Not to get all 'mathy' on you, looking at the last gen as a % of worldwide sales, you have:
PS2 - 71%
XBOX - 15.3%
GC - 13.7%

I'm not a console gamer, but my wife's mom basically 'phoned in' Christmas and gave my kids each an envelope with cash. They decided to pool it and get a Wii. They already have grabbed Zelda and some extra controllers ... and I call the stores around the area everyday for them to no avail so far ...

Wii's are deffo gonna sell more, since a lot more people can play them.

A girl I know works in Game (she kept a wii back for me) and said they could only get a stock of about 8 units at a time, and then they were sold within the hour.

OK I know there's a lot more hype for the PS3 (c'mon, its playstation!), but not as many people will buy it because of its stupid price tag, the Wii is very cheap compared to the rest.

You know what I don't get? Solid Snake is in Super Smash Brothers .... isn't he a Playstation character?

Yeah, that's not the first time that's happened, I remember that happening in another Super Smash Brothers game.

sonic is even rumoured to appear in it

I think the wii will outsell one of the console's. Hell, im gonna get one, just because they are so cheap and because i can really.

odhranus · 01-16-2007, 09:27 AM

yes get one, you wont regret, the games are great and even creating Mii's is very addictive, I told myself to goto bed early last night but still ended up making a few Mii's.

Kernel Kev · 01-16-2007, 12:05 PM

What are Mii's exacctly?

bamhm182 · 01-16-2007, 12:51 PM

I'm pretty sure that Miis are little "people", than I also think that they are like your virtual identity, I'm not really 100% sure though, so I wouldn't trust what I said until odhranus or Cabe or someone with a Wii answers.

Here's Wikipedia's article on Mii

I want a Wii, I think for my birthday I'm going to get NFS: Carbon, Rainbow 6: Las Vegas, and hopefully a Wii. than with whatever money I have left over, get a game for the Wii.
