man GT5 is dying or what?Sony please dont be so stupid and let your biggest exclusive go...

Don't worry, they won't.  It's still to get an official price cut.  At least here in the States.  Plus, it'll get a nice boost this holiday season with the inevitable PS3 price cut, plus a new bundle.

It's ironic that out of all posts in this thread mine seems to be the strangest or most questionable one.

According to VGC data last week alone Nintendo sold over 400.000 game copies more than their next competitor as publisher (EA). A slow summer week and Nintendo sells more than double the amount of self-publsihed software than the world's 2nd most successful console/handheld publisher for that week. Another figure: In June Nintendo sold - according to VGC data - 2.7 million more games as a publisher than the #2 publisher of that month (again EA). These publisher breakdowns are available every week, but never posted in sales threads and not very popular on VGC it seems.


"Nintendo still in the lead by a country mile, as usual. Nothing has changed in the past five years."

That is what I find funny. Not your comments on SW. Nintendo's position right now is far far different than it was 4, 3... Even 2 Years ago.

The Wii JUST had a pricecut. It just had the sequel to a game that sold over 20 Million... And it's only 4,000 units infront of the PS3. The Wii is currently being overtracked. 99% of people here can see it. The Wii is currently, according to our VGChartz numbers, despite being overtracked... Still half a Million units behind the PS3 for the Year. The Wii has lost the Japanese market, hasn't outsold the Wii all Year. The Wii has lost America to the 360. The Wii has lost the EMEAA region to the PS3.

A lot of things have changed.



                            

This year? The way things are going I think we're looking at (no further price cuts):

PS3- 15mil
Wii-14.5mil
360- 12mil

With price cuts

PS3- 16mil
Wii-14mil
360-12.8mil

So, no matter how you look at it, PS3>Wii>360. Handhelds...DS>3DS>PSP>Vita.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So you think the remainder of the year the PS3 is going to outsell the 360 by 2.3 million when it has outsold the 360 (before adjustments) 700K.

And with price cuts you think the PS3 is going to outsell the 360 by 2.5 million.  You think the Wii will have another price cut?

Ah, another one not taking any stock in Microsofts claim for 1st place! You're going to be severly dissappointed come year end when Wii is in 3rd place. Looking at the current sales I doubt Nintendo will make their 13 mill forecast.

No, Wii won't have another price cut. Should've said that...

I reckon the PS3 will sell much better than the 360, and slightly better than the Wii, this holiday.

Nothing to back it up. Just a hunch.

Sorry just dont see it. Price cuts will not be a differentiator since they will both have basically equivalent cuts. Not 1 single difference maker game like last year with GT5 to create any game based spike.  So dont see how PS3 could even come close to have a much better holiday then the 360 and the Wii wont take off like last year come November to close the gap. Those days are over.

I don't see the problem. Why is it bad that in Japan the Wii couldn't outsell the Wii all year?

And what's up with Conegamer's predictions, especially the "with price cuts" one?



Stupid silly mistakes! And as for his prediction, I don't think it's CERTAIN for the order to be the same.

His predictions are always Pro Wii, I wouldn't worry, some people just can't remove their bias from their predictions which makes them bad predictions.
