Wii are winning?

According to a study done by an online traffic metrics website Compete, the Nintendo Wii has more demand than either the Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's XBox360.

Sounds like good news for Nintendo fanboys. XBox360 is no doubt still ahead in terms of number of install base, given that it has a year head start, but Nintendo and Sony are definitely catching up. And if the graph is anything to go by, then Nintendo is surely going to win the Console War III (tm).

I'm eager to see the day when Nintendo will once again rule the console world. What Nintendo could really do to capitalise (besides meeting demand) is to release more sports games (or exercise games). That in itself is a good marketing strategy to get fat people obese individual to buy a Wii and do exercise to lose weight. I mean, it has been proven that playing the Wii can lose weight.

That would really break the "video games are nothing but violent" mode. Maybe Nintendo can tempt one of those nay-sayer to buy one?
