New gen - or just fun games?

The sales figures from the US (NPD via Gamespot) is starting to come in after the pre-holiday launch of Wii and PS3, perhaps giving an indication of how things will fare over here in Europe when the PS3 is set to arrive closer to Easter;

• Wii top of the crop with some 435,503 units
• X360 gained another 294,000 conscripts
• with PS3 snaring in 243,554
• 
  
• BUT - the old king is not all that dead; 299,352 Playstation2 units were sold
  

So, ideas and impressions?
Seems like the Wii fun-factor is gaining ground, combined with a low price tag making it a nice January bargain for the much-needed post-holidays chill out. The "new gen" rather than "next gen" moniker is quite fitting, since the Wii is all about making it easy here and now, building on the connected base from the DS and the willingness to play for fun.
The fact that the PS2 actually out-sold both the 3 and 360 should speak volumes to that same effect. Here in Norway the top selling games are the Sing Star franchise (75 weeks and counting!) and the Buzz Quiz - "casual" games, suitable for everyone regardless of weekly hours spent mashing buttons, and most of all: a key part in having a good time with other people in the same room. Social interaction taken to a new level... we still have a lot of fun introducing new people to Donkey Conga on their first visit - more laughter than rhythm, but a great time for all.
