Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii American sales pwn PS3 worldwide sales!

I'm sure the PS3 will become the number one selling console again with a price cut. After all the Wii can only sell as much as the Gamecube did right?

Metacritic doesn't lie

 

PS3 has 84 80% games, 10 90% games

Wii has 41 80% games, 8 90% games

 

have fun knowing your console is winning, i'll have fun with my games

For now any way. But have you seen the 09 wii line up? It's only going to get better.

Here's what I don't get about this thread. There's a whole thread with the premise of bashing the PS3. Then, a couple PS3 fans defend it (albeit by attacking the Wii, but the PS3 was attacked first). Then, Wii fans attack PS3 fans mercilessly because one or two people bothered to defend their system.

Who the hell do you guys think you are? It's a serious question. You have all proved my point in the most brutal fashion of just how condescending some of the Nintendo fans on this forum have become.

I bet I could easily find more Nintendo fans in this thread insulting Sony fans than Sony fans actually complaining or being bitter. Many of you need to just grow up. I am sick of having to deal with Wii fans who think they're better than everyone else and HD fans who senselessly bash the Wii.

I reiterate, grow up.

what do you mean this thread attaked the ps3 first?

i merely started this to show how well the wii was doing in contrast to everything else. it was the ps3 fanboys who took it wrong and starting bashing the wii.

 

Well, let's start with the thread title. Instead of saying that the Wii's American sales "passed" the PS3's worldwide sales, or even "flew by" them, you had to say they "pwn" them. That's probably where a lot of the anger came from. I doubt your intention was to bash the system, but to a lot of people, it would seem that way. And it certainly didn't help that Nintendo fans were incredibly rude and insulting to the Sony fans in this thread. To me, the side that resorts to personal attacks because their favorite system was insulted is the much worse side.

 

Don't worry, I'm sure once the Wii NA sales pass the 360's WW sales, we'll have a thread similar to this one as well.




starcraft: "I and every PS3 fanboy alive are waiting for Versus more than FFXIII.
Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

doesn't mean anything.

You're numbers are wrong for both.

PS3 has 75 80% games, and 9 90% games.

Wii has 32 80% games, and 9 90% games.

And thanks I'll have fun from both the consoles.

Have you seen the PS3 2009 lineup?

@MontanaHatchet: It's unfair to say only Sony fans are incapable of spelling and using correct grammar. It comes from all sides, like those zombies in Uncharted.

lol go wii



If I am Sony and I see these numbers, someone in marketing and development is getting fired.

The PS3 isn't doing that bad it just needs to make up lost ground, get a price cut, and come up with a way to make holiday sales better.

Sony needs to shoot for beating Xbox360, come out with a system before the competition, and target a larger audience.

It may be a good idea to change their philosophy as well.

It could happen with a price cut, but there probably won't be one.

 

http://money.cnn.com/2008/12/09/news/economy/job_cuts/

"Sony (SNE), based in Tokyo, on Tuesday announced the most sweeping job-cutting plan of the three companies. Sony said it planned to "reduce headcount" in its electronics business by 8,000 jobs by March 30, 2010. The cuts will be implemented worldwide, the company said, from a total workforce of 160,000, according to a Sept. 30 headcount."

 

If they have to start cutting jobs to save money, I highly doubt they will lower prices on products.
