Forums - Gaming Discussion - I return once more with a.. PREDICTION!

I can only see this being plausible if you mean PS3 and 360 combined. Even that will be closer than you'd think. Times are tough out there for a lot of people, and both Sony and MS are trying to market expensive premium consoles with expensive premium peripherals. I dont see that being able to trump Nintendo's $199 gets you a console and 2 games deal with the added bonus of having a good library of quality titles that are $10 less expensive than Space Marine Shooter 13. :-p

really sense? Do you have any sense?! "GET IT?! HHAS HHAS"

 

ok anyhow... uh well it's certainly plausible that my prediction may flop, but the economy is making a comeback, and HD is taking over, and 3D is hitting the mainstream, what console plays HD MOVIES, 3D MOVIES, and offers an experience similar to the wii?

"turns into selnor"

In fact,

Wii DVD player HD upscale cables if they exist Blu ray player

= $500 and that's not even with half the features the XBOX 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 offer!

PS3 Blu ray player HD upscale cables (yes it brings HDMI now) Move PS EYE camera GAME

= $399

Simple mathematics! XBOX 360 WITH KINECT IS $299! AND THAT OFFERS ONLINE GAMING!

/ selnor

anyhow.. well I don't know besides my useless rant which may anger some of you with sensitivity issues (points finger at the guy with the gap avatar) , I still believe the PS3 and XBOX 360 have a chance at outselling the wii  this holiday, especially since wii sales are till very down from last year, despite being $199 this year compared to $249 last year, and having no new colors, and having wii sports resort added into the equation..

While the ps3 is up despiting being $100 more ( so it's biggest sales aren't even here yet) and the 360 got a steroid boost with the remodel and upoming kinect!

There is no chance. No chance!

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 01st Nov 2009 to 02nd Jan 2010:


Console Wii PS3 X360
Total

Okay, so assuming this is the holiday period? Let's assume the Wii is down 40% (which is insane, recall NPD had Wii over 5 million in the US for those two months in 09 alone, but imagine for your sake), that puts it at ~6.4mil between Nov and Dec.

To catch this, the PS3 would need to be up by about 15% over lasts year's already extremely high, record HD console total (its debut holiday at $300).

The X360 would need to be up 45% over last year. Yeah, that isn't happening

Leo the last time you flat out lied about something and created a tizzy in the forums you got banned for 45 days  


Yea and the last time i was banned before my last one it was for no reason at all.. I wonder who banned me..

 

On topic:

NBA JAM may release on PSN and XBL AS ENHANCED EXPERIENCES. As for wii party, that should sell quite a bit, it's iteraly mariy party with miis from what I've seen. Also PS MOVE is very much a superior to device than anything the wii motion plus can put out.. and if most of the wii's "exclusive" 3rd party games decide to jump ship and become HD/ENHANCED, what's the point of getting a wii then? Move has the oppurtunity to take a huge amount of sales off the wii. Kinect is another one that hasn't even been added into the situation.

As for the "LAST STORY WILL PUSH THE WII WELL AHEAD" that's ridicoulous, if MONSTER HUNTER TRI couldn't do it, that new ip most certainly wont do anything.

We're entirely uncertain on the NBA Jam thing, and downloadable titles have never been hardware movers, and that's if it's the new Jam, and if that Jam isn't coming as a timed exclusive or something.

 

Well ahead wasn't quite right, but Monster Hunter Tri definitely helped in the short run, and Last Story definitely will as well (if a Sakaguchi game could provide solid temporary boosts to 360, it could do much more with Wii, though again only short term).

 

And Move lacks the killer apps to be a threat to the Wii. I tried to say it nicer than that, but there it is. Most of the third party games so far have meant spit as hardware movers, and if PS3 gets those games, it won't help at all. Epic Mickey and NBA Jam are the first two western third party games that look like they could shift hardware, and NBA Jam won't shift PS3's as a downloadable.

this leo-j is killing me with the laughs

PS3 outselling the Wii just got a little brighter there could be a PS3 Move bundle for $349 the HDD size was never confirmed for the $399 bundle

http://www.gamervision.com/users/jonathan_h_cooper/articles/ps3_move_bundle_to_come_in_two_sizes_

http://www.d-gu.com/will-the-4gb-360-bundle-kinect-with-consumers/

but the problem is that even if the thread creator is right i still see him ending up like the last guy that created a HD console will outsell the wii for the holidays thread

He got banned.



Why did he get banned? How is posting against the wii a bannable offense?

Hey leo-j, as each day passes, I see that each country's rating system board is showing that Jam will be coming on the HD consoles. The thing is that I see this game as an excellent $50 purchase on the wii, but do you beleive that this game will actually be released on the HD console's online stores for under $50 (or even $60) for a wii port? I see the online stores more of a place to sell games from smaller development studios to sell at a inexpensive price. To me, I feel that if I want to buy a retail game, I'll just go and buy physical box. The arcade version of Jam that I played in my uncle's dentist office is one of my favorite games, and you have good assumptions to back your predictions, but I dont think  there's a chance in Mexican Jumping beans that Jam on the online stores will take away its popularity or a great deal of sales from the wii version. Just my opinion, grats on getting off the ban. :)
