nobody? do you have a lack of long term memory? the wii is 3rd this week in the US. and it was 1st 2 weeks ago. Seems this is more based on game releases than anything else. also keep in mind that the 360 has more users in the US than the wii. worldwide the wii sells more consoles and hardware. (because 360 in japan is dead)
The 360 is only leading in software sales because of the extra year. If you count only the first half of this year's software sales, you get this:
01. NDS Pokemon Diamond Version
02. Wii Play w/ Remote
03. NDS Pokemon Pearl Version
04. PS2 God of War II
05. PS2 Guitar Hero 2 w/ Guitar
06. 360 Guitar Hero 2 w/ Guitar
07. Wii Mario Party 8
08. 360 Crackdown
09. NDS Diddy Kong Racing
10. Wii Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
Only two 360 games in the top 10 in sales from Jan 2007 to June 2007. That's not really outselling the Wii in software. Man, these MS fanboys are funny. They get one good month of sales and suddenly they think it translates to their system having incredible software sales throughout the year. At least keep up with the NPD numbers or else don't talk about sales at all.
The odd thing is that nearly every single post so far has been just changing the subject. The TC is right and software sales generate higher revenue and profit percentage anyway.
Oh well, I guess people would rather just change the subject...

Ok, yes so far there are more good 360 games, but the system had a year head start. You can't expect 2 years worth of good games from a year old system. just bad logic.

When are you counting the total game sales? Since the launch of the 360? Since the start of this year? Or are you really falling for MS spin and going by last November? Because if you are going by MS' spin, that's pretty sad numbers considering that most software sales come during the holiday season and MS had to combine those against two consoles that launched at the end of November in order to inflate the numbers into looking impressive. If they're relying on such data manipulation, then software really must not be selling well as everyone thinks.

It's not, they're just really scrambling right now because their arguments are weak when facts are presented to them.

I said nearly every post...No software? Let me clarify:
1. Wii has had probably at least two pieces of software in the top ten list of the NPD (or more, as seen last month) since it's release. Poor software sales? I think not.
2.The 360 has had a year's headstart, which also means a year's headstart in software.
3.It's still outselling the 360, and since the Wii came out a year later than the 360, that's a pretty amazing feat.

I bought Wii games for the Wii, therefore your logic is void.
If they're relying on such data manipulation, then software really must not be selling well as everyone thinks.
Zhengi
Data Manipulation? You showed me a top ten list from earlier this year. Showing the top ten only and using old charts = data manipulation.

This may be the worse stereotype ever, but I wouldn't expect a Common fan to be a Nintendo fan.
That just doesn't seem...RIGHT to me.

the same could be applied to you. People could assume you're a sheep because you have a ds game as your sig. Thats why we read instead of taking things at face value.

The Wii has an excellent attach rate for a system only 10 months old. It's over 4 games per console. How much 360 software was sold in that system's first 10 months? A LOT less than the Wii has sold.
There has been approximately 45 million pieces of Wii software sold in 10 months.
How many pieces of 360 software were sold in it's first ten months? This isn't a rhetorical question, I actually want to know. vgcharts.com used to have all sorts of awesome comparison tools, but for some reason they've gotten rid of all of them.

Well even if you divided the 360's software sales by Half (which is probably more than it actually sold in that year giving the low hardware sales up until the holiday last year) it's still a decent chunk less than the Wii. The fact that the Wii has sold a little over2/3s of the games the 360 has in half the time is depressing anyway you cut it.
