Hold the wii for a second here...your saying the wii is more popular than the ps2?

PS2 SOLD - around 140 million units

Wii SOLD - 50 million

Work out the maths buddy =/

I'm positive ur the extremely dense one here. I've checked MegaWhatTV's vid with 3 teachers, & 2 friends & they all agree that in this particular instance 'fastest selling' is required when making reference to 50M units but faling to mention the 140M sales of the PS2. Reference to time is needed.

I'm actually a Wii fanboy and own just about every console there has ever been. But publishing innacurate and misleading information about my passion infuriates me. Almost as much as morons like you.

My last comment on this subject, you're going nowhere with this.

It took the PS2 8 months longer than the Wii took to sell 50 million units. The PS2 has been out longer, so we can't directly compare the final sales of both consoles. But with the stats we DO have, the Wii is selling at a faster pace than the PS2 did. Hence, "most popular".

Either you are an extreme Sony fanboy, hate the Wii, or are generally dense. I agree with MegaWhatTV's statement because it is true, and is logical.

Bye.

Wrong. Completely, gramatically, whole heartedly wrong.

Fastest selling = fastest selling.

Stuart Miles incorrectly stated the Wii as the most popular console. It is the 'fastest selling' console. The two are NOT the same.

Go look in a dictionary. You'll see no mention of time or timescale next to the definition.

I've checked out several websites reporting the same news and all of them say 'fastest selling'. Youtube will not let me post the links however.

We're talking about fastest selling console. Sony had this crown, and Nintendo claimed it with the Wii.

Fastest selling = most popular.

I don't know how much more I can dumb this down for you.
