| atma998 said: What's the most funny here is while PS3 and X360 are pushing their big titles they only manage to sell a little bit better than usual. Now Wii is in a period where it lacks big titles and manage to sell amazingly well. I'm very curious to see how much it can sell during holidays. |
What you forget, of course is that we will never know what PS3's numbers would look like WITHOUT Little Big Planet and Resistance 2, or what 360 would look like without Fable 2 and Gears 2. I'd argue these numbers ARE boosted because of holiday titles. Remember that both consoles have had much lower weeks this year and we're just getting to heavy holiday buying, as we flip the calendar to November.
For that matter, we don't know how big Wii demand could be if there was a Zelda or Mario or Pokemon or something coming right now. We don't ever really know what the boost from a game is, because we never know what the consoles would sell without those games. Comparing to last year at the same time is a guideline, but economics are different, competition is different, prices are different, etc. Like to compare 360 to last year? It's pretty comparable. But last year had a residual Halo 3 boost still and this year it's quite a bit cheaper. Who knows?
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
