They're dominating in all territories... and after 7 months are still sold out everywhere.... if it were a fad it would have been over after the Christmas rush... all of this and its big selling titles haven even arrived yet:  

What happens when Mario Galaxy, MP3, SSBB, Brainage, Nintendogs, Wii Health, and Pokemon arrive?

Good luck is all I say.

Anyone who thinks they have the slightest idea of who's going to win the console war is deluded. It's still anyone's game.

they won the launch without doubt, but to win the war, that is something else. Sony via the PS3 and MS via xbox and more so direct X on the pc, have gaming libraries that are vast. It will take such a library to win the war, and Nintendo have a weak spot that can be hit for massive damage when it comes to software libraries.

Like last gen? Their focus may be more diverse now, but they have to still prove themselves to the "casual" and "non-gamer" market.

Dont judge a systems sucess by its launch numbers. For all we know, demand for the Wii could completely stop.

Good for casuals, and what about the rest of us....the gamers? I don't care who wins, but if it means watered down graphics and gameplay, well...I'm not going to speculate.

To me, the winners are the companies moving gaming technology forward. Winners are the companies giving me the capabilities to play cutting edge games with great visuals and sweet gameplay elements. Winners are the companies inviting the third party companies in, not turning them down. 

 

I don't care about sales. And right now, my winners are Microsoft, Sony, Intel, ATI and Nvidia. Love the Wiimote, but so far, Nintendo isn't winning ME over, yet...

They're dominating in all territories... and after 7 months are still sold out everywhere.... if it were a fad it would have been over after the Christmas rush... all of this and its big selling titles haven even arrived yet:  

What happens when Mario Galaxy, MP3, SSBB, Brainage, Nintendogs, Wii Health, and Pokemon arrive?

Good luck is all I say.

As soon as everyone realizes that the current line of Wii games represents all that there is to come in the future and that those great titles that everyone bought the Wii to wait for aren't coming, it will quickly stop selling.  A large section of the market will not like to own a console that offers only the same old Nintendo games and that section happens to largest.  Sure it is selling now, but when prices drop for the 360 and PS3, the Wii will be left in the dust.  I like Nintendo, but constant sequels and variations of the same old games gets tiring.

Oh puhhhleeze. God of War 2? The GTA series? DMC series? Final Fantasy? Those are as much a rehash as anything I've seen.  See where I'm going with this? Sorry dude, but Nintendo won this before it began. See ya at the finish line.

Can't really disagree with that statement. But the reality is, all three companies are going to 'win'. No new competition equals a lot of revenue for everyone.

How can you honestly say that there is a lack of good games? "Good" games are all a matter of opinion, and on top of that, most early games are pathetic. Finally, to top it all off, the good games on any system are far outnumbered by the absolutely pathetic ones.

If you are refferring to TP, you have to get your facts straight. Just because a single site gave it a bad score, doesn't mean it flopped. The general consensus is that it was a great game.

It was a great game, but Nintendo doesn't get a free pass. It flopped. Just like Resistance. Just like Motorstorm. Just like Crackdown.

How many different Mario games must we go through before they are not fun anymore?  Sequels are good, but when your console is riding on games that no one cares about anymore except little kids and die hard fans that my friend is when your console crashes and burns.  Microsoft and Sony are trying to appeal to the larges market of gamers which is young adults to adults where as Nintendo says they are targeting everyone, yet the games show differently.  Face it, Nintendo is marketing towards kids and seniors which is why their console will fail.

When a console's section has Super Paper Mario, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, and Transformers the game as its top three games you know there is something wrong.

The generation is 4-5 years long and the Wii is not in the lead yet and only has a 3 million unit lead over the PS3 at this point in time. Last gen around 150 million consoles were sold, so a 3 million unit lead is nothing in a race that long. When GTA 4 comes out I expect both the PS3 and 360 to start picking up in sales.

I disagree but regardless of our personal opinions it was the best selling series last generation by far.
