He's commenting on the fact that you're making sweeping generalizations, that at the current moment, are un-true.

Despite having fewer consoles in homes since the launch of the last generation of consoles, Nintendo probably has made a hefty profit.. more so than Microsoft and Sony have in comparison.

You mean "nah, just truthiness".

Truthiness: in reference to the quality by which a person claims to know something intuitively, instinctively, or "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or actual facts (similar to the meaning of "bellyfeel", a Newspeak term from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four).

Hmmmm, perhaps you should get some facts before you start confabulating things:

The Wii has sold almost 4,000,000 units since its launch on November 19, 2006. Thats near half of the 8.5 million Xbox 360s that have sold since its launch in late 2005. The PS3 is sitting around 1.2-1.3 million units sold.

So looking at that I'd say its sitting at a good 2nd place, and catching up with the XBOX 360.

Now don't get me wrong I like the XBox 360, so much so that I plan on purchasing one later this year, however, before you knock the Wii, perhaps you should try it. Call of Duty 3 for example, while it has better graphics on the PS3, just is not as fun with the traditional controller; pointing and shooting with the Wiimote feels more comfortable than the mouse and keyboard system on the PC.

I've actually played the PS3 on a High Def screen, and though some of its games have pretty graphics, the games are just the same old rehash with the same control scheme, just better graphics, and therefore IMO is not worth the $500 or $600 pricetag.

I'm thinking the WII is killing them both. Nintendo profits are going to be HUGE. It's so much fun to play. DS is also racking up the sales. A lot of fun games for the WII right off the bat and more on the way -- It's a winner!!!!

I read somewhere the DS outsells the PSP 10 to 1.

This might be a lsight overstatement. I believe, so far it has outsold PSP 2 to 1 in total sales. Perhaps over the Christmas season it was selling at that rate, but I imagine that is quite an exaggeration either way.

In keeping with the thread's theme, here is my post from my Wii.

[Oxygen-Supply]

Need Wii help please!

How can I post on CP from my Wii?

My Wii is connected by wireless and I can connect to the Wii channels.

Thanks for the help

[Sparks]

Go to the Wii Shop, choose WiiWare, and download the Opera browser. You can post on CP from there if you want.

Ever since I saw this thread I had to post and that I can here I go. MY first post from my wii!

As long as it's posts FROM a Wii, not with your wii...
