This is a pretty interesting article from the NY times. I pasted to whole article here, because I want some responses from this.
Nintendo sits atop the home video-game market. Its Wii, though less technologically advanced than Microsoft’s Xbox 360 or Sony’s PlayStation 3, continues to outsell those machines and is now in more than 20 million homes.
