Those aren't official numbers and they can't be reliable.

The console sales numbers you see on the front page of NexGen Wars are estimates, and are not intended to represent exact, down to the minute sales as only Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony know the exact sales figures of their respective consoles.

The Wii will definitely pass the 360 sometime this year.

But don't forget, the 360 still has GTA IV, Halo 3, Madden 2008 (graphically superior to Wii, which could have more casual appeal), and all the great multi-plat titles.

Yeah, but we all know that chances are it will hit 7 million anyway by the end of the month.  Might as well start celebrating early :P

I guess these great sales shoot down the theory one analyst had a year or so ago that Wii would only sell 3 million units in its entire lifespan :lol:

Actually I think it should be at 6 Million even though VGCharts said that it reached 6 Million on March 11th but Nintendo said that it was only at 5. something million at the end of there Fiscal year so it might be close to 7 million because that was 1 month and 8 days ago.

The last Madden sold fairly well on the Wii for it's install size.

Yeah it does because Xbox 360 doesnt have alot of mini-games. 

The Wii has more games then the PS3, and more games then the Xbox 360 did at this stage of it's life...

I believe he was talking about good games, not crappy games, which is pretty much 99% of the Wii's library.

Also Nextgenwars is a crappy source and so are all of those other fanboy sale sites.

I am loving the Wii games, sorry they are not the type you are looking for. Of course, I am assuming you have played some so you actually know....

Even if they are not 100% accurate Nintendo said it sold more than 6 million a couple of weeks ago and if its a 7 million right now, its not a surprise. I mean stores do get shipment but the Wii is ALWAYS SOLD OUT.

Zelda TP may be in the top 20 at Gamerankings but its still AA here, and we only use GS reviews here. I still love the game though.

Anger? No. Truth? Yes.

I own a Wii. Have since December of last year. I have played TP, Wiisports and some of Warioware SM. Warioware and Wiisports got boring fast and TP is the type of game that is great, but it could have been so much better.

I have seen people play games like Red Steel, Excite Truck, etc and none of those games are what I would call good or even great games. Average to below average at best.

So far the majority of the Wii games are niche or just plain bad. Hand me downs more or less from last gen and something devs/pubs are trying to make a quick buck on. Pretty sad really, but I don't expect much from the Wii as far as games go, at least not from the 3rd party type. Nintendo of course will have its first party titles and I guess that will have to do.

Why do you believe he was talking about "good" games... If he was talking about good games he would have used the word good before the word games... As it stands all he said was Games... So don't go making assumptions about what he means... When there is no way for you to know that.

What else could he have been talking about? I rarely, if ever see some one come in here and say, "I bought this really crappy game and it rocked my world!".
