For the Wiin

[kickaha]

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.

Unrelated to the impressive business totals, this link to a nice video of a Wii used as a controller for Kyma, a high-end audio effects application came across one of my lists today.

I have neither Kyma nor Wii, but I can get a Wii, and I know one person locally with a full Kyma rig....

That doesn't mean it's a good console, it's just cheap. :p
