U.S. = 1 country

Europe= many countries

The US is made up of states far larger then the UK.

Then whyaren'tChina, India and Russia the 2 largest gaming markets???

Which goes against your point in the first place:| Higher Population =/= Bigger gaming population

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"]What's with all these country debates going on right now? It's all pointless. USA is many states, which is practically the same as europe having many countries >.> We all have people who suck, none of our personalities or habits are determined by the sucky people, none of the countries are the best. You =/= country. So keep dreaming people.

Finally someone who has a brain in this thread.

I think any console outselling the Wii is quite a feat. Good for them.

The Nintendo DS is not a console, but a handheld system.

Quality > Quantity.

Doesnt matter who sells the most, doesnt really benefit you except the developers and makers.

Australia is made up of states larger than the US states but we arn't conted Europe and the UK has a higer population denisty which is more important than size of state in your context.

I still laugh at the fact that lemmings and cows were getting at sheeps because of sales.Graphics and sales is all they talk about lately.
Anyway,Wii Sports Resort is coming.
Not only that,give up..The ps3 and 360 aren't going to touch the Wii.

A laugh that you are getting so butthurt over this:? I was simply pointing something out, with the mass appeal of the Wii, i thought that even if it cost double the price it would outsell the 360 and PS3 combined

I'm not 'butthurt',just telling the truth about how things are in SW and how the Wii is still going to win.

I doubt that being outsold for a couple of months means the Wii is dying. If it was outsold massively for a year in all markets, then the momentum would be dying, And when a console sells as well as the Wii, sales are going to have to slow down sometime, or we'll have one in every room. As more Wiis are sold, less people buy them, until eventually everyone who wants a Wii has one. Doesn't mean that it's dead.

interesting... yet, in 2009, the Wii is the #1 selling console in the UK. (according to this)

"The Wii is in second place with 5.4m, up 2.3 from last year

the Xbox is siting pretty with 3.9m units, up 1.7 from last year

PS3 is at 2.2m, up 900k from last year"

looks like the Wii has outsold the 360 by 600,000 units in 2009 so far...

So in 3 of the top 4 console markets for the 360 & PS3 (USA, UK, Japan & Canda) the 360 is outselling the PS3 by a considerable distance, where exactly is the PS3 selling enough for cows to proclaim it a worldwide leader in sales, exactly?

And while it might be interesting to point out that one or other has managed to outsell the Wii for a week/month some place, remember when you talk about sales the Wii will still outsell the other 2 combined for the year pretty much everywhere.

Australia is made up of states larger than the US states but we arn't conted Europe and the UK has a higer population denisty which is more important than size of state in your context.

UK population is about 1/5 that of the US (60 mil compared to 300 mil). So its still a huge individual market, as you were saying. Indeed, in terms of 360 & PS3 sales its the second largest single market (bigger than Japan)
