Every week or so, I am going to bring you guys some sales figures that reflect the current trends of the gaming market. I, for one, don’t believe that spitting out sales data and buzz words every chance you get will tell us what the best console out there is. I do believe, however, that they do tell us what the hottest console right now is. With the pending release of Super Smash Bros Brawl, Wii sales are through the fucking roof. Check it out:
1-Mar 23-Feb
Wii 218,189 78,975 +176%
DS 152,759 111,174 +37%
PS3 89,585 94,106 -5%
PSP 76,447 66,770 +14%
Xbox 360 102,622 87,569 +17%
PS2 80,039 64,932 +23%

I really can’t believe the Wii is selling this much still. The thing just prints money. At this rate, you’ll never be able to find one on store shelves
How the hell is it selling well if you can never find one in the stores?! It boggles the fucking mind. Is Nintendo producing them and buying them for themselves?!
what the fuck? seriously, wii owners buy shit games
no offence, I have a wii and the only good games that i have are Zelda and Paper Mario, oh and galaxy
it’s not Wii owners, it’s careless wii owners mainly the types that don’t go online like us and read reviews or the ones that never really play games but enjoy even the crappiest ones. and plus, those budget titles are like super easy birthday or holiday gifts.
yeah I guess…. But the best are that gamestop employees tell them its a great game
even ive done that…
lol, if you’re shopping at gamestop, that may be part of the problem.
I actually worked at gamestop xD soooo yeah, once you get in their shoes you know why they force you to pre-order games lol
Better when it was Babbages and they told me to get the Yoshi Story’s Strat Guide lol.
There is still a babbages around my house XD
I actually prefer it over GS
