| akuma587 said: I would be pissed off if I was a Wii owner more than as an HD console owner. The Wii doing well has been a completely hollow victory. By the time third parties start actually putting out games on the Wii, this generation is going to be almost over. I really don't see what anyone is celebrating about. HD consoles are doing terrible in sales but still getting a lot of games, and the Wii is doing great in sales but is still getting the short end of the stick on games. |
the same could have been said about the DS after 2 years. The Wii has a much better lineup after 2 years than the DS to add.
You see, I was just thinking about something, in the past people were ALWAYS hypeing the next console, 1 year out. I do not see people really clamoring for the next gen, this gen has had a slower adoption rate than expected (Wii does not count since many people buying then were not appart of last gen). I see this gen going 6-7 year before a new console reaches. I was worried MS would rush out another Console again, but now the 360 is doing to well, it will gen more time.
Do you REALLY think MS will launch the next xbox in 2010 to keep up the usually 5 year time space? We have heard nothing yet. 2011 is the soonest MS will launch, Nintendo maybe 2012... the PS4 could be 2012 or 13. either way they wii has plenty off time, and I am starting to feel my patience has paid off (besides I own a PS3, if the wii is in a quality drought Ill get a PS3 game to hold me over, right now the only HD games I am antipating are FF13 and GT5...)
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
