I had to count twice to make I didn't make a mistake. I can hardly believe this. I mean sure, we expected a spike, but this much?
I can understand the wii taking the sales by more than a landslide i guess.... it's just so much more playable than the other systems... I guess what I mean by playable is all you have to do is move around to play it...
Adults that have never picked up a videogame in their life can play this thing with ease... it's not as complicated as the PS3 and 360.
Sure the wii may have a lot of obsolete titles, but obviously that hasn't affected them!
The Wii will be the downfall of video games. it sells an assload and its stupid games sell an assload. It's just a matter of time before microsoft and sony start following suit. Okay maybe i'm being a little cynical here.
