Will the PS3 be able to outsell the Wii in Japan any week this year?

Yes, in more weeks than last year. 706 54.43%
 
Yes, same amount of weeks than last year. 76 5.86%
 
Yes, but less weeks than last year. 161 12.41%
 
Yes, only once. 29 2.24%
 
No, lol? 137 10.56%
 
I like turtles. 188 14.49%
 
Total:1,297

What do you think? Yes, no?

Remember we are entering February and Wii is still riding the wave of NSMBWii, while PS3 is finishing its ride from FFXIII.

I'll give you the entire release schedule up until the end of April (The next 3 months) to let you decide, and if you want, also tell me in which weeks do you believe PS3 will be on top of the Wii.

To be honest, Wii has a very light line up when compared to the PS3, so it will all depend on how well NSMBWii manages to maintain sales.

I believe PS3 will be on top of the Wii during some weeks.

Here's the release schedule:

I will be updating this thread whenever/if the PS3 outsells the Wii, and listing the ones that correctly guessed each week.

I will also keep on updating the release schedules whenever more info becomes available.


PS3 wins the year with 29 weeks vs 23 for the Wii



Proud poster of the 10000th reply at the Official Smash Bros Update Thread.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Around the Network

Yes, but how many times, I don't know



 

mM

Yes, but as for the amount of times, thats uncertain.

When did you get back btw?



Does the Wii even get any games in Japan? If you look at the software releases you'd think it was getting discontinued...



yes only because I know somthing unexpected will happen. Also nintendo needs to bundle Wii sports or Resort in Japan. I think that's causeing the sales slowdown. We yet experanice it in the west



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

possibly Yakuze 4 & then the North Star fit musou woisuto thingy week.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yes it will. How many times is a tough question however.



eh, only a price cut, new model, gt5 or FF13 versus i suppose. I'm not totally convinced about GT, but the other ones are a given if they happen. I don't think it'll happen from those other games, they aren't big at all or already have the userbase on PS3.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Sorry but I really do like turtles.
