No kidding. Even the sports talk stations here in Philly were talking about the Wii. It was disgusting.

and yet, wiiplay didn't even beat halo 3 in total sales on the year. That's why the wii isn't as great as it looks. It has tons of consoles out, yet the game sales don't reflect that.

You're right. There are probably a lot of folks who purchased a Wii that just use it for Wii Sports and have perhaps one or maybe even no other games.

Re: December 2007 NPD Sales Data

Some of you just need to face the reality that the Wii is not going away. Maybe it doesn't fit into your teen-male first-person shooter makeup, but it is the console people want more than a 360 or PS3.

The Wii is not a fad. It is not a gimmick. It is the future of gaming. You don't sell 8 million consoles over the span of 14 months (which included not one, but 2 Christmas seasons at the hottest console around) because it's a fad.

Game sales are doing just fine for the Wii. The Wii has 3 games in the top 10. How can you still say it's not selling games? The only reason GH is not on the list is because they have had problems getting it into the stores.

You're joking, right? The Wii outsold every other console during 2007. It's been making them truckloads of money since day 1. Why in the world would they not be in the market when the next generation comes around?

there had to have been millions of Tamagotchi sold in a short amount of time back in the day too. A period of high sales doesn't mean it'll stick. The will is selling great, as it's cheaper than anything out and is SDTV friendly. However, as the price of the 360 and ps3 fall, the Wii will become irrelevant.

Yes the wii has games on the list, but if you take console sales into account, which you even praised, they should have more. The games they do have on the list don't even top the most popular games on a console with less consoles out. The wii sales do not translate to many game sales. That's why 3rd party companies will continue to give the Wii the shovelware treatment.

LOL at the Tamagotchi analogy. I forgot about those things.
