The sales numbers say otherwise. The Wii has nearly quadruple the sales of the PS3, and it's pretty hard to blame 'limited supply' when I've seen PS3s in at least three different stores in the past week, but I've yet to see a single Wii anywhere (except for the one that the local Gamestop has on display). This seems to be the trend everywhere. Sure, the games may be limited right now, but so are the PS3's. Give it a year and we'll see who's on top. Will the Wii have topped the X360 in sales numbers a year from now? Who knows.

Nintendo use to take a lead in every catagory but now they just have kids games mostly for it.
The 'kids games' argument doesn't really hold water anymore. Some of the 'kids games' are the best ones (ie Loco Roco for the PSP, Viva Pinata for the X360, and any of the Super Monkey Ball games). And you're hearing this from the mouth of someone who's probably got 10 years on you.
I bet the 8 bit NES has better review than the Wii.
Umm...what?
I mean they had to recall the straps that were originally with it because people were throwing the controllers in to their tv and breaking it but there usually are recalls for new systems. 8)
Actually they chose to recall the straps because some people can't understand the concept of 'holding on' to the controller. I'm pretty sure the controller has to leave the hand for the strap to break. :D

BTW, welcome to the forum.

The Wii has been getting some crappy reviews for a Nintendo System. Nintendo use to take a lead in every catagory but now they just have kids games mostly for it. I really liked Mario Kart 64 but the one for the Game Cube was a real dissapointment to me, If they make one for the Wii I hope it better than the game cube one.
