To date, Nintendo has sold nearly 35 million Wiis, including 12.6 million in the U.S., Nintendo's biggest market. That's lower than Sony's PlayStation 2, which has sold 43 million units since 2000. But it's still pretty high for a console that, at launch, was technologically a generation behind its chief competitors, Sony's PlayStation 3, with 13 million units in users' living rooms, and Microsoft's Xbox 360, with 23 million units. This year, the Wii is expected to sell more than the best-selling PS2 sold in its best year, 2003.

why?    laughing    I like the wii dont get my wrong but.... playstations and the 360 are soooo much better.   laughing   I love, love, love my 360.. I know the wii's cater to casual gamers but still, those numbers are impressive.. If anything maybe it will make Sony and Microsoft stop pricing their consoles so high.

I just have to ask you since you own both:  what's the difference?  I have winning a Wii at the top of my list.  I had never even played one until a while back at Best Buy.  I swear, I thought the store manager was gonna have to ask me to move out of the line so all the kids could get their turn playing on the one in the store.  It's just me and my three girls so I don't suppose we are into gaming but I have seriously thought about buying one.

If your just a casual gamer the wii is perfect. It has lots of family friendly games. Lots of games for smaller children and it gets them up and moving.. in addition to all that its much cheaper.   laughing   The ps3 and xbox 360 are geared more towards hardcore gamers. The gamer that has to have the new game the day it comes out and will sit for hours and hours and play. (guilty)..  They have more rated T and rated M games. ya know for the blood and guts kinda stuff. Thats what we play. I want to shoot some stuff.   laughing     wii has very few games rated like that.. most are E for everyone.

You and the girls would love the wii. I hope you win one soon.

We are a wii family!  We like the family type games that we all can play together.
