I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything here, but... Has any of the winning consoles had less market share then the Wii?

 

 SNES vs Genesis was evenly split (60/40?), but that was a two console market then. Wii is going up against two HD consoles, and has near 50% of the entire market, the comparison for each competitor individually is already laughable in the Wii's favor. This with a year start behind the 360.

 

And the PS2 went up against 3 more powerful consoles, and one of them released had a one year headstart, and in the end it had like what 80-90% market share?

Also you asked a question about marketshare and I gave you one with the SNES/Genesis. Did you just ignore that just to jump at the fact PS2 destroyed the competition last gen?

 

Yes, yes I did.

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Well around 50ish of them are Wii titles, then have about 14 or so PS3 titles and the remaining shold be DS titles.. I would have more but I lose track of my DS games. V_V

It's cool though, some days I walk into my house and find one behind or under something, then I can get back into the game with renewed spirit.

As for PC though, no - I don't own anything, I haven't played a PC game in almost two years to be honest.

This is kind of a side note: But now that I have my ipod touch, I can see it competeing with he DS lite model but not for games purposes but time share, which works out to the same detriment money wise. But I see it more directly competing with the Lap tops of the world or the mobil office market space, it fits that role very well, amazing how it doesn't seem to suffer the 'identity crisis' that the PS3 does; considering I'm wondering if it's a multifuntion device or a music player then multifunction. Still is a great gadget to have around though.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

While this is completely true and shocking...
If there was no such thing as an Xbox360, I'd have a ps3 as is now over a Wii any day of the week.

As a 360 owner...PS3 becomes somewhat unecessary.

 

as long as you agree with the other way round also.

but on topic, you buy a console for games not sales

 

like no cares about the sales

On here? Anyone who argues that on a site whose purpose is to estimate worldwide videogame and console sales (because NPD and others are now not distributed free), and provides a community site, is missing the point of the site, and the people on it.

PS3 fanboys are clearly upset by this fact.

 

Have you read the thread title??? You expect PS3 fans to be nice and humble about this when the OP litterally put an exclimation mark at the end of a title that has the words "Wii", "pwn", and "PS3" in that order?

If I made a thread titled "PS3 Games reviewed 20%+ better than Wii overall in 08!!", you think Wii fans are just gonna take it all humble and post "ok" remarks in that thread?? I would be willing to bet 100USD that there would be Nintendo fans in that thread in under 10 minutes posting remarks that are negative towards the PS3 side of things. Off topic remarks aswell, such as HW sales.

Sales are based on numbers which can be considered as FACTS. Reviewers give their opinions which cannot be considered as FACTS. Nobody care about Metacritics except a bunch of nerds.

Game reviews=Subjective   Wii dominating in sales against PS3=Fact

Holy shit! You fail to see my point. I'm talking about reactions to threads, not the main topic of the thread but the reactions to that main topic.
