Didn't source predict around 135K PS3's the week of FF13 release, if he's right, then I could see Wii beating PS3 that week

Yeah. And ioi predicted I think 175k. It is not outside the realm of possibility at all for Wii to outsell PS3 that week.

Lets not get too over the top here now.

If NSMB Wii reverses wii's YOY down trend this has a 20% of a chance of happening, if it doesn't probably 1%

I'm glad I'm on holiday from the 18th, I'll be able to post thanks to my laptop & internet connection in the hotel, but I'm glad I won't have the time to post much as there WILL be FF13 is doomed & FF13 has disappointed threads

yeah more than likely NSMB wii has reversed the trend, actually wii sold badly in dec. 2008 in Japan.  It sold much more in 2007, which is not the pattern in the west.  The wii lost steam at the end of the year last year, this year it is gaining steam at the end.  It is really a different situation.  It is quite conceivable wii could outsell ps3 even on FF13 week.  Wii and PS3 should both be in the 120-175k range.  There won't be a large difference.

Lets see, I haven't seen sufficient evidence to accept that NSMB Wii has reversed the trend

Before NSMB Wii the wii wasn't really gaining steam either.

i haven't seen any evidence that PS3 will sell 175k, so what?

Except proof that PS3 spikes a lot during big game releases

With the wii we have had 1 week spike up due to a big release, nothing indicates a turn in fortunes YOY sales wise in Japan

in the case of 175K, no-one knows

Ps3 did 77K on MGS4 launch week, FF13 should roughly be 2.5 times as big as MGS4 so 77 x 2.5 = 192K

 

All I'm saying is that if NMSB Wii didn't result in wii going up YOY in Europe or America, why will it in Japan?

Last year the Wii sold 141k in the same week FF XIII will release. Last year Wii sold 55k the week NSMB released this year. Considering the Wii has a stronger lineup this year and the fact that Nintendo consoles boost during the holidays, the Wii being higher than the PS3 really wouldn't be that surprising IMO. Even if we take the average of what ioi and Source predict (175k ioi, 135k Source) it ends up at 155k which the Wii can definitely reach. Anyway, we'll see. We'll see if the Wii is up from the same week last year since ToG and such launched.

Exactly. That's all I'm saying as well. Don't know where that counts as "silliness" Demotruk
