why do people think 360 will come in third?

[Lost tears of Kain]

bah stupid vg chartz is KILLING ME

"""But you are ignoring Europe, and it is widely knowed that the xbox don't sell a lot of software there. Just a couple of weeks ago we saw a rumor about most EU contries stopping selling XBOX 360 software because, well, it just doesn't sells. Wii in the other hand is having a lot of quietly success there, with games like Tiger Woods, MySims, Red Steel, Brain training, etc etc etc

Unfortunaly, we don't have Euro software numbers on this site to make better comparisions, however i don't think anyone will argue against the Wii having much better success in europe than the xbox 360.""""

Where the hell is this rumor, besides from sony defense force, if so sony fans would be leading the charge with this rumor, i still dont understand how you got this.



""""While Wii 1st party software has vastly outpaced xbox 360 1st party software. And those 1st party games are exclusive, unlike 360's 3rd party software. You can get the same games with more features AND a cheaper price in the computer, at least for 90% of the games you are talking about.

Madden 08 has been perhaps the most disappointing game sales wise for the Wii, while we have a hell of a lot of games that exceeded expectations. Still, at 200k i'm quite sure than that game returned profits, taking into consideration that the Wii version obviously wasn't EA focus.

Besides, million sellers is another poor way to measure how a console is doing in terms of software success. Sometimes the games you release aren't expected to be million sellers. Even Zack & Wiki is not for the Wii. Is carnival games a million seller ? Is trauma center one ? Is MySims (Wii only) one? No. Are the developers happy with the profits of those games ? Hell yes. Most wii 3rd party games weren't expected to be million sellers, and they are not, however they are doing their job: Making very good profits for their developers.

I don't think developers care that much about having a million seller game as they care about profits. Some games, even at 1million are just breaking even.... sure it looks good to say "wow, my console has 100 million sellers, we are great!" however you must take into consideration that some games are more expensive to develop than others.

In this case the Wii offers the cheapest platform, and the easiest path to reach the bottom line: Make profit.""""

I dont know why you brought 1st party into this

YOur now confirming why they make crap games, because they can make cheap profit, this is proving they will put their best on the 360 and ps3, so they can have a flashy game to show off on how great they are. That and the fact that they sell JUST as well as the sloppy that makes profit, but the good games also get the companys recognized, make profit, and bring in new fans.


"""""That 65m+ prediction sounds good for early 09 for the Wii. """"""

......Have you done the math? At the end of this year/ begining of 08, we all have predicted that that the wii will be at 20 million or so. NOw in one year your telling me the wii will sell 45 MILLION CONSOLES.............. You understand that thats 3 and a half million consoles per month, 750k a week,...........
Your saying every single country will sell 1 million wiis per month?
THat prediction is absolutly rediculas.




..... Tv like success...............................................
