that's right. My son has one, but what does he play and all my neighborhood kids play more? The XBOX 360.

#1 reason - the controllers for the Wii are gimmicky and the pre-teens and teens are getting tired of it.

#2 reason - Onine play. If you don't have it, you are not big player.

Well all I know is the Wii is the better seller of the three and it`s way harder to find at retail.

True, but the games aren't selling as much and that's a true indicator to longevity of the popularity of the console.

if the games don't sell, it's the sign the console may be in trouble in the future

And where did you get that from, your own opinion because YOU don't buy any games for it, lol? I think it's a gimmick and I don't care for it, either, but try mixing in some facts once in a while....

You can throw out #1, #3 and #4 as those are the packins w/ the Wii & 360 and count as software sales. After that, 3 of the top 5 are Wii games. And these are only the U.S. numbers.

I have no interest in the Wii whatsoever but it's outselling everything else and was the toughest X-mas item two years in a row. That's tough to pull off. It's not going anywhere and anyone that thinks so is kidding themselves.

The Wii is kicking @$$ and taking top numbers.
I got my friend at UPS looking out for stores in the area that will be getting a shipment because we both want one.
