[QUOTE="Sumez, post: 55822, member: 1547"] Like the "posthumous" PS2, most of the Wii sales were a different target group. But yeah, from a purely marketing standpoint, Wii was a way bigger success than either PS3 or X360, especially considering they made money from each console sold, compared to Sony and MS who didn't have much of a profit on console sales, using them mainly to boost the game sales. As a consumer, the important factor to me, however, is the availability of good games on the console, and though Wii does have a few hits for me, I've been using my X360 way more, and the only reason I haven't used my PS3 as much as my X360, is that I got most of my multiplatform titles for the 360. If these numbers are something to go by (vgchartz isn't 100% reliable, but based on trustworthy sources), 360 far outsold PS3 in America, but PS3 is ahead in other parts of the world resulting in a total with PS3 right behind the 360. [url]http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/[/url] Game sales are also pretty close, but with X360 ahead with around 100 million: [url]http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/Software/Global/[/url] [/QUOTE]
