I'm gettin' the Wii for X-mas, but the only thing is that their have been reports of stupid people who didn't use the wriststrap on the controler and it flew out of their hands and speared their TV.

QUOTE Nintendo Wii U.S. sales top Sony's PS3: NPD Fri Dec 8, 2006 7:09 PM ET LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Nintendo Co. Ltd. <7974.OS> sold 476,000 units of its new Wii video game console in the United States in November, more than twice the number of PlayStation 3s sold by rival Sony Corp. <6758.T>, as the two consoles debuted mid-month, research group NPD said on Friday. Sony's PS3 sales came in at 197,000. Microsoft Corp. <MSFT.O> sold 511,000 units of its Xbox 360 in November, according to NPD. That console, released just over a year ago, is locked in a three-way battle with the PlayStation 3 and Wii, which were released in mid-November amid speculation over whether Sony can maintain its dominance over the global console market after selling more than 106 million PlayStation 2 units globally. The Japanese electronics maker had said it would ship 400,000 PS3s into the United States for its launch, but there has been broad industry speculation that the company had fallen far short of its initial goal. Nintendo has said it expects to ship 4 million Wiis worldwide by December 31, double the number of PS3s promised by Sony. Late last month, Nintendo said it sold 600,000 Wiis in the first eight days after its November 19 debut. Microsoft, which gets most of its sales from North America, is targeting global Xbox 360 shipments of 10 million by year end. Nintendo's Wii retails for $250; Sony's top-line PS3 retails $600; and Microsoft's Xbox 360 retails for $400. NPD is still calculating historical console sales data. NPD said overall video game-related sales were $1.7 billion in November. Sales of games that run on consoles and portable players were $804 million. Hardware sales were $771 million, fueled by consoles and Nintendo's DS hand-held device, which sold 918,000 units in November. NPD receives data representing approximately two-thirds of the U.S. retail sales and makes projections for the remainder of the market based on a sampling of U.S. consumers. |

We happily replaced our PS2 with another PS2 for Christmas and bought a bunch of new games for it. Our original PS2 broke at the beginning of summer after about 6 years of service.

My daughter got a Wii and we are all having a good time with it. I personally like the bowling aspect of Wii Sports. I’ve been bowling for over 30 years and I’m very impressed with the realistic pin action and the user interaction. Very realistic. (btw – high game in Wii Bowling is 278)!

PS3 here in Brazil (where it's not even released nor do they plan to...) run R$4000,00 (around US$1850.00), while a Wii (which WAS just released here) runs around R$3000,00 (US$1375.00) but that does include support which Sony will not offer to anyone here even if you bought it in the States. XBox 360 was also just released officially in Brazil at R$2999,00 (same price as Wii - US$1375.00), also with actual support.
I don't plan on paying that much for any of them just yet! |
