I think the Wii may not win if they don't focus on the hardcore after the release of Smash, Galaxy, Kart, and Metroid. If all hardcore gamers have to look forward to next year is Wii fit, then they may lose...

 


Nintendo hasn't really announced any big games for 2008. I think they will announce them if their Wii sales ever slow down. Why do they need to make huge announcements when they already can't make enough consoles to meet demand? During E3, they only focused on 2007.

Its wayyyy to early to tell if the wii will win, the 360 can just rocket up in sales, or even the ps3 at anytime during the holiday season, basicly it can, and it cant we will see wat happens this holiday season.

Yep... aaaany day now. I'm sure one of them will... rocket up!

It's early, yes, but Wii has something the others don't right now, and that's momentum. It should be easier for them to maintain momentum than for their competitors to build momentum that overtakes the Wii's. The thing I see that's so huge for the Wii is the fact that it's maintained launch level momentum for this long.

I agree that we'll be have a much clearer picture after the holidays, I personally think the Wii will way outsell it's competition over the holiday because of the buzz that surrounds it, mass appeal, games, and price.


 That is exactly my point. What happens if it looses that though? It dont have the power, or really anything else to throw out to get that back. Same thing happend to the N64, and GameCube.

WRONG! N64 and GAMECUBE did not have momentum anywhere NEAR this. The GC launched @ $249, and $50 got taken off the price, only 6 months later. This is because it did not have momentum. It had better graphics than the PS2, but that didn't really matter did it?
