So what some consider "another GC" and not a current-gen console is sure doing fine against the powerhouse PS3. Yes, I know it doesn't have the graphical capabilities that the 360 and PS3 have. I was aware of that when people posted screenshots of PORTS.

Who ever thought? I certainly didn't. I was expecting the PS3 to house the competition. It still may.

Just not today.

Say what you want fellow cows and lemmings. Go ahead and bash the Wii's graphics. Tell us it's another GC with more features. Let us know how "kiddie" it is.

After that, look at the sales. Try not to weep.

Maybe it is another GC, I mean nobody expected the PS2 to spank the 360 and PS3, so maybe the Gamecube beating them isn't too surprising either.

lol jk... :P

and people can't say nobody wants the games, because Warioware, Wii Play, Zelda, Tiger Woods, and Sonic made the top 20.

Tastes,

Expectations,

All four are factors that effect demand, it's not just price.

I guess this would mean something if I bought a system because of sales numbers. I say enjoy the console you buy. I however do agree that the Wii is destroying the PS3 in sales at the moment.

I think the biggest thing is  the price and how little the PS3 has at this point.

The Wii is still garbage, in my mind.  I don't care how many people buy it.  I don't enjoy shopping at Wal-Mart either...but that doesn't stop it from being the #1 Retailer in the world.

Two words:  crap sells.

maybe if sony decided to make a console for gaming purposes only and not a super do it all system they would have done better, gamers want a system for one purpose only and its to play games thats it, i dont want the extras they are trying to push on the consumer i want a gaming system pure and simple and thats why the ps2 and the wii are doing so great there nothing extra just pure fun and gaming :P

PS2 is last gen and outselling all new consoles also.  So are you saying it destroys the Wii also?  Sales don't make a console great and it is still early in the game to be calling a winner.

Again, people are confusing quality with units sold. This is system wars. Winning this war is all about how much the unit sells, not what is better. I'm not claiming the Wii is better, I'm stating it is winning this war through sales.

there's to faction preventing PS3 sales

PS2 is still alive, honestly, alot of PS fans are still sticking to the PS2

No commercially good games yet, only motorstorm is kinda tempting for the mainstream audience atm, but it doesn't offer much bang for the buck like racing games such as FORZA and GT.

Sony got ALOT of big mainstream hitters in it's first party camp, so there's really no worry, when the big games comes then the audience will follow. If not, to bad, it's a great system. It's impossible atm to predict anything, it's still doing pretty good.

Last I looked 360 was still the Hardware leader.  Will that change in the future? Maybe but Wii sales have been dropping every month.  Buhh, buhh the lack of units being shipped.  Look back a year ago 360 had shipping problems also.  Plus this May 360 will dominate sales of hardware do to Elite, Halo 3 beta, Forza 2, and Mass Effect.  No system sellers are coming for Wii next month.  Plus you fail to realise that Wii software sales are poor compared to 360.  On top of 360 has an attach rate of almost 6 games per consoles compared to the Wii and PS3's small 2.

You gotta love the pathetic damage control. Constantly bringing up the PS2 to save face.

When I make a topic about the Wii sales compared to the PS2 sales, feel free to post.

Maybe because it can be spelled both ways and the british usually use "S". http://www.xpdnc.com/moreinfo/orlabour.html

 Go to dictionary.com you might learn something.  Plus everytime you are proven wrong you go.  "I wasn't talking about 360/PS2..."  Yet you were talking about the console wars.  Is only Wii in your definition of console wars?  I guess you couldn't read your first post either where you mentioned cows and lemmings.
