Wii pwns PS3 & 360
This is quite crazy and shows how different the US + UK markets are to the JP one. The Wii is outselling both the 360 + PS3 put together in JP. Thats insane! I haven't bought a Wii game since launch because they're all party games and I have no-one to party with But anyway it shows how different the markets are imho. Its annoying too as there's plenty of Japanese games I want but they don't translate them into English. The 4th Bleach game is out next week and I bet its fully Japanese

Absolutely no surprise to me, Nintendo could release a toaster and it would outsell every brand on the market by a country mile. I wouldn't mind seeing figures for this country though to see how all three are doing now.

Hehe yeah cool You're probably right. They could release a Mario toaster thats specifically designed to make you grow and people would buy it. Toasts a cute little M into every slice.

I want a mario toaster now too
Email that idea to Nintendo Davey The wii's not really interested me because of all the party games but the concept is really good imo. Nice and original for the console market.

I'm not sure if anyone already reads this but UK Resistance is quite funny for their absolute and undying hatred for the PS3 along with the comedy (and poor) photoshops of Ken Kutaragi, they appear to have some sales figures from Charttrack every so often though.

Well, they have made vaccuum cleaners in the not so distant past so I'm sure it's possible!
