Nintendo Update

In the last couple of days, analyst have suggested that the Nintendo Wii has finally outsold the Xbox 360, with over 10.57 million consoles sold since its launch date. Although many of you may be thinking "well that's not so great, the Xbox 360 sells for almost twice what the Wii does". While correct, one must keep in mind that, first of all, the Wii is still in high demand and unable to be found in many stores, and unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo makes money with every Wii sold, while the other gaming companies lose money with each console sold.

Nintendo's Vice President of marketing also made it clear that an upgraded version of the Wii could be possible in the near future, as analyst have suggested that Nintendo may very well lost some of its core gaming audience due to the Wii's dearth of graphical capability that many believe will shorten its life span as the graphics continue to become more dated.
