@Euphoria: None of the games released that caused the PS3 to raise in sales were games made by Sony. Neither Sony nor Nintendo released any games so far this year that could move hardware. It was 3rd parties with RE5, Yakuza 3, SF4, Musou Orochi Z and FFXIII Demo that helped the PS3. Wii got crapped on by 3rd parties and that added to Nintendo not releasing a single meaningful game since last November made Wii lose a lot of momentum.

If both platforms would have received equal amount of big games, do you think PS3 would still be ahead of the Wii? I don't think so, because PS3 is only 10k units ahead of the Wii this year. And the Wii hasn't received anything worth buying since last year.

I agree though that Wii may never reach the level of sales it had before as momentum and popularity of the system has gone way down, but it's 100% sure that Wii will beat PS3 in sales again once third parties stop taking a dump on it and once Nintendo stops believing that 1 good game can carry sales for over a year.

Why is everyone ragging on the PS3 because of this? What I've seen from this thread so far by people trying to detract from this achievement (however small it may be) is: "The only reason the PS3 outsold the Wii is because good games got released"

Well...isn't that what's SUPPOSED to happen?

 

 

Where am I raging about the PS3? I'm raging about deluded fanboys like you mostly. I already gave the PS3 the credit it deserved for beating the market leader on a weekly basis for the past 10 weeks. Point me at where I ever said the PS3 didn't achieve anything, you never read these kind of threds, you only troll and attack people. If you have read the previous threads BHR made you would have seen I was very critical with Nintendo and also congratulated Sony for each and every week it managed to outsell the Wii. What else do you want? Parties, Nobel Prizes?

And also, that it is supposed to happen, but Sony didn't have anything to offer themselves, they only relied on third party games. Nintendo didn't have anything either, but the difference is that 4 gigantic franchises from 3rd parties got released for the PS3 while the Wii didn't get a single important game in that time. When 3rd parties are that unequal, it's obvious that one party will end up losing. This time it was Nintendo's time to lose.
