According to some not-quite-official but probably-relatively-accurate numbers from VG Chartz, Nintendo moved 1.7 million Wii units last week. That's a staggering number in its own right, and compared to the now-cheaper Xbox 360 (535,806) and the "hey guys, I'm still here, and I play Blu-ray discs" PlayStation 3 (239,576) it's a pretty commanding lead for Nintendo. The fact that most people in most areas can finally track down a Wii at a retail store for a non-inflated price probably isn't hurting things -- not to mention that really cool bowling game they've heard so much about. We're curious what console you might've picked up for a friend, loved one, family member, or that good looking person in the mirror this holiday season, so hit up the poll below. Then, after you've taken a particularly long sip of egg nog, hit up the video after the break and weep for humanity.Read - 1.7 million Wii units sold

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.... err "weee"
first of all, its a FACT that Japan lessened shipments of wii to North America because of the weak dollar.
Two years ago, the Yen was 113 to $1.. Now its around 89 to $1 - which was a pain in the ass for me because I was in Tokyo and could feel my $1 losing value.
The Wii sales hype is mostly due to the artificialy created shortage of them driving up consumer demand.
The only thing i could possibly buy a Wii for, is as a convergence device for Turbo Graphyx 16, SNES, NES and Genesis games. Wii games in general SUCK. Witht he exception of No More Heros, everything else Wii has that might be considered good has "Metroid, Mario, Zelda or bros' in the title". The wii fanboys can downrank me but so what. We all know the REAL content is on 360 and PS3.
That's why you can't own just one system. You gotta catch em all. Pokemon Wii crap
wii? ... more like shit..
Flashy,
I can believe you missed that opportunity to talk about your S550. You could have said something like "I could feel my dollar losing value, unlike my S550" or "I was in Japan and the trains were sure crowded, unlike my S550."
Why are people buying this thing again? To play games? Oh, wait, it hasn't had any major releases this entire year. To play DVDs? Oh, wait, it doesn't do that, either.
I seriously don't get it. Are people so blind that they'll buy something just because "everyone else is doing it"?
It's a real shame for our industry.
Note to haters: fun, accessible gaming > poly count. Nintendo *owns* this generation, despite the naysayers and the boatloads of cash thrown into this war by Microsoft and Sony. I, for one, am glad to see creativity win out over tech specs. Try playing Shaun White Snowboarding on the Wii Fit board vs. mashing a bunch of buttons. Then maybe you'll "get it." Or don't, and just blame the Wii phenomenon on "ignorant consumers." Whatever soothes your angst.
I know this is hard for some of you to take. Go comfort yourselves by the warm glow of your RROD...
No doubt the Wii did amazing numbers and I am not trying to take away from that, but the article is **very** misleading. Wii did 1.7 mil in the US and "others" (which, by VGChartz is termed as all areas - Japan - US with Japan not being posted yet). In the Engadget article, the numbers for the PS3 and 360 are US only, and do not include others. The number for 360 in the US and others is 918,919, while the PS3 for US and others is 485,937.
Engadget, please fix your numbers.
The Wii is OK for people who are entering gaming for the first time. Or "non-gamers". How could one play Gears of War 2 or Call of duty 4 effectively/accurately with the Wiimote and the Wii's lack of horsepower? It's ok for certain games but for more precise control the Wiimote flailing doesn't cut it. So I wouldn't be worried that the Wii is taking over gaming it's just including a whole new market.
But I also can't understand why there really haven't been many good titles released for it recently.
What also is amazing to me is how the biggest boom in gaming isn't coming from advancement in technology. It's coming from basically control methods. let's face it Guitar Hero could have been released on the Nintendo 64. Heck even a Super Nintendo. It doesn't require much power. Why didn't this come out sooner? Same thing goes for the Wii. It's basically a Gamecube with a fancy wireless remote. These "technologies" could have been around for years.
IMHO the next boom if you will for gaming will be "streaming games". No more games size being confined to a "disc". All data will stream from the net. Imagine GTA Earth...
Just for fun I YouTubed "wii plasma"
You should too...
IF the shortage was fake how to you explain surpassing the leading console months ago? I would understand a shortage if I saw the numbers PS· has but a console that sell to a million each month and during holidays sells 2 million. I don't see how you can still say that explanation.
NEWS FLASH: the Wii has been the hot ticket for 2 years. Both in-stores and online. Don't you think Microsoft's new ads saying how the xbox360 is also for the whole family explains what's happening?
Hey there, I build PC's also, started in '98 and am now a SysAdmin (built my last gamer over 4 years ago) and just want something freaking off the hook fun to do with my seven year old daughter while she still talks to me and before she's talking on the phone with boys. Anyways, some may think it's lame but playing pong with my dad, back in the day, was a blast. later is was Intellivision, Atari, NES and PS1 but we never had anything so interactive as pong, indy 500 etc.
I would dig a Wii 2 or a PS3 with *motion controllers similar to the Wii* but I dont see it happening soon and am bummed.
Cant have it all but I dont care about blu-ray, hddvd(betamax) etc, just wanna play.
I see that you can dload old NES and SNES games but the site isnt too friendly and I couldnt find a price list or how do create a profile to then dload the games to a Wii.

Console's are over rated.
Agreed!
Just get an nice computer.
Agreed
+1
And before the "But....But....The price" people start chiming in, listen to this. Yes, the start up cost for consoles is lower, but you end up buying a whole new system every few years for $300-$400 at best. You could keep the same hdd/ssd, psu, case etc. for long periods of time, and then every few years alternate between a new cpu/mobo and graphics card at about the same rate as you would buy a new console. So it's ~$150 in computer upgrades or ~$350 for a new console.
Umm, yea, because everyone that shops at Wal-mart knows what video card to buy and has a lot of money to spend in this great economic prosperity!
BobFromVegas,
Uhh, what kind of person reads Engadget? Oh yeah, the kind of person that actually has a clue about technology (I'm hoping at least that most of the readers are the kind that aren't scammed into buying a 5 year old graphics card for $300). And the poll is about "What kind of console did you buy for the holidays?" so if you don't know how to work a cellphone and are shopping at goodwill, you won't exactly be reading this would you?
@freakdiablo:
"Yes, the start up cost for consoles is lower, but you end up buying a whole new system every few years for $300-$400 at best."
It's far lower. The Xbox 360 started at 300 dollars, and now is 200. You need to get real bud. I can buy a console for ~$300 and have it working in my home on my TV in a very short time. PCs? Even people (like myself) who build their own PCs have problems with them. The console is just easier for people who don't want to waste the time finding a good PC or building their own.
"You could keep the same hdd/ssd, psu, case etc. for long periods of time, and then every few years alternate between a new cpu/mobo and graphics card at about the same rate as you would buy a new console."
The hard drive? Sure, but the power supply unit won't last long if you don't buy a futureproof one, which can cos quite a bit. Video cards these days are HUGE, so the same case may not be viable. And a CPU, Mobo, and graphics card that are atleast mid to upper range will cost well more than 150 dollars.
I should also note that I am a PC gamer, and I do like PCs better-but that's my opinion for my reasons. Consoles are great for a lot of people.
@freakdiablo
There are computer savvy people on here, but this is also a site for cell phones, navigation devices, displays, and consoles as well as PCs.
And just by your argument, you show that you sir, are not a computer savvy person, and instead you are a fanboy.
'Cause you can play LittleBigPlanet, Mario Galaxy/Brawl/Cart, etc.. on the PC.
They have their place, just like SLI rigs and Itanium processors have theirs.
@bobfromvegas
Um you said the xbox started at 300 and went to 200 thats not true at all. It started at $400 then went up when the newer model came out then lowered.
...so are misused apostrophes.
@freakdiablo
"And before the "But....But....The price" people start chiming in, listen to this. Yes, the start up cost for consoles is lower, but you end up buying a whole new system every few years for $300-$400 at best."
This generation of consoles started and stayed at the $300+ price tag for 3+ years. Previous generations were $200 or less fairly quickly.
For PC components, MB, CPU and Ram alone usually hits $300 for lower end stuff, and that still doesn't address power supply, video card, or hard drive stuff.
"You could keep the same hdd/ssd, psu, case etc. for long periods of time"
If you only have 1 PC this is a terrible idea. You're dismantling your existing, functional PC and essentially putting in a new one using some of the same components. The HDD is the worst idea because every year, prices drop on HDDs, the warranties aren't all that great as it is, and you're saving a whopping $60-100 on a hard drive here. You will have to do a fresh install of XP/Vista/Win7. What is the upside?
Power supply? If your power supply can handle current hardware demands, sure. But again, if something goes wrong and you _HAD_ just 1 working PC, you will quickly have none, and then what? Ditto with the case.
", and then every few years alternate between a new cpu/mobo and graphics card at about the same rate as you would buy a new console. So it's ~$150 in computer upgrades or ~$350 for a new"
In 5 years you're not going to just upgrade the mb/cpu OR video card. After 5 years you'd have upgraded everything, maybe even twice, and you will almost certainly have bought a new HDD. You're spending a lot more than $350 in PC upgrades.
i dunno about you pc geeks, but i have friends. and when these friends come over to hang out and we want to play some video games, we need a console, because you can't get more than one person on a pc. even if you could, how practical would it be to set up four tables with four sets of keyboards and mice? not very practical.
I already own a PS3, Wii, Gaming capable PC and a DS. I don't think I need any more. PSP is kind of tempting I suppose.
Yep, you have got everything you need their mate when you include the PSP.
1.7 million Wii's, what the crap? how? lol.
How? It's all down to their nonstop viral advertising in prime-time TV. Everyone and their dog wants one after those 'fun' adverts.
When i see one of those Wii-Fit or Wii-Tennis ads (i do not have Wii) I am just like holy shit, there gonna sell one hundred thousand Wii's TOMORROW to like 30+ year olds but personally i will not spend upwards of AU$300 on it.
Both Nintendo and Apple are really kicking ass as a result of advertising i remember the Playstation 2 third place commercials were quite popular back in the day and must have been some testament to its monstrous success.
... lets hope they advertise Street Fighter 4 like crazy (sorry its my 2 cents)
already own a Wii and i have no use for a PS3. So, i bought a 360 this year
most gamers I know have both 360 and wii. They are different in their own ways, I don't think the 2 can be considered competitors. 360 and ps3 are the 2 competitors, and 360 is definitely the leader there in terms of sale.
I was just the other way around. I have an Xbox 360 and a PS3, so I got a Wii.
I somehow got amazingly lucky and got a Wii Fit too, by sheer coincidence. I know it will make me hate myself and feel fat, but having one makes me feel better or something.
I've had my 360 for a couple of years, my PS3 for a year and a half, and I finally got my hands on a Wii Monday. I had to camp out at a Gamestop and wait for their shipment to arrive, but it was worth it so far. The Wii and the 360 compete for game playing time while my PS3 serves as a low cost HTPC alternative. Now I've gotta build my software library b/c I can stomach paying for the hardware, but $60+tax on next-gen titles hasn't become worthwile for me to own more than 3 titles for each system.
I havent used my Wii in literally 8 months. Its setting next to my TV tipped over collecting dust. I'm planning on selling it. It feels like all the games that came out for it were like minigames, and then there were the 2 or 3 big games from nintento which everyone loves. Worst buy ever. FOR ME. Not everyone.
The reason I like Chinese copyright piracy is because - here in Chinatown NYC - you can buy 4GB memory cards loaded with SNES, NES, Turbographyx16, NeoGeo and Genesis/Master System roms for your PSP or for your PC.
Because Nintendo holds copyrights to SNES and NES games, you can't get them for your 360 or for PS3. Only by breaking the law can you actually have a convergence device (PSP) that plays EVERYTHING. I have one of those m. cards. cost me $50.
I play Contra Alien Wars, Mario 3 and Revenge of Shinobi the most.
I woulda wanted a Wii for that ability, since Wii games SUCK...but, thanks to illegal bootlegging, I got what I wanted and don't have to give Nintendo a fkin dime! HAHAHAH
"I havent used my Wii in literally 8 months. Its setting next to my TV tipped over collecting dust. I'm planning on selling it."
That's what I'm counting on this summer when these things start to flood yard sales and pawn shops, where I can snap one up for pennies on the dollar.
Wii is fun! The only game i have ever owned is Wii Sport. It is the greatest game I have ever owned. I haven't played it for six months.
I actually hate companies publishing statistics of the console sales. It does not represent the picture of the whole industry. They should list the horrible video game attachment rate per console. If you include that, you'll see how suck the Wii's attachment rate is (disregarding Wii Sport). Xbox owns Nintendo hands down.
Look at DS, I bet half the people will have owned a R4 & clone as well.
I'm with you. The last game I played actively was Kart. My son plays it frequently but he just plays Sonic games and stuff like that. He uses the Game Cube controller for most of the games. I guess we're over the whole motion-control thing.
I've had a Wii since launch day in 2006 and it's been over a year since Galaxy (played with Game Cube controller) and 9 months since Brawl (also played with GC controller).
Wake me up when some real games come out. The Conduit is promising...
Flashpoint, you are an idiot and a jackass. How can you be proud of the statement that you just made. You admit to liking some of the games made by Nintendo, but in the same breath laugh about how you "got what [you] wanted and don't have to give Nintendo a fkin dime!" I guess you showed them.
You are probably the same type of person that will bitch and moan, and then say shit like, "man, there hasn't been a good video game since Nintendo went out of business."
Good luck with that monkey brain!
Wife got me a 60gig PS3. Best gift ever. I already put Ubuntu on it, have Assasin's Creed beaten, and watched several Blu Rays. Next up is to get some SNES emulation rocking on linux. I'm a bit surprised how quiet it is, too. Worth every cent!
How early do you exchange gifts?
Or is your next post going to be about how your wife returned the PS3 since you were ignoring her.
Actually, what if I told you she participates, navigator style. She's like the Goose to my Maverick...except with a D-Cup and no mustache.
i had the worst experience with my ps3.. no IR.. (sucks if you have a harmony) only a couple exclusive games. dvds sometimes played better in my 360 however the ps3 seems to play BD just fine.. the network movie playback was a joke.. poor dlna implementation. it was louder then my 360 when it was on for a while.. (and people said the 360 was loud.. yeah right...) also i drive modded my 360 for backups.. and even if the ps3 COULD do that it would be 50 gig BD disks to back up..
luckily i was able to sell it for only 50 dollars less then what i paid for the crappy machine...
Oh, Curtis Curtis Curtis.
Don't step on my joy with your fanboy ways, tis the season for giving and receiving and I received exactly what I wanted. I'm sorry you had a rough time with your PS3 but that seems to be more of the exception than the rule which is exactly the opposite, in fact, of what Xbox 360 owners can say. I also have had no problems with DLNA or streaming in general, though I admittedly do most of it through Linux and my NAS anyways. I can say for certain that the PS3 is vastly quieter than the Xbox 360 having had my friend's Xbox live at my place until he got a new TV. But the main point is this: Curtis, I wanted only one extra box sitting under the TV and the PS3 made the most sense in that regard. Most AAA titles are cross platform and many of the Xbox exclusives have come out for the PC as well. Gears of War and Mass Effect come to mind right away. I'm also a big movie watcher and love watching it all on High Def. I stream netflix to it from my PC, too. So, Curtis, super-pal, I hope you enjoy your modded Xbox, and I sincerely hope that you didn't void it's warranty, for longevity's sake, but, please with a cherry on top, stop having a fanboygasm and back the fuck off my PS3. =)
/salute Rob
@Rob
I'll bypass the obvious question of where did you find a chick in a D-cup that likes to play games to marry and jump to the more important question. Where the hell did your wife find a 60GB PS3 recently or was this a prior years gift?
The latter question isn't so difficult, I work with a girl that plays WOW and a few other MMORPG's with her husband and is packing at least the same or greater displacement.
@kal326
Ebay, and it was a gift for this year. I casually showed her one that was up and later she bought it without my knowledge. 315 dollars of backwards compatible goodness. Yum.
I see your D-Cup and raise you a 32E who's better than me at Guitar Hero... And people say you can't have it all :-)
@Rob @kal326
I would be a lot more impressed if that answer was to kal's more obvious, bypassed question.
Sorry Rob, but Goose is not Goose without the mustache. I can mail you one if you like, and maybe some aviators.
@Mr. Ford
Got the wife on Ebay, too, of course.
Even the dad of that first girl was a little disturbed.
The second kid cracked me up with the flapping.
Nintendo Wii. Give the gift of autistic self-stimulation this holiday season.
Watch it, dude. Jenny McCarthy and her gang of autism-and-anti-vaccine activists will corner you, strip you and show you what "autistic self-stimulation" really means.
Careful now, I am autistic (Asperger's Syndrome to be exact), and I hate my Wii.
But then again, I am very high functioning, while most autistic people I know love their Wiis. I guess I am just a special case.
PS3 FTW!!!
But I still found your joke to be funny, Ryan. +1 to you!
My wife is a Specialized Varying Exceptionalities teacher, and she was equally disturbed by the "self-stimming". So THERE. :-p
We're not allowed to say the "R" word in our house. ;-)
The R word? = Ryan?
i kid, i kid; the joke was good without being over the top; kudos.
Ugh... high functioning Aspbergers? Just call it what it is... you're a anime/game/whatever obsessed loner. Don't pin your social shortcomings on a medical disorder.
Looks like somebody isn't in the holiday spirit *cough* matt *cough*
Oh, and I do just fine socially, thank you very much.
Sega CD and Sega Master System.
Forget the 7th gen of flash and overheating! (And snapping hinges on the DS)
iPhone, since is supposed to be a console now.
yeah, i was kind of surprised engadget didn't somehow work the iPhone into this poll...
Damn you Riley, you beat me to it.
People are still buying these? Theyre fun for like a week tops or should only be used as a tool to pickup chicks
Mack daddy guy- "Hey I have a wii, wanna come over my house?"
Hot chick- "Oooo I luv the wii"
so now all of a sudden they have this great big supply?
rodsky - there are plenty of rumors about hoarding at retailers. Interestingly enough, I was in two Best Buys this week and found PLENTY of Wii's (20+) in stacks. I think that while consumers are spending more on Gaming Systems this year vs other presents, retailers are going to have an inventory hangover come January. Even with extended dating, I don't think retailers will have sold through their stock before the bill is due. Expect some sales late Jan and February's President day weekend.
I bought the best gaming device just two months ago, it's called a computer.
And if I were to choose a "console" I'd buy a PS3.
you are a little late on that, this so called "gaming device"...
VGChartz numbers are completely fabricated. They don't have any basis in fact whatsoever, and the website continually revises its figures as the official ones are released.
Indeed, in many countries the numbers are NEVER released, so how on earth can VGChartz know when everyone else does not?
They guess. A few of the "higher ups" tend to think of themselves as analysts and they speculate on trends based on personal feelings. It's kind of sad really.
I own xbox360/wii/ps3 already, so I dont need to buy any this holiday season.
I remember wii is the one with lowest game attache rate.
lol, that's the lamest excuse Microsoft came up with. I still laugh everytime someone explains how the console is better from a stock-owner point of view.
The Wii is overrated, I wish I had never purchased one. I haven't turned mine on in probably 8 months.
I'm the same. I have a Wii and can't remember the last time I turned it on. If I play a game, 90-95% of the time, that game will be played on my 360. My PS3 is mostly used for Blu-ray, but I do play a few games on it. The Wii just sits there unused most of the time though. In fact, the other day, I happened to notice that my sensor bar was not on top of the TV, I have no idea how long it has been that way...
Games-wise, I have about 50 Xbox 360 games (including Rock Band 2 which I have spent well over $100 extra on new songs), about 10 PS3 games (plus about 40 Blu-ray movies), and 4 Wii games. So my attach rate is huge for the 360, especially due to Rock Band and all the DLC and accessories associated with that game.
The Wii definitely has its place, but just not a lot of stuff that interests me.
The wii is perfect when your in-laws own it. Then you only play it during the holidays and it doesn't get boring and your family seems easier to get along with.
"the "hey guys, I'm still here, and I play Blu-ray discs" PlayStation 3"
Why the Ps3 hate, Engadget? This isn't 2006 anymore, the Ps3 has proved itself to be a worthy console.
A worthy console that's running a distant 3rd. My how the PS fortunes have changed in just a few short years.
lol no, it hasn't. Maybe a worthy Blu-ray player, but outside of the 5 or so exclusives, there's no real reason to own one.
amart:
Except for the fact that a majority of good games are cross-platform, and I don't need to worry about my PS3 getting the red ring of death.
Low rate me if you want, but it basically comes down to whether you want to buy a console from a software company that's less-than-proficient with hardware, or a hardware company that needs work with their software.
I'm surprised at the results. The ps3 is more something you buy for yourself I guess. Maybe there's more 360s and Wiis on peoples lists.
Myself? Nothing. I live in student halls with one 5 amp plug, what's the point?
Here in my dorm hall every one has 1 Wii, 1 Ps3, 1 360 and the avg size tv is a 40" LCD.
I already own a 360, DS, PSP & a very capable PC that pisses over the PS3. If I had the money then a PS3 would definatly be on the cards but more for novelty than any gaming purpose
Most people are missing the point on the wii. It is meant for the casual gamer and for people that didn't play video games before. I actually was ahead of the curve and traded my original xbox for a gamecube because the gamecube had games that my gf liked to play. The dudes at the game store were flabbergasted that I would purposely downgrade.
So, if you own multiple consoles, you are more than likely not a casual gamer. It follows that if one of those consoles happens to be a wii, your only going to be more dissppointed.
Now we've got the wii...no other game systems. We probably fire it up about 2 - 4 times a week.
And it is great for younger kids, too.
@flashpoint
[The Wii sales hype is mostly due to the artificialy created shortage of them driving up consumer demand.]
huh? They had slower than expected production which decreased supply. Demand was the same to the price went up. Now that supply issues have been alleviated, resale prices are back to MSRP. If anything, the increased prices served to decrease demand. I don't look at it as hype because there are real numbers at vgchartz to back it up.
Here's my take on the current gen consoles.
Wii - Good for kids and old people
360 - Good for gamers, ages 10-30
PS3 - Good for hi-def media junkies, hardcore gamers
DS - Good for your 5 year old niece (mine asked for one, at least)
PSP - Good for young urban professionals?
Personally, I think the Wii is awful, but I can understand why people keep buying them. The Wii has the most accessible games for non-gamers, since all you have to do is flail your arms around.
> DS - Good for your 5 year old niece (mine asked for one, at least)
You really should reserve an hour (or make it two hours... better four) and check DS game library.
There are tons of games for everybody. Literally.
This is too late to associate DS with "5 year old." Or you can get her Dementium and see her reaction ;)
> PSP - Good for young urban professionals?
PSP is so unsuccessful solely because DS is so successful. Technically PSP is great device.
> I think the Wii is awful, but I can understand why people keep buying them.
> The Wii has the most accessible games for non-gamers, since all you have to
> do is flail your arms around.
OK. Bye! I'll go with my friends flail my arms around - its called basketball and ... played with ball. But it's only flailing arms around... I feel so miserable FOR YOU. [/sarcasm]
As adult, I'd say, the bundle Wii+WiiSports in my eyes easily justifies $250 price tag. Waggle games suck, but still WiiSports was good time - as long as it lasted.
P.S. Nintendo! Bring it on!! We ready for WiiHD+WiiMoreSports and please do not forget to bundle projector!!!
To be honest, I completely believe it. A co-worker of mine told me that at the of the store of Media Markt (European version of Best Buy) he saw people walking out of the store with carrying them under their arms. Didn't look like there was any credit crisis to him.
I actually sold my wii and 360. The only console I ever use is my ps3.
Being poor sucks...
I love how most of the kids dont even open the wrapping paper all the way, they just see the white corner and start freaking out.
I have every system ,.n I could say ps3 n my wii r collecting dust,.big time,,I game about22 hours a week,.
Really wish I didn't get a Wii either :( Hasn't been turned on since the day after I got it (June).
They are well on their way to surpassing the PS2.
I am really surprised at the PS3 votes. Are the fan boys coming out of the woodwork for a vote? I'll admit I bought a PS3 this holiday season for my wife. She really wanted a blu-ray player and like any good wife of a nerd she said if she was to get any blu-ray player it would have to be a PS3 because they can do more than a regular player. I doubt we'll play any games on it but we'll see. I know she bought me another 360 to replace mine that died of the RROD for the second and final time. I had opened the case so there wass no sending it back to M$.
I like my Wii. It's great for playing casual games with my girlfriend, since I can't get her to even look at my 360. I really wish Nintendo had added HD, though. After playing the 360 in 1080p, the Wii is almost unbearable.
And not a Wii Fit to be found, not even under the mouse.....
Wii and DS is for chicks. I havent bought any current gen console, stuck to my PC/Mac Desktops/Laptops. But previously PSX/PS2 was where i was at, XBox was weak. Now it seems both X360/PS3 are good, but i'd probably go PS3 over Xbox360 as its got BluRay built in so even once i got bored of the games and new gen PS's were made it wouldnt ever outlive its purpose as a BluRay player!
My girlfriend used Yoga on Wii-Fit twice and never did it again.
I don't think I'd believe VGChartz too much. Their numbers consistently give the Wii and PS3 the benefit of the doubt, and rank 360 sales too conservatively.
I play my wii once a month still, I've had it since day 1 and I got 44 games.
Wii sales will crack 100 million next year
NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOOOUUUUUR!!!!!
None. Already have a PS3, 360, DS.
The Wii sucks.
