Seems The Wii Is Seriously Catching Up

[Fez]

Last time I checked (Neversoft gave me the link)

Xbox 360 - 11,295,211
PS3 - 4,403,967
Wii - 10,504,966

I think Wii will be number 1 by the 20th

well the wii does own i bought my on the 20th august and then it was still hard to get sought of, i got the last 1 and they had them coming in alot!

Was just about to make this thread.
I was supprised how much it caught up... Although keep in mind the numbers are estimates. I guess they get the estimates from the votes though, so it can't be far off anyway. Even though it might not be exact, it shows that the Wii is the most popular.

Also, why did you put this under Microsoft? o.o

EDIT: According to Wikipedia this is how much each console has sold as of June 30th 2007:

Xbox 360 - 11.6 million+
Nintendo Wii - 10.7 million+
Playstation 3 - 4.28 million+

Cause the Wii is catching up to the Xbox 360

The wii always comes second every month after the ds in console sales ^^. People are finally coming to realise games can be fun without an 18 certificate.

My mate traded in his 360 for a Wii and he hasn't played on it for a month now - for most 'hardcore gamers' it's just not right.

& it's quite obvious that the Wii would catch-up because it's a more family-based console and it's cheaper.

well depends on the game i guess, zelda is really fun and not any lil kid or anythin could just play on it. but yeah it is much more family based as u dont need extreme skill to play it.

it's cheaper.

That's a big main point of Nintendo - it's cheap and for the family , trouble is they ignore hardcore gamers and such, sure Resi 4, Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Metriod Prime 3, but it just seems a bit too... umm... how do I put this... childish? Maybe it's the new controllers, maybe it's my arrogances, maybe I'm ignoring a lot of things but theres just something that doesn't attract me much when somebody says 'Nintendo Wii'

I'll proberly get one anyway in the future, but for now I don't see why
