Console Wars: Guess Who Won?

I hate to say I told you so.

But...I told you so.

Nintendo is kicking Sony's butt. Sony said that this would be the year that they would regain ground on the battlefield.

Hate to say it, Sony, but no one wants your sucky system.

According to NPD Group, Nintendo flat-out owned the all-important month of November by selling over 2 million Wiis, better than twice as much as the next closest competitor, Microsoft's Xbox 360 (836,000). And at over 1.5 million DS systems sold, Nintendo tripled the output of Sony's PSP (421,000). While those numbers weren't nearly that high through most of 2008, the general order -- Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony -- held strong throughout.

Admittedly, the games the Wii is pumping out isn't quite up to par with most of Nintendo's stock on older consoles. But that is understandable, considering they are aiming at another audience.

They have a new directive, and it's working out great. Nintendo knows on which side its bread is currently being buttered, and while Microsoft and Sony battle for the hearts and minds of the core gamers, Nintendo is content getting their moms to play, too. And their moms often have a lot more money.

Poor Sony. Better luck next year guys.
