    Fine. The Wii is great. I concede that the Wii is the best platform out there because a) the 360 is too old and b) the PSP and PS3 have no good games. The NPD numbers:

    Nintendo Wii: 721,000 units
    Xbox 360: 262,000
    PlayStation 3: 257,000
    PlayStation 2: 216,000

    This month the Wii was given a big Super Smash Brothers boost, which it definitely won’t hold next month once GTA IV hits stores. But feel free to pit Bowser vs. Princess Peach and run around the galaxy as a fat, mustachioed plumber, thirty year olds everywhere. It doesn’t look infantile or creepy at all.
