Well the numbers are in, and it looks like Nintendo's innovative new console is going to blow Microsoft's next-gen console out of the water. As you know, the Xbox 360 launched 1 year and 4 months ago, to-date selling an astonishing 9.5 million consoles worldwide. The Wii launched a mere 4 months ago, and already has sold 5.7 million systems worldwide.

This just goes to show you how well innovation sells. Nintendo has never been happier. Between the Wii's rivaling sales figures and the blowout with DS sales, Nintendo is having a tremendously successful run at the market.

Hmm thats very intresting.

But i the main point about it all is the HUGE price diffrence between the too consoles.

I own a 360 my self and love it with its HD on my 42'' HD tv.
How could you go wrong! play online just like you do on the puter.

The wii ive played and after a couple days playing it, i noticed my arm got sore and every thing became to repetitive. i guess thats true with any game but the wii is ment for not as hard core gamers you could say, while playing the 360 you can go for hours without some cramp in your arm or getting tired off swinging a controller around.

Not to mention hitting your self in the eye or even throwing it into your nice tv... one thing i hate about the wii also is the non HD call of duty 3 looks rubbish on it.

My 2 cents, but im not to suprised.

OK but there is a diffrence the Wii is new Technology that everyone wants to try the wii was made for the people to get inthe game not sit around since

AMERICANS are fat and i am not being mean but there is a high avrage about americans eatting fast food everynite

but besides that, the Wii was made so people of all ages can play and move around the wii is like taking exercise but in a game

the xbox and ps3 yes there have been xbox and ps2 and ps1 and psp
so the graphics might look better but in the same token the Xbox 360 and ps3 is just another console with better Graphics to most people the wii gets you in

every time a new thing is invented a car, bike, plane, computer, etc that does something new like a bike flying or a car evan people want to see this new technology that is the diffrence and wii is sold out in every Store i am trying 2 get 1 and on ebay $500!?!?!?!?! wow but nice i do not care about graphics on my console only on my pc :D Wii ROCKS!

my wii has been bought since the launch (bought in Texas.. but didnt arrive here til 2-3weeks later). I have to say. This is the first CONSOLE that I can sit there and play continuously without getting bored. You actually have to do something to get the game to work, not lay down like a lazy person and push buttons. You actually interact with the game.

Price difference is rather high, yes. But think about it. Xbox 360 started at what, 600$(7-900# for a good one)? then as time went its now 250$ for a good one? I'm pretty sure the Xbox's internals cost more to put into the xbox than the wii's. In the long run, I believe Nintendo's wii will out-sell AND have a greater income for Nintendo than Microsoft's XBox360. Same with Sony's PS3. Nintendo will beat the PS3 no problem.

Of the 3, I like Wii most, then Xbox360, then PS3. I never have really been a big fan of PS, but from what I've researched about the PS3, and heard from people I know who got it is that It's basicaly a PS2 with increased graphics performance, and a faster processor. Nothing much for a new system. And it has compatability issues, and overheating issues. (just things ive researched and been told. could be wrong, but then again, every system is different in minor ways.) PS3 is good for FPS games, and some adventure/rp games... -- the 360 isnt only an upgraded Xbox. You can now change your harddrive, etc, burn games, AND theres high-quality xbox live. 360 is great for Online Multiplayer games.

Ok maybe I shouldnt have gotten that into posting my opinion,but hey. I luv the wii :D it rocks.

AND NEW GAMES COME OUT THIS MONTH :D:D:D Mario :D


Nintendo Rocks!!!

It's funny really. Well over a year ago I said that the Wii would become everyone's favorite second console. The weird thing is that a lot of people are still keeping their PS2s and other last-gen consoles as their first.

Anyway. Even though I really like the Wii and 360, I don't own either. I really don't have the time to spend playing them that would justify the expense. As far as the 360 goes, if publishers would release more console only games for the PC I wouldn't want one. And as far as the Wii is concerned, I'll probably pick one up once I can actually walk into a local store and find one.

Yeah, If they released more games for PC i wouldnt want a console. Id just spend all my money upgradin my PC to handle those games. Workin on it and geting close. Only need a gig of ram, and a video card :D
