It's because once you win a race there is no need to keep winning it. When the winner of a race crosses the finish line first, they have won. They can slow down, take a seat, grab some water and watch the runners up who have yet to even cover half as much distance as they have. They need not worry that the person in second place has covered slightly more ground than they have after sitting down and taking a victory drink because as cute as it is they are still just a runner up.

 

I'm writing this in response to several threads that have cropped up in the past few days involving people going gaga over the ps3 outselling the Wii by a couple of thousand for the last couple of weeks in Japan. My response is.... the ps3 is outselling the Wii because the Wii has won in Japan. There are now nearly 'eight million' Wii's in Japan which could be one of the main reasons for the slowdown in Wii sales. Near oversaturation. Japan is a small island and less than 130 million people live there. Assuming we remove infants, toddlers and people too old and infirm or sick to play computer games regularly we only have about 100 million people left. That is roughly one Wii for every twelve people. You really cannot justify cramming that much more into that island when the console is less than three years old and does not even have alternative models or colours.

Sorry, this is not meant to get anyone annoyed, but weekly sales should not be looked at in a vacuum and trends predicted from that. You have to look at what the population already has, because if everyone has something then of course it will sell less, who is there left to sell to?

 

Peace everyone.

Are u insisting the wii is the hare in the hare and the turtle race with that remark?

You do know the story and who one that race

I would like to see wat u'll create during the end of 09 wen FF13 and GT5 and a highly likely PS3 price cut come in Japan and who will be winning wat
