What is the 360->PS3 gap now, becasue it's looking like that thing is going to expand to this holiday season...but then again, maybe Kinect will flop along with Halo Reach.

amazing sales for everthing except wii and PSP


really, comparing wii to psp?

 

People!!!, wii is still outselling ps3, it's down yoy, ok, but c'mon!!!!

no one ever comments about ps3, or psp, always wii is doomed.

Last year we were discussing about this exact same thing, do we need it again?

It's starting to get so bad that it's funny.

Wii is doomed, despite already selling more consoles than Nintendo's previously most successful console, the NES. It also has the most software sales, and still outselling the PS3. Yet people talk about it as if it's the 32x.

The 360 slim has made some people a little loopy..

I can't wait for Donkey Kong Country to make these people look foolish, like NSMB Wii did last year.

What i find really funny is that it's only the Wii fanbase who seem say the "doomed" word these days.

And can you please list me the sales of the top 3 DK games please? Then show me the top 3 sales of Mario games, before NSMBWii?

DK isn't as big as Mario, not even near, but it still is a good offer. Combined with Wii Party and the other games released in the holidays, it will lift Wii sales.

Donkey Kong Country 1: 9 million

Donkey Kong Country 2: 5 million

Donkey Kong Country 3: 3 million

*Those numbers are from head, I'm too lazy to check personnaly.

The first one did awesome, but the series entered in decline after that, but I believe DK Returns might give a new breath to the franchise.



Above: still the best game of the year.

wii isn't doomed and 360 slim effect will wear off after some time

 

but you saying donkey king is nsmb is nowhere near reality

and just because wii sold more than nintendo's older sytem doesn't have to do anything with this

Glad to see the Wii declining. It took a while, but just as I thought years ago the Wii would run out of gas before the HD systems and the gap between them would be much closer in the end.

@ Squilliam

I think that's a pretty good point about who may be buying the new 360s.


another good point is who is buying new 360s and no games

Personally I suspect the second hand market has a lot to answer for. If you are buying a console this late in the generation and it is not bundled then the sales pitch almost inevitable slides to the second hand market. Bascially it is very easy to buy lots of titles but have none show up in software sales.

No shit, it's only been recited here in the past few weeks about about a million times....we get it dude. I'm just giving Squilliam props for bringing something new to the discussion because whether you like it or not, I think it's valid.

sure its valid.....................hehe

just bringing out topics because don't have much left is valid
