I never would have guessed. Apparently the world was missing all these console add-ons with Sony and Microsoft... and the Wii in it's abundance of gimmicky peripherals met those desires.

Ah well, I can't gripe all too much... I contributed to those numbers. Actually I just contributed to Sony and Nintendo. ^_^

Also, here's something that's actually pretty awesome:

I remember you posted in previous topics that you'd like to see Nintendo on top again. And hey, we both did, really.

Nintendo rules.

I'll always support Nintendo. Doesn't Nintendo translate into 'In heaven's hands' in Japanese or something? Hmm..I heard that from somewhere.

Also, I heard that Nintendo is the third largest company in Japan, don't know how true that is, but I do know their going to rule the world! :P

Nintendo - Leave luck to heaven.

That's what I've heard, and it kicks ass.

Gah, I'm a fan of Sony but I've been a long time fan of Nintendo. Gotta support them, they are the ones that put out the memorable games.
