| kamil said: What's important is that PS3 sales got very close to the Wii not the fact that it is 1k lower or higher. Sure, games have helped PS3 a lot but even now (2 weeks after last big game - Musou Orochi Z, and 3 weeks after last huge one - RE5) PS3 and Wii sales are very close. It used to be 3:1 in favor of Wii for most of this generation. We're also not talking about one-two week bump like after MGS4 hit stores - PS3 managed to match Wii sales for whole quarter so I think that its a high chance that things have changed permanently. I don't think that PS3 sales will hold that close to Wii for entrire year but I also don't think that Wii is going to beat the PS3 by such huge margin as they used to for last 2 years. |
What you are failing to realize is that the Wii stays above the 15k mark without major releases. The PS3 nor the Xbox 360 have done that this gen. All the Wii needs is to have games in the top 20 and it will continue to sell between 15k to 20k. Now if the games are major releases then the Wii will pull big numbers.
Secondly, The PS3 has not been able to pull in big numbers with major releases like MGS4, White Knight Chronicles, Street Fighter 4, or Resident Evil 5. Maybe this trend will end when Final Fantasy XIII is released maybe it will not. I guess we will have to wait and see.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
