With all the talk now squarely on the PS3 slim and the recent announced price cut by MS, will the wii finally, after countless weeks at the top, relinquish it's "King of Weekly WorldWide Sales" crown soon after Sept 1. If even for a week. More than a week? Forever?
This is all to do with a personal bet with a mate that wii will do the whole year at no.1.
I am no crystal ball gazer but I think it (and therefore myself) might just loose it to the "new" PS3 slim for a couple weeks at least.
I know talk of PS3 sold out at amazon and whenever else has been allover this site but.......
It's all speculation but hell, that's what half this site is about.
X360 couldn't do it before with massive price cuts. Can PS3 just do it with a "re-launch"?
My prediction (and I really hate doing this) is PS3 for a few weeks with the wii regaining ground after about a month or so.
After that I think it will be a close run thing between all three directly after Halo:ODST.
x360 should see better sales but without anything "new" apart from price it might not be enough to take it to the top before Halo. Can ODST really push HW without Master chief? Depends on who you listen to.
I think x360 next true battle is natal and beyond but that's another topic.
Wii has nothing new (HW or price) at all but just being the wii is enough for it to put up a decent fight.
So from the first full week of september to end of october I think PS3 will rule some weeks with wii second and x360 showing some strong improvement in sales due to Halo. Can Halo:ODST push x360 to the top?
Coming into november and thru december I really don't know where to even begin to speculate.
May the force be wii you.
