Wii now matches Xbox 360 in total market share

I don't really think that people buy the PS3 for movies I just think there are enough titles out there to appeal to more people. I have more than enough games to keep me satisfied but that's not how other people feel hence the attach rate.

As awesome as the graphics and hardware on the 360 and PS3 are, I haven't been really tempted to get one and I haven't followed videogames since the PS1 and N64. I briefly owned a PS2 (recently actually) but I actually traded it (I know I'm crazy that way).

I think for me, the PS3 and 360 (PS3 mostly) haven't brought much innovation to videogames other than graphics. So essentially I feel like if I bought either of those consoles I'd just be playing games the same way as b4 with the only difference being the graphics.

With the games I've played on Wii I feel I'm getting a different experience and a more interactive experience.

I think just like the DS, the Wii is a breath of fresh air in the gaming industry. I know many hardcore gamers think otherwise, but I think it's pretty narrow minded to ignore the Wii just because it's graphics aren't Hi-def. If anyone gets a chance they should try twilight princess, godfather (or scarface), metroid prime corruption, or Mario galaxy. I don't think anyone can play those games and not see the fun that the Wii can provide.

If Nintedo had the guts to literally compete with the PS3/360..as in building a new console..not some rehash with gimmick controllers..and they had beaten the ps3/360..biegn priced with in the same price range I would give them credit..

there software sale is a disgrace..and they're the only ones actually making good games for the system does that ring a bell...hmm seems to me like nothing hasn't changed from last gen other than well the are selling more consoles at a faster rate.and we still don't know if those same ppl buying the Wii aren't originl gamecube owners..!!

Yes but it would have been sucide for Nitendo. I believe Nitendo knew that there was a huge casual market out there with the success of the DS so they took a big gamble by creating a console that will focus entirely on the casual market and thus not competing directly with the PS3 and x360.

@BS3
The roles reversed after E3 2006. After E3 2006 everyone said PS3 was doom and people couldn't stop sining wii praise.I am surprise by the degree of reversal though. I though it would be pretty even until the PS3 came down in price.

It is a toy. It will pass as the games dwindle.
