While SMG2 and any other sequel Nintendo releases will have huge software numbers I don't believe it will sell as many consoles as people seem to think. |
All games which sell over 10M copies effect hardware sales. So I doubt that SMG will be any different. Its a big event and a good reason for anyone interested in the Wii to go and buy one. There are a lot of people who haven't got one whom are also interested in getting one.
Why would people hold off buying a PS3 for one middling big release? So everything which has come before that game isn't good enough reason to buy a PS3 like for instance the GOW remasted compilation, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4 etc, etc, etc?
Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
In the way Nintendo will market SMG2, I think it will move hardware.
Here, take some VG$...

What I do expect is, with the big launch of Final Fantasy and God of War in March, that the PS3 will overtake the Wii until Super Mario Galaxy 2 is out. What I do expect too is Nintendo replying fast. New Wii colors, pricecuts, new announcements... They have a tendency to keep their popularity with low marketing and react fast when a console is threatering the Wii. They did it with the pricecut at TGS when the PS3 was the leader of the market.
Do you believe in my theory? |
Absolutely not

...what? Why would it happen with Final Fantasy and God of War when it couldn't happen with the prior PS3 blockbusters?

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
Not a chance, sorry, it won't beat it any week.
Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

It won't be a big system seller, a 'killer app', but sequels can give a boost to momentum, and many HD sequels have shown weekly bumps. The reason it can give momentum is because it can reignite enthusiasm in existing owners, and enthusiasm spreading from current owners to new owners is a major part of 'momentum'. On the opposite side of the coin the fact that so many people have been disappointed with Wii, in 2009 especially, is a major factor in why it lost momentum (there was neither software to excite existing owners nor software to entice new owners from the latter half of 2008 to the middle of 2009).

Well, in Others it's pretty damn close. In Japan too. But yeah, Others is really unpredictable.
I don't think so... ps3 will rock in march and perhaps outsell the wii for a week or two... but after, return at a normal level, I think... for now (even in europe) the fight is between ps3/360, not ps3/wii. The big fight for sony in others is UK... sony owns already germany, france, spain, italy and many countries (only for HD) in this area but UK is a big market! really, wii is out danger overthere... In front, sony have to catch MS before and europe globality and after WW.
