Microsoft's Xbox 360 has surpassed total online searches for Nintendo Wii said web analytics firm Hitwise on Friday. New games, price drop rumors, and inquiries about hardware issues were all cited for the increase. The news marks the first time since Wii launched on November 2006 that a different system has become the most sought after video game console on the internet While online traffic is a good indicator surrounding the success of a given product, inquiries of failing Xbox 360 units and Microsoft's newly announced 3-year warranty extension are sure to have contributed to the increase in addition to 360 price drop rumors and its strong line up of upcoming games. Since debuting, Wii has outsold both Xbox 360 and PS3 in that order for consecutive months.

That doesn't mean sought after at all, that just means poeple are googling xbox news more for the moment :|kittykatz5k

As the article implies/states...this is a leading indicator. No that doesn't mean it's proof or a gaurantee, but it has in teh past been a good indication of future sales growth. Only time will tell.
