Wii market share, you divide the Wii sales by the sum of the Wii, PS3 and 360 sales, then multiply this number by 100.
