It looks as though Nintendo have taken the world by storm with their latest sales figures, the Wii sold 1 million units in just 38 weeks in the UK! This is faster than any other console in history and dwarfs the sales figures of both the XBox 360 and the PS3 put together in the same time frame.

I suppose the irony of the situation is that the Wii console isn't as packed with technology as the Xbox 360 and PS3, however it is the cheaper of the 2 and its a hell of a lot of fun! The console makes game play simple and that's probably something Sony and Microsoft overlooked. Both firms were so set on packing as much technology into their consoles, they probably didn't even realise Nintendo watching them and saying "Hey we don't need lots of technology to make games fun". Nintendo were right and the gamble paid of. It will take a little while but I'm pretty sure Sony and Microsoft will be looking at how they can copy the Wii way of gaming. There are so many games I have on my PS2 that I have bought again when they have been released for the Wii console (such as Splinter Cell) why? Because its so much fun playing games with the Wii remote.
