Forums - Sales Discussion - Can Wii pass the PSP WW LTD before the end of 2008? Will it?

easily, it would take some sort of massive sales collapse for it not too.

Hell to the ........ Yawwwwww! It will be close, but Nintendo already know it will be the one on top.

What I wonder is this, considering the Wii is selling better than the Ds WW, even though i's losing to the Ds in Japan at the same point in their time frames, will it sell more?

Most likly not, butwho knows right?



I know that by the end of 08, the Wii sales will be past the PSP sales now.

2xYes



I think it will, since PSP sales will slow down rather soon in Japan, after the MHP2G effect wears off.
And Wii has Wii Fit.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

I don't post much around here, but I think it would be pretty remarkable for the Wii to do in 2 years what the PSP couldn't do in 4, even though there is little overlap between the two.  Wii would obviously also pass the N64 LTD figure in the process.

Nintendo's decision to increase production gives this prediction hope, but I expect Sony to drop the price of the PS2 (to $99), the PSP (to $149 or $129) and perhaps even the PS3 to ($349) this year.  Sony needs to give its shareholders confidence and the PS2 is finally dying.  It could make a big move towards catching up to the 360 with another price drop.  Also, the price drop would give revenue a spike to the "PlayStation family" as Sony likes to spin it.  And they pretty much need to show that the PlayStation brand continues to grow.

Thoughts? What would be greater victory? Nintendo ruling the home console roost, or Sony putting such a big dent in Nintendo's portable monopoly?


Everyone else has already spoken up on your main point so I'll tackle this one.

 

Sony has projected FY2009 sales for the PS3 at 10 million.    This low number combined with a few key statement made by Sony during their FY conference has made it clear they do not plan to cut the price this year.  They are still losing money per PS3 sold so their focus this year ti to achieve profitability, not market share.

 

This will appease shareholders more than actual market share would so it makes sense as acorporate decision to pursue this angle.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

yes, it will.



just to be different I will say no. Sony will..............lol...............sorry, I couldn't say that without laughing. yeah it will.



It'll be at 48 million by end of '08 so the answer is YES!
