Wiining streak

Apparently, the Nintendo Wii outsold both its competitors, the Sony Playstation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360, based on statistics from the NPD group announced in March this year. Please note, the “spelling mistake” in the title is deliberate.

This was totally unexpected by gamers, considering that the previous generation Nintendo consoles did badly compared to its competitors. Even the fact that it was released after the Xbox 360 who already had a few million owners the time the Wii came out did not make it fall behind. Instead, it had gone on a Wiining streak (Pun intended, for that matter) and emerged the Winner.

However, all hope is still not lost for both Sony and Microsoft. It is still early and some gamers are still hesistant in purchasing a Next-gen console. Thus, I think Wii’s winning streak will soon end, considering it doesn’t have a Gears of War, Grand Theft Auto IV, Halo 3 or Final Fantasy XIII to support it. Perhaps next year those games stated will push the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 to greater heights.
