I'm already waiting to see how the bilgemerk and its apes will
rationalize this.

I will only make the following note on this:

The article notes that sales *this year* favor the 360 over the Wii, but
total units sold is a different story:

<begin article quote>

The Nintendo Wii follows with a total of 5.4 million units sold, up 2.3
million from June 2009.

The Xbox 360 has now reached a 3.9 million UK installed based, which is
up 1.7 million from last year. The PlayStation 3 sits at 2.2 million (up
900,000) with the PSP on 3.3 million (up only 500,000).

<end article quote>

So that means the Wii has a user base almost double that of the 360.
The article indicates total sales are such that the 360 isn't about to
overtake the Wii this year.

I would also add that the reduced price of the 360 has definitely
helped, which has much to do with the PS3 still underperforming.
