Wii just overtook the 360

Looks like the Wii has become the best selling game console in the world. Followed by 360 and then the Ps3. I still wouldn't opt to buy Manhunt 2 on it, but I will get smash and Mario.

Yerp... While I really am anit MS more than 360, I am anxiously awaiting the stock to update at my local BB so I can just get the HDMI Premium.

Why would a sony fanboy do so? Because if the xturds and pos3turds cant find a common ground together, the Wii will set a precedence this gen.

If the Wii really dominates, say goodbye to cutting edge R&D like unified shaders on the 360, cell on the ps3, etc etc. Reality is - we cant let this happen, and we are fighting a war this time around.

Old news my friend!

I'd put money that by xMas the wii will have more consoles that the xbox and ps3 combined. Mind you, there could be a Halo3 effect that blows up my theory.

Full Discloure: I use a wii for games, have an xbox but only kid games...then again my wii games are for kids too. Did I mention I'm not really a game person?

LOL. Dang. I figured since it was posted today it was new...oh wells, that must mean the Wii is now beyond the 360 even more. Agreed, I have seen ads on CL where people are looking to trade to get a 360. heck, I just want an elite, but the price doesn't do it for me. I have the premium and upgrading just for HDMI is not worth it.

Halo 3 wont save the 360 any more than Halos 1 and 2 saved Xbox 1

I think the 360 will stay midline as long as the Wii comes up with unique titles. Ps3 is still destined to be last...unless...A) blu ray wins which won't happen for a long time if it happens or B) they get a VERY impressive game line up

Um... hyperbole much?? High-end consoles aren't going anywhere. Calm down.

On the other hand, I personally think it would be nice if the traditional hardware race would just slow down a tad and let everyone catch a collective breath. There was a time when people enjoyed games for years on end without having to worry about upgrading consoles every 4-5 years (or a PC every 6 months). I love the new vistas of HD visuals and absurd polygon counts, but would it be such a bad thing if the Wii reminded some people in the industry that graphics aren't King?

Based on the size of the Wii userbase, more developers are going to take a harder look at it and figure out a way to maximize its features. If this leads to innovative titles and unique ways to play, I think that's just dandy. Metroid has now put the "gimmick" argument to rest by sporting a second-to-none FPS control scheme on a console, and the next few years are bound to lead to some more incredible titles.

Meanwhile, the PS3 and 360 will do just fine. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

--Sidenote: To the OP--why on earth would you not "opt buy Manhunt 2 on the Wii?" All indications are that the control scheme is incredible, and the only other place to pick it up is the PS2. Just curious.

Cool words.
