    Excellent stuff. Taken from that very site, five of the top ten games at the moment are for the Wii.


    I don't like the Wii myself and don't own one, but you can't argue against its phenomenal success.

    Because there's so many consoles out there if only half of people who own a Wii buy a game, that's equal to every PS3 owner buying one. So a lower attach rate isn't as important.

    Yeah but we're still getting our hardcore games so I don't have much of a problem with the Wii. Modern Warfare 2's sales figures are enough to ensure that there's life in the hardcore gaming market yet.

    Plus with most multi-platform games being PS3 and 360 not Wii, the market is pretty much split down the middle. Which is why I never understand the whole 360 vs. PS3 flame wars. If we didn't have both systems the casual gaming market would steamroll over everything.

    Maybe not, I think Playstation Network pretty much the same number as Xbox Live Gold users, if not more. It being free helps a lot with that.

    Also the fact you can have as many PSN IDs as you want helps. I myself have 3. US, EU and Jap and only 1 Xbox Live Gold account.
