Forums - Sales Discussion - Poll: Who will win the Console Wars?

define 'Win' please



Around the Network

If by win you mean most profitability = Wii
If by win you mean most marketshare = Wii



I bet you are talking about who will sell the most hardware and you are excluding handhelds, right ???

All depends on alot of things, but looking at that early trends usually continue with console sales I see the Wii as the clear winner of this round, X360 and PS3.... I have no clue at all, X360 is cheaper and has more games but people question its reliability and it´s dead last in Japan. PS3 (still) has a strong brand name but it lacks (exclusive) games (don´t tell me whats comming next year or so, for now it´s to little to late) and has a loong way to go before hitting a consumer friendly price point. My gut tells me the 360 should do better because of price and games but it could go any direction in 08 so if I had to predict I´d say.

Wii>>>>>>>>360>PS3

Don´t crucify because I said the 360 will beat the PS3, there is a lot that can (and will) happen, it´s just the more rational bet for me right now (and we all know the videogame industry is not all about rationallity)

@ tabsina: Websters dictionary defines Winning as: "Not Losing."



 

 

 

It is way too early to say about that, but I will take a shot: TurtleBox Extreme 2 is going to be the winner.



Proud owner of the following gaming devices:

PC, XBox 360, Wii, PS2, DS, PS3

 

"IF" the ps3 lasts longer than 5 years and is 10 year system, Ps3 without the doubt, if not ofcourse the wii its kikin ass :)

eh, i think we've done this poll 5 times now...



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

My guess (worldwide):

3 years from now (PS2 RIP)

1) PS3
2) Wii
.

.
.
3) X360

1 year from now

1) Wii
2) PS3
3) XBox 360



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

Just wondering....who is your supplier?

 

Seriously, because if the PS3 sales doubled and stayed doubled till the end of 2010 it would probably look something like this.

PS3: 45.94 Million

Wii: 60.5 Million

Edit: NM i get it you are assuming PS3 sales will double and wii sales will be cut in half which would look like this...

PS3: 45.94 Million

Wii: 35 Million

To Each Man, Responsibility

1. Wii
2. PS3
3. 360



Third party publishers have already began shifting their resources towards the Wii
The Wii will continue to sell better than the XBox 360 and PS3 combined until mid 2008
By Mid 2008 third party game announcments will outnumber PS3 and XBox 360 game announcments combined
Begining in 2009 XBox 360 and PS3 sales begin to decline while Wii sales increase
Cycle begins again

Essentially, the Wii will win
