| rafichamp said: @avinash ya about 65k in NA, but PS3 still outsold it in Japan by about 10k, and PAL barely had a price cut, so I think it will be about equal in PAL. Also another thing to consider is that PS3 sales WENT up this week which was not expected at all. Next week should be a VERY important week. |
First off you don't know how much PS3 and Wii sold in Japan, the Japanese preview is a range, and not always accurate, in fact the two ranges overlap, so for all you know Wii edged out the PS3.
Actually europe did have a drop of 50 euros and UK had a new bundle, easily causing sales to rise, and Wii was selling about 20K less last week before the price cut, so its probably selling a good deal more now.
So no, the gap will likely be larger than 40k, and what with Wii fit Plus releasing in the US today, expect next week to also have the Wii leading
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
