but does it really make a difference considering Nintendo effectively killed of the Wii support?


yes it does. just because nintendo cant support its console after its 3rd or 4th year on the market doesnt downplay what the ps3 is gonna do, it actually makes it mean more as it proofs that sony can support its consoles way better than nintendo


All it proves is Nintendo made their money and moved onto their next console trying to gain another advantage over the competition, poorly might I add.

Saying that Nintendo supports their consoles better than Sony anyway. The problem with Nintendo consoles is 3rd party developers do not want to develop on them. If Sony had the same problem with 3rd parties, It would be struggling right now to crack 30million units.

Since Wii U launched last week, i think all Wii, PS3, 360 became the last generation consoles. Is it a milestone for PS3 to surpass Wii in Europe or for 360 to surpass Wii in USA? No, i don't think so.

Wii printed tons of money and brought high profits to Nintendo in this generation and was the best selling console through 2007 to 2010. Till now, it still has 20million leads worldwide.

To pass it when Wii is close to the end of its life cycle is not a milestone. I really don't know what you guys will be excited for or celebrate for.

"thats means the PS3 would have outsold the Wii by about 3 million units this year in Europe alone. Reducing the gap from 5 million down to around 4 million."

there is something wrong in this sentence


Nana I mean it will outsell it 3 million total this year.

It will outsell it by about a million in others over the next few weeks. reducing the gap by around a million from what it is now.


lol thats obviously not what the sentence says, maybe its better if you change it to make what you are saying more clear.

I will change the 5 million to 7 then :D



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Bit of everyones.

Nintendo with their lack of enticements, and If you been around long enough, you would see the lame excuses some 3rd party devs have used.

The PS3 will be the WW number 1 console this generations.

~115 million lifetime.

shhhhhhhhh please dont. You will get stoned to death

I wiil break down by region

Europe: Like you pointed out the PS3 is ready to outsell Wii in the next year (maybe 2014) but that's a future fact... only the end of the world could stop that to happen.

My lifetime prediction (2016): 47 million

Japan: PS3 needs a little less than 4 million to outsell Wii here but the sales are slow for both consoles... even so the PS3 is outselling it by 10-15k every week... I guess there is no room to PS3 surpass Wii but the end it's be close.

My lifetime prediction (2016): 13 million

US: 360 is the big win here, it will outsell the Wii in the next year for sure... I can't see the PS3 toping the 40 million Wii have today but the gap is to decrease fast.

 My lifetime prediction (2016): 33 million

US + JP + EU (2016): 94 million

Plus 20% others sales (LA, Canada, Mexico, Asia, etc)

WW (2016): 112 million

The 115 million is because I expect to PS3 continue to sell after the end of this gen in emergent markets like PS2 did... so 3 million is to be made by these terms after 2016.

Well for the history I thing that make a difference... in 2030 if a gamer look at the sales of the 7th generation will think the PS3 is the bigest winner.

The fact of the matter is that Nintendo could not keep the Wii's sales sustained. Had the Wii kept on selling well Nintendo never would have brought out the Wii-U so soon. This gen is over when the consumers say so, not the hardware companies. 

Thats like me bringing out a product and selling 40 million in 2 years then sales drop off. Then my friend brings out a product will sells consistantly over a long period of time and does 40 million in 4 years and passes the leader the year after. The only way i will agree that nintendo struck gold is if they can make the Wii-U explode like the Wii did. 

Wii did well and sold many consoles in a short period of time, but you need a product that going to sell in years to come. The PS2 still sells to this day.

I don't think the ps3 will have the same legs as the PS2. Support for the PS3 will drop significantly by 2014 when the next gen starts to settling into the market. The Wii will be the winner of the current gen. Could be wrong though.



Bet with ninjablade:

Ninjablade wins if the next 5 multiplat on the wii u are inferior to the 360 version.

I win if one of the 5 mulitplats are on par or superior on the Wii U.
