| ioi said: You still think PS3 is going to sell more in the next 4 months than Wii in Japan with sales neck-and-neck this week? Just the simple fact that Nintendo formats see larger boosts than Sony formats during the holidays in Japan should be enough, add the fact that Wii has a stronger holiday lineup and I can't see how anyone can logically come to this conclusion! |
Wii does have a stronger lineup for 2009 but I think PS3 has a stronger start for 2010 and that's when I see this race ending. I also think that Wii having a bigger userbase makes it harder for software to move hardware, as plenty of people already have one. PS3 has just been rebranded and I think that makes it the new hot item with a higher sales potential for the holidays since less people own a PS3 at the moment. Zorro sums up my thoughts pretty well actually. I don't think it will last though, I think Wii will remain the dominate console in Japan, PS3 will just have a nice holiday this year as many things have fallen into place for it.
Besides, you said Wii would be outselling PS3 every week in Japan as of two weeks ago, how does them now being neck and neck mean Wii has a better chance than it did before when you expected it to be winning? I'd say PS3 is holding up quite well. Very close race until the end I say.
