So someone, please tell me why people think the Wii is some kinda reigning champ thats going to run away

with the title this generation.  To me these numbers show that too many Wii owners are casual gamers that arent going to drive the Wii to longterm success.  It shows 

that the wii was a hot fad last year and lots of people are already losing interest and just going to buy the

big releases (mario galaxy, smash bros, metroid, zelda) but not support 3rd parties and thus not support

the platform as a whole.  Its actually on track to follow the N64, funny how some people say the opposite, 

that the PS3 is going down the N64 pathway.

You can't discount Wii Play + Sports. Therefore, your numbers are wrong from the start. The end.

So it's okay to include MotorStorm in your PS3 totals, but not Wii Sports in your Wii totals? Plus, not all of the Wii Sports software is pack-in. In Japan, you have to buy it. Unless I'm missing something, your data seems as accurate as SDF's.



Let's just get rid of 1.5 million PS3's sold because they were bundled.

I hate to say this, but you just phailed.

You had to take away a console's biggest sellers for another console to come close to beating it in sales because Nintendo made a great decision about bundling a game with a wiimote. So this somehow validates some meaningless point.

 Good job ignoring my first point about MotorStorm.  Regardless, my point is that if you're going to include pack-in MotorStorm, you've got to include pack-in Wii Sports, and if you're going to include pack-in MotorStorm, you most definitely have to include a game that actually costs money like Wii Play.
