think about it, i dont know a single person that owns a nintendo wii. but i know roughly around 10 people who own a xbox360.

so how can it be true that the wii is only 800k behind the xbox360? i mean even if you include japan with its small population it still isnt that much plus european countrys dont play with wii's that much.

Just because you don't see 'em doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I've never seen a PSP in public, and I've seen a DS three times.

I know one person who owns a Wii besides me, and nobody that owns a 360.

I know one person that owns a 360, none that own a PS3, and 4 tht own Wiis. I am 30+ so my experience may differ. If you want to know what people I know WANT to buy but havent, then it would be heavily in favor of the Wii. I have friends that want a Wii but cant find one...still.

aside from nintendo's inability to manufacture an adequate amount of hardware to meet demand, the wii is selling as much as we have heard. there's a reason why its sales are beginning to catch up to the 360s despite the 360 being released earlier. the wii will continue to sale because of nintendos great job marketing the system as extremely user friendly no matter your age group.

I believe it. Why? Because I never see them on store shelves. And I trust Nintendo a lot more than I do either MS or Sony, so I believe in the numbers they report.

Thats kinda childish but whatever its a free country. I play video games for fun, not advertisment.

Getting back to the topic, yes I do beleive the Wii really is in high demand. You still have to waite outside of best buy before it opens to get a Wii on the days they restock, so a lot of people are buying them. Plus a lot of my friends are buying Wiis too.

Oh wow! Really!? THAT'S AWESOME!

And I definitely believe it. I've only met a few other people with Wii's but there isn't a doubt in my mind that they sell that much.

I work at Gamestop and we get three systems in every one to two weeks and they are gone within twenty minutes. We get over two dozen calls a day asking for Wiis and that does not include in store questions. Wii is selling hotter then sliced bread.

Well all my friends have 360s and Wiis and only one I know has a PS3 so I'm going to be different and get a PS3.

Oh I would also like to add that in my area Wii's are still impossible to find,So I would say the whole 800k behind the 360 is pretty accurate.

Nintendo is probably lying. I mean it's pretty easy for them to fake the numbers since it breaks absolutely no laws about being truthful to shareholders.

Sarcasm buddy. There are laws called Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act (securities= stocks) that requires a company to be truthful and open to all it's shareholders about their stocks and sales and other related numbers. So for Nintendo to lie about sales would be illegal. Gotcha TC?

One good thing to remember about official numbers from companies is that they are always behind. They only need report sales from fiscal quarters, so the last 'official' numbers we have are from Q3 '07 (fiscally). Nintendo's last quarterly report just came out and it only tallied sales through March '07 (calendar-wise). Fiscal years are tricky.
