Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

You use no facts, just your blatant bs. You are just another crap poster and a leo-j knockoff.

LEO-J KNOCKOFF! (yeah, I said it.) We already have to deal with a lot of fanboys saying dumb stuff or bashing another console, but you by far are the WORST. At least Crazzyman uses some facts to support his "theories". (Though most are bs anyways.)

I need to calm down, as this is why I was banned in the 1st place.

OT: The Wii will hit market saturation.... 6-7 years from this moment. It should be over 100mil by then anyways.

Obie, get some sleep.

 

 Dont take everything as fact.

So you guys said " The ps3 is doomed " all of 2007, and you think he's the worst? You've obviously been one sided this whole time then.

Correction,

ONLY IN USA

Thanks for the caps, d00d. Enjoy the PS3's half-decent week of sales following MGS4's release -- it should be a little less than embarassing for a week or two in Japan and the US, eh? Think it will outsell the Wii here in the US? I don't.

don't worry, it will be back to a laughable sub 10k/week in Japan in a month or so.



Wii sales haven't slowed down for almost a year and a half. Of course sales will slow down, there are only so many people who will buy it, but that's true for any product that isn't consumed.



Everyday I'm hustlin'.

 

Wii and DS owner.

I'm not saying the PS3 will pick up the Wii slack in Japan.
But I would be very surprised if at the end of the gen the Wii manages to pass 15 million units sold over there while the PS2 reached 22 million units.

The Japanese market is just shifting heavily from home consoles to portables...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Let them it's keeping me entertained! :D

 



Former something....

@DKHustlin

Well yes.....but the deed will be done by then

lol, yep, by the time Wii hits saturation, this war will have been over, and the Wii-zards will be picking through the bodies.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

You do realize that the spike which caused the PS2 to gain 400,000 units in Japan was the release of a big game (Gran Turismo 3 I believe)? Since that spike the Wii is trending at the same rate as the PS2 even though it has been several months since the release of a Major Wii game in Japan.

The fact of the matter is you have no evidence to support the claim that the Wii can't outsell the PS2 being that it has sold 10% more at the same point in its life ...

The Wii got SSBB X and Mario Kart Wii in Japan this year, I would think those qualify as big games too....

 

Which part of " ... even though it has been several months since the release of a Major Wii " do you not understand?

Mario Kart Wii was release 10 weeks (or roughly 2.5 months) ago, and Super Smash Bros Brawl was released 20 weeks (or roughly 5 months) ago. It is one thing to argue that the Wii has demonstrated a slow down in Japan recently (probably due to lack of high profile software), it is another (much more biased) thing to argue that the Wii will sell less than the PS2 even though it is still trending higher than the PS2 durring a software drought.

Those 500k were 900k a few months ago.

Click weekly sales on that chart of yours and the picture it paints is a little different.

The PS2 picked up speed as time went by, the Wii doesn't seem to pick up speed in Japan...

 

The PS2 sold 1.5 million units through June in it's second year in Japan.

The Wii has sold 1 million units so far there...

The Japanese market is very game-oriented. As games come out, the system sells. Monster Hunter 3 will sell a lot of Wiis, and a lot of other similar games will sell the system as well. The system is accessible and people like it. Sales will take off in Japan again.

Keep in mind that the system is still experiencing more demand than supply.  Especially in the USA.

The Wii had SSBB X and Mario Kart this year in Japan.

What bigger game than that do you expect to launch the sales to a new high ?
