Wii Is the New US Console Leader

stoolpigeon writes with this snippet from an AFP story carried by Google: "Nintendo said Thursday that its globally popular Wii has become the top-selling video game console in the United States, a crown coveted by rivals Microsoft and Sony. Market-tracking firm NPD Group reports that 666,000 Wii consoles were sold in the United States in June, raising the total sales count in the country to nearly 10.9 million units." I'd rather play board games than video games, but the Wii Fit makes one of these tempting anyhow.

"You don't think _any_ gamer worth his salt wouldn't crave a Playstation after watching someone play Metal Gear Solid 4, or even some good old Warhawk?"

Been a gamer since I got my first NES, and if I wanted to sit and watch hours of cutscenes, I'd rent a movie. And I've never even heard of Warhawk. After googling it, it looks like crap. And even if it did look good, 2 games isn't worth dropping $399 + 2x$59.99 for only TWO games.
