It seems that this "analyst" looked only at opening week sales. Let's see...
OPENING WEEK
360: 709,955
PS3: 426,724
Wii: 159,235 (22.4% of 360 sales; 37.3% of PS3 sales)
WEEK 2
360: 169,679
PS3: 123,323
WII: 69,904 (41.2% of 360 sales; 56.7% of PS3 sales)
WEEK 3
360: 89,502
PS3: 48,101
WII: 40,254 (45.0% of 360 sales; 83.7% of PS3 sales)
See a trend here? The Wii numbers are showing less of a percentage drop-off than the HD console numbers each week. Therefore, hypothesis: The Wii version will continue having great legs, and likely eventually outsell the PS3 version (and maybe the 360 version) based upon higher weekly sales numbers over a long period of time.
I should get paid as much as these lazy-as-hell analysts do...
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
