Not much changed in two months. DS is down a bit. PSP took a sharp turn upward. Everything else seems to have increased numbers ever so slightly.

For those wondering the total figures, that brings Wii's total to 9.27 million units (Sold, not just shipped), 3.8 million for PS3 (Also sold, rather than shipped) and Xbox 360 at 11.6 million units shipped (Couldn't find an up to date units sold, but it would obviously be less).
Crikey. I don't know how anyone is still trying to argue that Wii is just a fad. At its current pace, it will likely have surpassed 360's current total by next month while being out for less than half the time. That's pretty damn impressive.

I don't enjoy the Wii, because despite what people say, it's just a gimmicky boring turd. I rented it for a couple weeks with Wario Smooth Moves, Wii Sports, Zelda and RE4... I already beat Zelda TP for GC, and I must say, I liked being able to move the camera at will much more than being able to move my wrist to slash my sword. Smooth Moves is kindergarden rubbish, and RE4 plays horribly. I ended up playing Wii Sports for the most of the time..
Wii is okay if you just want to play mini-games on it with a couple friends or something... But the sad truth is it has the depth of a plastic swimming pool. You can't play real games on it. Real games require a real game-pad...
Not to mention the graphical power isn't even much more advanced than the GameCube's... But graphics don't make the game, although they would help. I really don't see what people like about this system. So far, the only person I know irl that really enjoys his Wii is mentally challenged. I don't have any of the next gen consoles... So my opinion isn't biased either.
Not worth the money. Surviving solely on the fact that it's Nintendo's latest heir to the throne.
I know it's not what the fanbois wanna hear, too bad.

happened, the idea that it's "only surviving because it's Nintendo's heir to the throne" is suspect when the GameCube came in behind the XBox of all things and the Wii is currently a stone's throw away from taking the lead this generation.
However, your disdain for games because they are "kindergarten", referring to something as a "turd" without irony, and commenting that only mentally challenged people you know enjoy the Wii suggest more about your maturity than the Wii's problems.
Good day sir!

Call me immature all you want, my points remain valid. There hasn't been very many great games for the Wii that are exclusive non-Nintendo titles. That's boring and leads me to believe that the system is hard to develop for(unless you make a game that are simple mini-game grinders). I don't see how it's doing so well. I rented it whole-heartedly expecting to be amazed. I was thoroughly let down. Maybe I look for too much depth in games, hell, maybe I'm just plain old-fashioned...
Even the Sonic title that came out a while back was reduced to a mini-game in which you guide Sonic with the wii-mote into rings... That's lame.
I don't mean any offense by what I'm saying.. If you really want to be the bigger man, explain to me how the Wii is superior to any other next-gen consoles? All I heard just now is "Back off, I <3 Shigeru Miyamoto".
Different consoles for different people, I suppose. I'll digress by saying that I don't like the 360 either(not a shooter fanatic). I haven't even played the PS3, but I'm sure it's garbage considering the titles.
I'm just sick of everyone considering the Wiii as king shit of the next-gen, when to me, it just feels like a big Nintendo-gimmick(Virtual-boy anyone?).
PS-What's wrong with the word turd? Not classy enough for ya?
Post-post-script- I consider it a gimmick. I've played it, and it really doesn't add THAT much to the experience. Hell, I can elaborate by saying that I actually prefer the standard controller to it. It'd be great if it was way more attentive... But really, it's just another way of pushing buttons when 100 different movements just = 1 animation in game. It's just mainly there to grab that attention of people considering getting a next-gen console. I will say that it does work pretty well when just being used to aim at things, though.
