Official Sales

[sagema]

Here are the official sales of the consoles. Nintendo is now officially #1! Sony is around 3.5 million, Nintendo at 9 million, and Microsoft 8.9 million units -Internationally-. That means by Microsoft and Nintendo are almost 3x ahead of Sony. If that gap grows next year, the PS3 will be another Dreamcast, Neo Geo.

Sweet....did u read some of the comments that people wrote under the article?? People really are so into graphics and things lookin pretty instead of actual game play.

Has anyone else noticed that where there are "Wii bashing parties" the Wii users tend to sound more intelligent and use proper punctuation? They also tend to make their arguments without cursing.

lol thats so true Spyro, cause our games actually make u think, not just run and gun.

And Nintendo users aren't bent on killing the opponent when (literally, not just in the game) and we don't take steroids.

I remember back with Sega it was all about the graphics. That was their entire arguement against Nintendo. Despite the gap, Nintendo still dominated #1 until the N64. Another factor back then was price. I remember as a kid easily being able to buy used NES games for a few dollars. Even with the random price range of $20-$60(there was no firm standard until the SNES) for new games, a lot of them could easily be bought for $20.

Thats cool but odd at the same time, because the last I heard, the last sales I heard was the Wii had sold over 10 million consoles, not 9?

I am confused , but oh well, we get the general idea.

i work at best buy and i see the demographic all the time of who buys a wii and who buys a ps3/xbox 360.

look at these people and its no surprise that Nintendo folks are more intelligent and articulate.

hint: we don't wear bling and we dont pop, lock it, and drop it.
