Just ran across this nifty chart showing sales of the Wii, XBox 360, and PS3.

Note total Wii sales passing total 360 sales in the previous week or so.

Now here's one aligning launch dates, with two things to note: slope of PS3 sales is almost identical to slope of 360 sales. ie, neither is really selling better, the 360 just had a one year lead. Secondly, slope of Wii is, um, a bit steeper.

Even if the data is off by a few % pts here and there, it's kind of stunning.

I have to admit, I like it because I can put it *down*. I get sucked into episodic games like nobody's business. (Myst? Two days of nothing but, and I was done. The only reason I didn't plow through Lego Star Wars II on a pretty continuous basis was because

ginkgo and I were playing together, and she tended to nod off around 3am... I have no idea why, of course...)

But picking up the Wii for 15-20 minutes, as a break? That's nice.
