It has been out longer, the Wii is the best selling of all.
Replacments do not count as sales #.

& the best gaming device is a PC desktop not the Wii, Xbox or the PS3.
There are cons & pros of the 3 game consoles..
Wii: no HD & power brick problems but has some very fun family games, slot loader drive & there is the little thing of motion gaming is cool
Xbox 360: RRoD on older models & no bluray drive for games but online gaming is great & considering it just has a DVD drive it has good PQ on the games, not as good as PS3 or a PC.
PS3: software problems & some of the 1st units had diode problems & the online gaming could be better ( that should be fixed when they start charging for online game play) but has Bluray for better PQ games, a slot loader for games, & size (slim version).
It is too bad that all 3 do not get together and built the best console ever made; Wii's motion gaming, family games, reliable system, Xbox live, PS3 BD slot loader drive & size, all thrown together would make a very nice console. But that will never happen so we customers have to buy each.
My self I just got a xbox360-S after 1.5-2 years of not having a 360 but the Wii at the new price with all those sports games included is very tempting too get, maybe this winter I will get a Wii.
Well I always hear from all my Microsoft pals how well the 360 sells...don't get me wrong, I broke down and got one. But I am getting tired of hearing how many more have sold than my "Inferior" PS3. My point to them, and I suspect that I am correct, is that a vast majority of those sold are people buying multiple systems. Take my circle for example...10 people who have 360's, and ALL, I mean All of them have bought at least 2...some even 3. So my point is, has Microsoft sold a crap load of these because of 1..faulty hardware making a replacement a must, 2..adding features that should have been in the original product, 3...Fanboys just "needing" to have the newest box? I suspect that the PS3 has ACTUALLY OUTSOLD the 360 if you take all of this into account
