| hsrob said: I think you may have missed the point of his post. If you align launches, as the OP did, the Wii has sold 54.2% of all current gen consoles sold within three years of their RESPECTIVE launches. The stat you provided i.e. the numbers on the front page includes ~3 years of Wii and PS3 sales and ~4 years of 360 sales. |
Thanks for clarifying, surprised he missed the point. I guess it wasn't written clearly, since I was just mirroring what the OP said.
Basically, if one uses the aligned launches to declare that the PS3 will outsell the 360, they must also acknowledge that the Wii will outsell the HD consoles. Sucks, doesn't it?
Someone said "if last month's sales are an indication," but that's a weak argument. The PS3 had its biggest price cut (25% decrease) on top of a hardware revision last month, of course it's selling strong now. It isn't going to stay this way forever (remember last year?).
