Fastest growing thread on the board I reckon. Hitting Refresh has taken 3 and a bit years to get to 1160 pages, this one's only taken 13 months to hit 500.

A fantastic comedy routine and frankly I always feel gloating is under rated - GLOAT, GLOAT, GLOAT - and very close to GOAT so cant be all bad.

We're all gloating here

I'm pretty sure they're wrong, and that's an ADPCM decoder chip. Nintendo have gone on record about *not* putting a mic on the wiimote for various reasons.

Woohoo, let's celebrate with some Wii related news!

Bloomberg: Wii Outsells PS3 5:1 in Japan

Business site Bloomberg reported today that Wii outsold PlayStation 3 by a wide margin during May, as the DS similarly trounced the PSP.
Bloomberg cited Japanese Famitsu game magazine publisher Enterbrain, which said Nintendo sold 251,794 Wiis during May. The PS3 sold just over 50,000 units. Xbox 360 was a dot in the rear view at 11,082 sold during the entire month.

The DS outsold PSP at the same rate, with Nintendoâ€™s handheld selling 620,670 versus 123,673 for Sonyâ€™s portable.

The gap between PS3 and Wii widened since April in Japan, when the Wii outsold PS3 four-to-one.
