January 2010 NPD Thread. Spoiler alert: Wii sold a bunch.

Still don't see why people like the Wii. But I suppose console sales, no matter which, are good for the gaming world as a whole.

I'd say that depends on which direction you would like to see the industry move in. People will follow the money, period... But then again, Wii isn't really direct competition with the other systems, so I doubt they'd follow suit next gen. We'll see!

True.. we'll see how those work out though. And we'll see if they're implemented into the base system come next generation.

At this point I wouldn't be shocked if it was. (The SIXAXIS controler has motion controls too, but nothing major.)

I've tried to answer this with words time and time again, perhaps its time for a new strategy.

Take your pick.

Etc, etc, etc

As for The Game, I guess once you almost outsold the other two combined, you really don't consider them competition either, I still like em though.
