A notable figure is that New Super Mario Bros. Wii outsold both Call of Duty games on 360/PS3 combined. I've never seen the likes of a console selling almost 4 million systems in a single month and in a single country. Absolutely amazing sales for the Wii!

And the best is yet to come on Wii this year, were getting new Mario, Metroid and Zelda and maybe finally that lightsaber Star Wars game in The Force Unleashed 2.
so with this news is wiiboy unstable or is the 3rd party industy there backing away from the fastest selling system ever and the 1 month record holder
DS second of all time 1 month sales and again fastest ever selling handheld but the 3rd partys DELIBERATELY backing away from DS and wii are stable (yet all operate at loss)
and wiiboy is unstable
ok metal -dave your making so much sense now
YOU WONT POST THIS BECAUSE YOUR TO COWARD TOO
THE INDUSTRY HATES NINTENDO THAT IS NOT MY UNSTABLE MIND AT WORK
ITS AN INDUSTRY FACT

Reggie knocked the ball out of the park with his answer on Wii HD. Check it out.
“But, even more importantly than that, the consumer has voted. Over 26 million consumers have bought a Wii. The consumer is saying, for them, the quality of the visual is not nearly as important as the overall entertainment, the overall value of that experience and that is really what has propelled us. In terms of what the future holds, we’ve gone on record to say the next step for Nintendo in terms of home consoles will not be simply to make it HD, but to add more and more capability and we’ll do that when we totally tapped out all of the experiences for the existing Wii and we are nowhere near doing that yet.”
This is a very good answer. The answer also confirms Nintendo is staying on their disruption path.
Let’s break down the answer. In this answer, Reggie is saying:
1) Consumer behavior shows that graphics are not as relevant to the entertainment experience as they once were.
2) We will never make a Wii HD. The next console will have capabilities other than just HD. The next console will not just be a HD upgrade.
3) We will only make a new console when we are tapped out of making new entertainment experiences with the current console.
4) We are nowhere near tapping out the Wii’s potential.
It is the third and, especially, the fourth points that are very exciting. This is the first time we’ve heard Nintendo say Wii’s potential has not been fully tapped. When Nintendo went their UGC direction, I got an impression that they thought, “Well, that is all we can do with the Wii. Now let us do something completely different!”
If Nintendo were to come out with a new console this year, the Wii audience would not upgrade. Why? It is because they do not feel the Wii’s potential has been tapped yet. No one is going to buy the next ‘new thing’ from Nintendo if they feel Nintendo didn’t flesh out the current system.
If Nintendo does not put out a new system this year (which would be catastrophic if they did) and if Nintendo does not put out User Generated Games, Nintendo has smooth sailing compared to the backlash charged 2009 and 2008.
If Nintendo pursues Motion Plus games, they will really get people excited. From some gamers, any game having motion plus they will look into and may buy it. People are starved for motion plus game content. This is what they bought the Wii to do.
With his answer, Reggie torpedoed the battleship of FUD called “Wii HD”. Nice job.
THE Industry is shrinking nintendo are growing
nintendo is doomed i tell YA!!!!!
this industry needs to grow-up
LOL You should see what they say at PSX Extreme.
No mention at all about the Wii's amazing success.
Ben Dutka (editor of the site) has made it a rule that the Wii doesn't exist.
So in his world, 2009 was indeed the year of the PS3 just as he had predicted it would be.
PSX Extreme: The Fox News of gaming sites (fair and balanced)
Everything is ok Wiiboy, just relax and enjoy the success of the Wii....Nintendo is definitely enjoying it.
Wii HD is nothing more than a pipe dream in the minds of deluded graphic whores. They either want the Wii to fail because going HD in this stage might undermine the console's value, or have the Wii become everything they want.
Nintendo will eventually release a HD-ready console in the next generation, but these sales show that HD was hardly necessary for the consoles success.
