What I find even funnier is that if you go back a week worth of threads I'm pretty sure you can find a post or a comment from someone saying PS3 is not in the same category of the Wii thus they're not competing with each other. However, if PS3 leads for a week or 2 suddenly it does matter!!! Oh the irony!!

 

 That is ironic.

But not surprising. If PS3 would sell as much or better than Wii everybody would all of a sudden start to compare them, even the ones who previously claimed otherwise.

 

One idiot makes a thread claiming Ps3 is owning the Wii and now everyone is lumped with the idiot? Your assumption that everybody is saying that is almost as bad as saying Ps3 is gaining ground in Japan.

 

 Well I don´t think that everybody are of the notion that Wii and PS3 don´t compete with each other. They sure do and I think most agree about this.

I was talking about fanboys who because of their favorite console losing out, claims the competition doesn´t exist.

 I believe those "fanboys" would start comparing PS3 or 360 with Wii if their system of choise would start selling as well or better. So I wasn´t  "lumping" everybody with the OP.

^^Of course they would.



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.

Japan seems to be a shrinking market. The PS3 would have to keep up this pace for a good while before it could hope to pass the Wii. So two weeks of victory after a series of big hardware releases is by no means winning the battle. Though it does make things a bit more exciting.

What is it with Sony fans? A few weeks of sales where Sony outsells Nintendo and it´s suddenly a big fight with Sony in the lead?

Obviously it doesn´t matter that Nintendo has sold far better for a couple of years? Oh well...

 

 

for a couple of years? make that 2 years. Sony kicked Nintendo's ass for 11 years and now when Nitntendo is on the top AFTER 11 years, Nintendo is the GOD???? You nintendo fanboys are really something special

Well if you want to include the past why don't you go back to before the Playstation too,  I don't quite remember who was on top back then... stupid memory... can you help me out?

Listen I am talking about the current "saleswar" and that is between Wii, PS3 and 360. This war goes back about 2 years, what happened before that is not relevant when we make comparisons now between the three. Just like it doesn´t matter that Nintendo won the 2 generations before the 2 latest that Sony won. Do you get what I mean? It´s not relevant to this generation.

 Nintendo dominating the first 2 years of this generation is no small feat. It would probably take PS3 a further couple of year to pass Wii with the current salestrend and that is IF Wii stopped selling completely from now on. Not likely. I should say impossible.

Hence why I think some are overreacting because of PS3 selling better than Wii for the last couple of weeks. Come back and talk if PS3 outsells Wii constantly for the coming 2 years. That´s not likely either in my opinion. But we´ll see I guess.

 Dont tell me you are counting NES generation? Lol Nintendo never had any REAL competition back than.Oh and dont mention PV-1000, Super Cassete Vision and Supergame VG 3000, because all those consoles were failure. Its easy to win a generation when you dont have any good competitors.

 

and i was talking about Nintendo vs. Sony generations. Even if Nintendo win this generation ( probably will) its still going to be 2-1 for Sony.

Wow, way to laugh at a guy and try to shoot him down. Then you guys go and poke fun at the fact that English is obviously not his native language. How very mature. -.-
