Recently, I bought a Wii as a birthday present for my son. The reason why I perfer Wii over Xbox 360 or PS3 is that it is more interactive and probably that’s one of the reason why it is still the no.1 gaming console in the world. Go to vgchartz.com for more detail of the sale.
Here are my past 3 blog post on Wii:

You can also use Wii to surf internet. Wii browser is powered by Opera. News has been going around that a new Opera browser for Wii is set to be released in Dec 2008. It will have new buttons, a max of 6 tabs, and Wii Speak ability.
Wii should also improve on the screen resolution as it is now only 800px width by 600px width. Flash should also be upgrade now from current version 7.
As such, I decided create a Wii Portal and went ahead to get a domain. Wii All in One will start off with Wii Flash Games which will be updated daily.
If you have a Wii, try it and let me know.

Bloomberg reports that the Nintendo Wii outsold the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 in the U.S. last month. 666,000 Wii consoles were sold compared to 405,500 for PlayStation 3s and 219,800 for Xbox 360s.
Wii has gained popularity among people who don’t play traditional shooting and racing games. It is designed for easy-to-play games and equipped with a motion-sensitive controller that can be swung like a racquet or sword.
Six of the 10 best-selling games in June were titles made for Nintendo, including “Wii Fit,” which ranked fourth, the company said. The exercise game is sold with a balance board for use in workouts and games that simulate skiing and soccer.

Microsoft has cut the prices of its Xbox 360 console by up to $121.
The Pro version of the console now costs $499 (previously $620), the Elite version costs $699 (previously $799) and the Arcade version costs $399 (previously $459).
The company’s aggressive price-cutting strategy is part of Microsoft’s efforts to make the Xbox 360 “more accessible” and to gain market share.
The Xbox console lacks the coveted Blu-ray high-definition drive that rival console PlayStation 3 touts.
This is not the first time Microsoft has slashed prices of its console. Last August, it reduced the price of the Xbox 360 by $40.
Sony, on the other hand, has increased prices of its PlayStation 3 (PS3) console to $599 from $559 since April 21.
Nintendo has no immediate plans to tweak prices for its Wii console, which retails at $659 and comes bundled with three games.
But Microsoft might want to heed the demands of gamers and release a console with a Blu-ray drive soon if it is to make any headway in the gaming console space.
Mr Eric Chua, an account executive, said: “I don’t mind paying more for the PS3 because it has a Blu-ray drive. It means the games and movies that I buy will be future-proof.”
