http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game... Total Wii games sold as of June 1, 2010: 573 million Total Xbox 360 games sold as of December 2009: 353.8 million Total PlayStation 3 games sold as of June 30, 2010: 315.3 million So yes, the Wii is beating the crap out of the Xbox. Americans don't realize that the Xbox only does well in the US. Europe and Asia are a tough market for Microsoft.

"Europe and Asia are a tough market for Microsoft" Asia is a tough market for Xbox. Europe is just fine.

  They're doing bad in Asia and doing OK in Europe. The competition with the PS3 is hard in Europe, that's why I said "tough". They are number 2 in some countries (like the UK), but overall they're number 3. PS3 in Europe as of August 17, 2010 : 16 million XBox 360 in EMEA (including UK) as of November 13, 2009 : 10 million Sources : http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=260424 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=260424 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Sales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Sales

This is counting games that come with the Wii. The Xbox does not come with one. Xbox users pay to subscribe to Xbox live. Microsoft makes money providing the same service that Sony and Nintendo give away for free, and more people use it.

  >This is counting games that come with the Wii. The Xbox does not come with one. I call B.S. The majority of XBox purchasers buy a bundle. Whether it is the Kung Fu Panda / Lego Indiana Jones (this my Bundle...my XBOX came with 2 games) or the Left 4 Dead 2 Bundle or the Halo: Reach Bundle. Usually if you are buying an XBox console and NOT buying a game, you're buying a replacement XBox because of the Red Ring Of Death. And everyone who trashes Wii games forget about games like Super Mario Galaxy. Games like that can give you three months of solid playing if you want 100% completion. And no worrying about having to rush/grind through the game before another comes out so the online play is empty.
