Forums - Sales Discussion - Is Wii's Bubble Bursting? --First Japan, now UK

FilaBrasileiro on 02 July 2009

JP still has MH3 which is the biggest (confirmed) releases on consoles this year and DQX which is the biggest release on consoles this generation (in JP) so they'll be okay.

But darth.. don't you remember which games came out back then last year?

stop using this excuse, the wii used to sell depending on how much Nintendo shipped. Now demand is fading, bad economy , the wii needs games for the first time.

Yeah in America.. not in Europe 2008... geez.. This year Nintendo didn't had that awesome 3 games... so last year it had a big bump.. now it's great with no really 10m+ games...  don't you remember the rumours that Nintendo wasn't supplying America with enough wii's because of the weak dollar.. how quickly people forget...

WSR will turn things around.

@darth - not waffling at all. Try responding to my point properly instead of circumventing it. YoY data has the Wii at an increase of 2.3 mil vs 360 at 1.7 mil units. So in the past year, the charts say that the Wii has outsold the 360 by 600k units.


YOU are not responding to my point.

Is it so difficult

Carl tried to explain to you as well



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Red- In the UK.

Blue- Grand Theft Auto 4, Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4(PS3)

Green- His point is that Wii sales are dying down... in now multiple places, and being outsold (double) by its closest competitor. Just because hes asking if the Wii is starting to die down, dosent make him a troll, get a grip.

RED - not accurate for YoY, see my later post,  Wii sold 2.3 to the 360 1.7 mil, YoY (June 08 to June 09)

Blue - Also addressed, DMC4 did not move consoles much at all, GTA4 kept the systems in the 100s, but now have fallen to the 50's 60s, so the dropoff is approx 50% from what gta4 boost did.

Green - Refer to red, and you'll see that the Wii sales are not slowing down any more so than 360 sales are (wii yoy to xb360 difference at 600k in Wii favor). He's not asking if Wii sales are dying, he's stating it, making it troll bait.

These wii is doomed threads are getting ridiculos. It sells 1000 less units and the Nintendo's world is coming to an end. The last WW sells update showed the wii out sold the PS360 by 20k something units.

Possible, maybe there are only so many soccer moms willing to play with waggle. Casuals are a fickle bunch, they find something new they jump ship.

Cheaper PS3, cheaper 360 both getting gimmick controls. Both have way more better games then wii. Things will be interesting.

Oh, that helps, trying to reflect my post back at me without actually having the conversation about  the point. To re-iterate it, I responded to Carl's post so you can re-read it.
