In b4 "you can't play sales" o wait...

Seriously, people in 360 and PS3 sales threads argue all the time, but if its about wii sales, the user just gets flamed:|

Animal crossing may not be "the game" everyone was looking forward to. But IMO i think it's worthy enough for a purchase.

Its because 360/ps3 fanboys can't accept the fact that the Wii is beating both of them and they have no argument against it, so they just say "lol u cant playz teh salez"

Who flamed him? I took a quick glance at the news topic he posted and saw 2007 written all over it so I came in here and pointed it out to him that the article said 2007 not 2008. After reading the full article though I do see that it says that amount for the next 3 months.

Nintendo has done a terrific job introducing the world to gaming the same way Packard Bell introduced millions to the PC.

I never said anyone flamed him specifically, it just happens a lot.

*yawn*

I'll be buying one as well this holiday, for my 7 year old nephew. The console would suit him well. Holiday season is always huge for every console.

Good news. With sales figures this insane, I'd be surprised if Wii didn't start seeing a ton of quality support in 09.

lol. The Wii has been outselling the other consoles all year, and mostly all last year as well. The Wii was a hit from the start -- don't get your hopes up, you'll just end up being disappointed.

It has very strong support in 2009. People tend to forget that many developers concentrated upon PS3/360 and laughed at the Wii untill the consumers started buying the consoles in their drones and made the developers feel bit retarded. Theres a post somewhere on SW's on upcoming Wii games which shows the Wii has a very solid line up for next year which rivals PS3's/360's.

My most anticipated games of 2009 are Monster Hunter 3, Conduit and Tenchu 4 but unsure if Tenchu 4 is this year.
