Nintendo Wii sets US sales record

They can have mine back.

I personally think it's great to live an environment where I can go over to soooo many friend's of differenty age/class/ethnicity/gender etc. groups and play some Wii Sports or Mario Kart or Smash Bros. or Resident Evil UC or HotD: OK or Bomberman or Punch Out. Honestly, in that regard it reminds me of the NES era.

I also don't think it's bad that Wii fit has gotten so many people to be more health, fitness, and balance conscious.

I think Nintendo has delivered lots of unique yet accessible games with their new control interface (even if it's not always used), while still maintaining traditional control options where it makes sense too. I enjoy "waggle" when it's properly implemented, but I also think the Wii Remote brought a lot to the table with it's IR sensors. seriously, it doesn't sound funny like "waggle" but gaming blogs tend to overlook it's accuracy as one of the Wii's big contributions.

Finally, as a big fan of both Nintendo's internal studios from EAD toe R&D 1 and 2, to Intelligent Systems, Hal, etc. to Eastern developers and/or smaller third parties like Hudson, Sega, Capcom, Platinum Games, XSeed, Ignition, Vanillaware, Treasure, Way Forward, 2D Boy and High Voltage Software, I'm happy to see a stable of unique games get published that probably wouldn't have had a chance on the 360 and PS3.

Hopefully a taste for these unique titles will be fostered in these 20-million Wii owning households in the US and 30+ million more around the world, so that we can continue to see such a diverse gaming arena.

War has changed...

The Only thing that will slow down the Wii's steam will be the Wii2. Nothing else can do it at this point in the Console Generation.

Congrats! Who would've thought they'd be in the position after the Gamecube in the last generation? Well played Nintendo. I'll see you in hell.

Bound to happen at some point

Doubt Wii Fit Plus is going to move any consoles. By its very nature its only an expansion, so why would that be the tipping point for someone who wasn't convinced by Wii Fit?

Cool nintendo good job.Good market for starfox wii huh miyamoto?

NINTENDO RUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

*Applause*

"Following Nintendo's announcements for New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Wii Fit Plus, we wonder if the console will ever run out of steam"

Not as long as the shovelware keeps flooding the market!

Wow, that's the same record as Ron Jeremy: "Fucking as many people as fast as you can" Award.

I almost crapped my pants laughing! You guys are hilarious. Even console wars make me laugh.
