Forums - Sony Discussion - Will the Playstation 3 dominate the Wii?

The Playstation 3 outsold the Wii in Japan, two weeks in a row. Are these early signs that the Playstation 3 will defeat the Wii? How come the Wii is selling less now, in Japan? How did the Playstation 3 manage to defeat the Wii, for two weeks straight? I congratulate the Playstation 3, but one must ask, "How?"

price drop thats all there is to say

price drop and new sku



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

True, the Wii did outsell the Playstation 3 this week, but they are pretty much at par now, on a week-to-week basis. The Playstation 3 seems to be catching up to the competition. It owns over 18% of the total market share. I remember, not too long ago, when it owned just under 17%, and it stayed there for a very long time. Now, there are almost 6.5 million Playstation 3 consoles sold, when just a little while ago, there was around 5 million. The Playstation 3 is really booming!

 Yeah the PS3 market share is increasing, but the Wii's market share is increasing much faster.

No, these are signs that there was a $100 price drop. As with all surges, they will go back down whereas the Wii got the sales with almost no promotion other than being available.
