"I personally don't put my Wii on it's side"
I don't either, I lay mine flat. I always thought that it would be less stress on the system to keep the disc reading correctly if it was flat, and I don't know many DVD players anymore that are encouraged to stand on their sides...maybe it's just preference though.

@Jonath:
"...internet savvy people who use amazon might prefer black." Yea, I have debated on testing this in stores, but haven't done it yet.

As for how I have my Wii, look at my above comment to Anonymous...
Do you think standing it on its side is more stressful on the system to keep reading it correctly? I really have no idea, it is just my own theory.

@WesFX:
I don't have cable tv, so I don't see the ads; but if they are advertising the Black Wii, then it does make sense it would be selling more.

"Though we know now that the 360 beat the Wii overall in sales for August, I really appreciate the look at same-priced units and their sales."
Thanks, I had all the consoles in one chart at the beginning, even the $350 PS3, but the chart was really crowded and I didn't think people would pay attention but to two or three lines at most.

Thank you all for the comments/feedback AGAIN! I really do appreciate it!

Eh, I'm not really surprised at the sales difference between colors. Black is what is being advertised now, and I guess there's the element of uniqueness since so many millions of people have the white version, why not grab it in a color your friends don't have.

If I remember correctly, the 360 Arcade usually makes up the majority of 360 sales.

I'm surprised about the white Wii not doing as well, but the black Wii is still relatively new, and internet savvy people who use amazon might prefer black.

I have my Wii on its side because it saves me space, but I also prefer it that way. Otherwise it looks like a plain external CD/DVD player. Being angled gives it a stylish look.

I always thought the Black Wii, while stylish, looks too much like the competition, especially for the casual consumer. I personally don't put my Wii on it's side, as I think it looks a little goofy, but family members I've talked to/seen usually do, "because that's how it looks on the
box." So uninformed people with a little extra money could be confused, especially with the price cuts.
