| HappySqurriel said: Can I vote 'never'? On a worldwide basis the Wii outsells the XBox 360 and PS3 combined by a margin of 2 to 1 ... Big game releases and price reductions may make the XBox 360 or PS3 pass the Wii in certain regions for a month but there is no way that they will ever pass the Wii in worldwide sales. Most of the claims which state otherwise forget that the Wii has an amazing advantage of (roughly) 200,000 units every month based on Japaneese sales alone; to put that into perspective that is 1/2 to 2/3 the total sales of the PS3 and XBox 360 outside of Japan on most months. |
Nintendo production, or something, is at least limiting sales to 800,000/month. There are over 1million PS3's sitting on shelves in NA. Sony expects to sell them all with the promotions they have going right now. If they sell the 1million they are aiming for in NA, and then they sell 100,000 in europe, and 100,000 in japan. That leaves the PS3 selling 1.2 million this july. Unless the nintendo pulls 400,000 extra Wii consoles out of a magical Wii spawning warehouse, They cant keep up. And Halo3, will definatly push the 360 up to 1-2 million for the month. Once agian, the Wii will still be limited to .8million. Then come the holiday season, the Wii is likely still to be 'chocked' at the .8 million area, and becuase of that, once agian, easy for the PS3/360 to outsell it, not becuase of more demand, but becuase of avalibality.
