wait, wii sold 435K units this year compared to last years 170K?
that cant be right!
why would so many people buy a wii this year, in a year no games are released for it, and its been replaced, over a year where it had games and was not?
PSP and DS are doing better too, even though they both have had no games released for them and again been replaced.
what the?
