link to the estimation of number of xbox 360, ps3 and wii (stupid nic owns both a wii n ps3 then still don;t let me go over n play)
as you all can see if you go to the link above nintendo wii is topping the sale chart with 21 mil console sold =), while xbox 360 follows closely behind with 18 mil console sold but ps3 lagging behind with 9 mil only

this clearly show how nintendo wii console is dominating the market, xbox 360 has been release in nov 2005 one years and a month eariler then the wii and yet the amount sold is 3 mil behind wii. PS3 by sony is also launched around the same time as the wii, however statistic have shown (look above) that it is clearly not as popular as wii

Much of these are due to a distinguishing feature of the wii console (product differentiation/research and development). Unlike the PS3 and Xbox 360, nintendo wii games can be played using a wii remote which is a handheld pointing device and is able to detect movement in three dimensions. ok translation to english : montion sensor technology. for those who still don;t understand all you need to know that you can play your wii games by just waving the wii remote at the screen.

Also Nintendo games are more family based in design, including hit games like mario ssbb, instead of those action first person shooter games that both microsoft and sony produce. This way they will be able to increase their total revenue as they monopolise the market for family oriented games while microsoft and sony have to fight for a bigger market share for the same type of games ( reach out to customer with a different taste and preference)

Sales were sparked by the recent launch of the hit game Super Smash Bros. Brawl -- a Wii exclusive.

Nintendo spends tons of money on research and development to improve on their current games, but its clearly worth it, they are remaking different and better versions of classic hits like all those mario games. Nintendo makes the game play of these new games like the old ones and to make them more attractive they added in more characters and hidden stuff in the game. So even though the gameplay is the same there are a lot of new places to explore and new enemies to fight. For example there were only 12 characters and 9 maps to choose from for the first super smash brothers game. Now the just released super smash brother brawl promised a wide range 35 of characters and 41 maps to choose from and tons of new items to try out!
