it's totally wrong to compare Wii with PS360. Wii is sold so good, because it has no serious competition. what wii has, ps360 often don't have. the big titles on ps360 often don't have a wii-version. if you put ps360 together, the number of wii looks not so impressive (46M vs. 46.83M). no war! just my opinion.

 That´s when we disagree. If there wasn´t a wii the ps360 sales would be max 10mln more than what it is today and this gen would be a complete failure. PS2 would still be selling on par or even more than both HD systems. But thta´s something that we can´t be sure completelly, but given wii public is a pretty good bet.

Imagine that Nintendo went bankrupt with the GC and in there is only PS3 and x360 on the market. Why would the people who bought wii play, wii fit, mario kart Metroid and Zelda jump on the HD bandwagon. If they are gamers, but casuals, they stay with the ps2 and would be pretty happy with it. If they are not gamers why would they get one? Give me a valid argument why would this public get a ps360(one of the two)?

Singstar? There´s plenty on ps2. Guitar Hero? Buzz?Viva Piñata? The only title for that demographics thta sold more than one mln and is not heavilly bundled is LBP, and we know for sure is not a system seller, altough I bet will be one of PS3 top 10.

Why would they upgrade? There are close to 49mln ps2 in US alone, so is very widespread. My bet is: casuals would stick to ps2, core and hardcore would get an HD, so 10mln more units without a wii on the market and that´s it.

Actually, this was in another thread a while back, but I would have probably sat this gen out had the Wii not emerged. I was begining to feel the industry stagnate.

As for Bioshock, I actually believe the fact that Wii has nearly sold more consoles than both HD consoles combined is mightily impressive. Enhanced by the fact it was launched a yer behind the 360. The Wii is incredible, and is a phenomenon.
