Did you see on CNN a few days ago about a Bowling league of old people playing Wii-bowling? They said it's good exercise for old people. So I don't see the PS3 catching the Wiithis gen if Nintendo is going after people over 50.

I don't really care if the 360 is #1, #2, or #3 as long as the great games keep coming out. :)

Exactly! This is how PS3 users feel too. As long as they get UC2, GOW 3, GT5, Heavy Rain, Demon's Soul along with great multiplats such as Assasian's Creed 2, Batman, Ninjga Gaiden, FF 13, etc I dont think they care what position of sales PS3 is in.

Nintendo has opened new markets, and re-opened old markets.
I know plenty of people who have come back to gaming through the Wii, having grown tired of the typical FPS and third person fair on the mainstream consoles.
It's the only console of this era I would own.
But then I have a PC for the other stuff. Even then I don't play much apart from l4d Versus on the PC. Traditional FPS's have lost their fun compared to competing against real people in a story structure as l4d offers.
If all FPS' played like l4d however ...

Yes, becuase it is just ozzing with quality titles.
It's in last place, in my heart.

Your heart doesn't matter, especially when the facts say otherwise.
Perhaps people would care more about the Wii's 1st place position in sales if they were actually targeting an audience SW gamers cared about.
The OP is actually boasting about popularity among the elderly, I'm sure everyone is jealous their system doesn't account for that audience...

If that is true why is there a constant fight for second place between PS3 and X-box 360 fanboys.

Out of 3 of them, 1 is a puzzle game and expires its 1 year release period in a day or two.
2 more are multiplatform, 1 a music game, another a sports game.
That's the best the Wii had to offer for the pass 1 year....
How bout checking out hte 360 and ps3 section. You need a lesson about what kind of games a console SHOULD have.
I know the TC is using something like older people having Wii bowling tournaments as something laughable about the Wii, the other systems can't claim to be marketable to anything much beyond the 13-35 demographic.
Wii created a console that appealed to more, is releasing more kind of gaming, some of lower quality of course, but they are still selling. Nintendo still releases their core franchises, creates new IPs and still sells very well. Sounds like a bunch of 1st place to me.
Your heart is not where the race is decided, luckily.Yes, becuase it is just ozzing with quality titles.
It's in last place, in my heart.

And apparently you have a raging case of fanboy. You should have that looked at by your physician, btw...Nintendo has sales and quantity of games

Why look at Gamespot? Look at GameRankings, why do you have to care on how games are rated?
Girlfriends like playing on the Wii. Be it SMG, De Blob, Rabbids TV, Brawl, or Dead Space Extraction. Okay not the last one, but my ex would have enjoyed it.
So Nintendo wins the generation.
Because if gamers don't get grilfriends, get settled, and have babies there will be no new baby gamers to play the next generations of systems.
And the best Nintendo games have a broad appeal too. Double win.nintendo is already in first place. they have the most AAAEs and AAEs

that only happens because wii:
1) cheap from the get go
2)parents buy it for their children to have fun with them
3)It's 4-all friendly(say 4 because I never seen a 3 and down play)
4)the whole motion crap got people curious
5)DS =D even I have it!!!

You win best pot of the day award. :) It's all too true. I was lucky to marry someone who loves games as much as I am, most including the Wii.
That's what I figured when I bought my wife the Wii, however turned out she liked XBLA so much more I had to turn around & sell the console not a month after I got it.Girlfriends like playing on the Wii.

Gaming on the PC and HD consoles has been "way better" for you? Define "way better."
I game on a gaming rig, too, and my Wii sees at least equal playtime, if not more. That said, it does appeal to a particular slice of gamerdom, so I can totally understand why you may not particularly like it - most traditional gamers do not - but "way better?" Have you played all that many games on it?
In sales, casual and moderate eyes, and not being generic ya, but according to almost everyone on this site no (80% hardcore and hardcore hate wii)

Apart from us older PC gamers who look for something different in a console than those folks with PS360's in their bedrooms?
It was kinda the same last gen expect people were buying the PS2 as a cheap DVD player. I guess to get sales in the high million you have to look outside the hard core gamers something which Sony and MS are trying hard to do right now.Yeah but I saw this on CNN and I thought no way Nintendo is losing this gen now.
