While the WII is supposedly winning the console sales battle, I would be very interested to see the sales for software. Since the wii comes with a game, and it has virtual console games, there could be people who buy the console, but don't invest much on games.

I would be willing to bet that although it has apparently sold more systems, it is far behind in the software sales...which is how companies make their money.

I purchased a wii first. It was cheaper, it had the allure of "oohh I found one", and it had the fun gimmicky controls. Since I purchased an xbox though, I haven't played it hardly at all. The controls can be pretty cool, but requiring people to use them is a minus for me. Sometimes I want to sit on my butt and play a game.

So yeah maybe EA should have bet on the WII, but I don't think they would sell as much software on the wii as they do on the PS/XBOX. Sure Nintendo says their software sells are through the roof, but I would like to see a detailed breakdown of what they are reporting in these figures. If the majority of the sells are virtual console titles, then the numbers are seriously skewed.

I could completely be talking out of my butt, but I don't see any games comming that I'm saying to myself "i can't wait to buy that" on the wii. In fact, I don't have any games on my radar for the wii after I played mario cart for a week rental.
