Look at game sales for an accurate barometer of the health of a system. I think you'll find the PS2 continues to hammer the Wii, and has since launch, on software sales. Sure, some of this must be blamed on the Wii launching with a free "game", but in truth, the game selection for the Wii still isn't that hot, with eh-it's-okay ports and kooky games targeting the Japanese audience primarily. Besides Twilight Princess, there hasn't been any true games that force everyone who owns a Wii to buy one (like the XBox's ubiquitous Halo series), though Mario Party 8 seems to come the closest. I admit, we are still waiting for Mario Galaxy, Smash Brothers, and possibly Metroid Prime: Corruption, but the Wii still needs to sell more games to be considered the "next-gen contender" everyone hopes they'll be, especially once the heavyweight games for the competition start to come out this fall.

That's seemingly not turning out to be the Wii so far. Having millions of consoles is good and all, but if the main winner is Nintendo and its first/second party offerings, then we basically have another GameCube/N64 on a bigger scale. Personally, I don't think that's really any better than a system selling less but having super high tie in ratios (ala 360). If nothing else, it's clear the PS3 is getting screwed this time around.

Many of you are simply in denial. Nintendo is back and here to stay. If Apples suddenly cost twice as much as Oranges yet sold at a loss then which would you bet on?

Ps3 broke the console record of ps2 and wii didnt produce enough consoles to sell that many. Ps3 beat out 360's first 6 months for a fact. dont believe all stats kids, they can easily be incorrect.
