He thinks Wii Fit will outsell the GTA franchise don't take him seriously

Ah, I see you are employing the old Ad Hominem attack, the last refuge of one who is unable to address the points themselves

Hey, you're the one who puts up predictions that won't ever come true. Don't get mad if other people point them out.


Pointing them out isn't the problem its when you fail to address the points of the relevant argument, and instead try and use the predictions as an argument

It's not that.

It's that you refused to see the logic of 2 games with over 100k preorders being able to move a lot of consoles in Japan.


Preorders don't equal hardware sales, as you don't preorder hardware when you preorder the game, for all you know the preorders came from PS3 current owners, hence my point there was no support of the argument that these games will move hardware, and I was asking for the reasons why you guys believe it will move hardware

Since you are not good at predicting, at least learn from history. Japan is moved by software, price drop and new colors. The PS3 has always depended on software, big or not. It wont be a big boost, but it will grow somehow.


And maybe it might be, I never said it wouldn't sell, I asked whether it could and asked to see the evidence supporting people's claims, the idea that software, price drops, new colors and Skus move hardware is not new, nor isolated to japan, but plenty of software has been released that didn't move many consoles, because people who bought already owned the consoles, so when people say PS3 will beat the Wii next week, I ask to see what reasoning they are using to support that. Interesting, that people immediately felt as if I was saying it would not, when in fact I was asking for a reason why it would.

 

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)
