This states the # of Wii consoles bought. Not the amount that were returned or were played for a week and never touched again. I bought my Wii about 6 months ago and have only played it a few times. Its just a novelty where my 360 is a gaming machine. There are no games for it that are fun except sports IMHO.
The sensor is not even good enough to give good enough game play for what you would think.. I'm talking speed detection: theres only Fast - Medium - Slow. Take Wii-Boxing for example - wouldn't you expect hitting harder (thus getting a better workout) would give you better chance at knocking him out? But it doesn't do anything different from just laying lazily on couch and barely moving. The one person I know who plays it more than once a month just uses a gamecube controller cause its no different.
People buy the Wii for the cheap price and novelty. People buy 360 and PS3 for games.
