Well I would not be lying if I said I wanted PS3 to reclaim the throne, looks like it will never happen at this rate, maybe it' s a good thing though;)

I think we are rushing ourselves a little bit by trying to make any sort of prediction, when we are not even 1 week into 2010. We have no substantial info for anything after Q1. I think it will be better to wait until January ends to see what are the trends and where have Wii and PS3 stabilized after the Holiday seasons.

Plus line ups are still empty. What I can say so far is that we know the PS3 has a stronger line up for the beginning of the year while the Wii's games everyone is naming are basically assumptions. Very likely assumptions, but not confirmed, so let's just give everyone 1 month to permit devs and 1st parties to regain stability and have a better panorama after the Holiday season, and come back in like a month?

BTW, DQX will not come out in 2010, 2011 out of the question too I think.

I think the fun is actually that we don't have much information past Q1. Besides, it's the beginning of the year, it's the perfect time to make predictions!

It's fun of course, but we are not nostradamus lol. Sometimes one will get lucky, but we need at least basic information to base our guesses on.

Yeah, like I'd be lying if I said I didn't like seeing Nintendo back on the throne, lol... but seriously, the PS3 doesn't need to outsell the Wii for it to see support (See: PSP vs DS). I just hope both consoles continue to do well, as I play on them more than handhelds.

Anyway, it's a bit late but people have been comparing game lineups and such. While PS3's 2010 lineup does look better, it needs to be, because the Wii currently has a much stronger lineup of past games. Look at how the older PS3 and Wii games did in 2009 - notice how the Wii has plenty of older releases in its top 20, while the PS3's is almost made up entirely of new games. The PS3 is driven by new games (that burn out quickly), while many Wiis are still pushed by older titles.

Looking at 2010 software sales, NSMB Wii, Wii Fit Plus, and WSR's total will be close to GT5, Versus, and Yakuza 4 combined. PokePark, Taiko 2 and Mario Kart will match FFXIII's leftovers and many of the smaller PS3 releases. While Software obviously does not directly translate to hardware sales, I just wanted to point out how the Wii's evergreens will be stronger than ever in 2010, whether they sell systems or not (as people point out sequels like Yakuza 4, anyway).

The PS3 is going to need to build up a huge lead in the first half to have any chance to outselling it overall. Although we have little info on each holiday lineup, the Vitality game and Zelda Wii are confirmed for 2010. Unless the PS3 has some huge game we don't know of in the works, the final quarter will belong to the Wii by a longshot.

no not at all, you have anew metroid and a new zelda on the horizon, and just plain no.
we all must come to understand that the Wii is a new kind of animal that appeals to a new crowd, that has no end in sight. i like my Wii because I know what games to look forward to. but even I think that the Wii is exxxxxxagerated. but on the plus side it does set nintendo up for a better future

Yes, by a lot!!!

PS3 in 2010 will have a much better year in terms of software compared to 2009.

Nope, it wont. But we still have to have an idea about the lineup of each to know exactly which console outsells the other and by how much.

in Japan? how so?

HA!
