true, but the fact that the 360 outsold the Wii for September is fairly significant. It shows (at least according to the article) that Microsoft has done well marketing their console to the PC gaming crowd, as most (if not all) of the top selling games mentioned in the article are PC games as well.

Around here people are trying to rid themselves of the wii like no other. I personally could see why, if I had one I'd never use the damn thing

I've had the chance to use the Nintendo Wii at a couple friend's places and it's an absolute blast. I love it! However, there is definitely a substantial market segment of folks who prefer the more standard control interface and more powerful graphics of the other systems. I personally don't think the Wii is taking away business from Microsoft or Sony as much as it's made video gaming much more accessible to folks who weren't interested before. The Xbox 360 and PS3 are aiming at an already-established fanbase, whereas the Wii is developing a new one.

I haven't touched mine in some time. Why? Its because of the games atm. Now when SMG and SSBB come out, I'll put my 360 aside

Even without the sales of “Halo 3” the Xbox 360 portfolio outsold the PS3 portfolio 2:1.

please read my posts.

If you look at the amount of xbox 360 titles, compared to the amount of the ps3 and wii combined, you'll see it has more...better games.

which I'd think meant it's a better console to play games on. XBL is a better online exp, than anything sony and nintendo can match. I've played all three. It's not that hard to see.

your logic is so flawed it is ridiculous...

of course it has more titles! it was out a full year before the PS3 and Wii. If you want a reasonable comparrison compare the number of titles released on xbox from nov 05 to nov 06 and PS3 titles from nov 06- nov-07

metascore is a terrible review database anyway... and grades of video games do not qualify as being better

but if you're going to use grades, i will use gamespot as an example

the games that scored a 90 or better on gamespot:

360

Gears of War 9.6 Nov 7, 2006
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 9.6 Mar 24, 2006
The Orange Box 9.5 Oct 10, 2007

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 9.1 Nov 21, 2006
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords 9.0 Oct 11, 2007
BioShock 9.0 Aug 20, 2007

PS3

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 9.0 Jul 2, 2007
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 9.0 Jun 29, 2007

The red represent titles that came out in the first year of the 360’s release. Out of all of them, two are exclusive titles, and 1 is worth playing (it’s very known that PD0’s grade is inflated across every review). In the first year of the PS3s release, one is an exclusive title and 1 is worth playing. The rest are older titles that cannot be compared to the PS3 since that console was not around during the initial release (i.e. prequels and sports games), or they are available for the PC. I’d say this does not constitute better games for the 360.

Duke isn't Ratchet and Solid Snake the SONY, and Master Chief is M$ mascot. (Though neither are owned by the company.
