| WiiStation360 said: I see 2010 sales in the same order as 2009 sales. DS > Wii > PS3 > X360 > PSP I don't see anything that will change that. A few comments: 1) Comparing software lineups for the year in January always has it's problems. - Many games for 2010 are still unannounced. ( see L4D2, SMB Wii, Wii Fit +, others last year) - Games get delayed. GoW 3, Mass Effect 2, GT5, Splinter Cell Conviction, Alan Wake were all hyped as 2009 system sellers in January of last year. - Some hyped games turn out to suck. (Haze, Conduit, Too Human) - You never know what exclusive really is not exclusive. (FFXIII, SO4, Bioshock) 2) Very few title in 2010, not matter how great, will give the PS3/360 more than a temporary hardware bump. They might sell hardware, but not at a sustained higher level. (GT5 might be the exception in Europe) 3) Wii Sports was the killer app that sold the Wii motion controller to the masses. They played it once, immediately had fun and wanted to get one for themselves. Until i see the killer app that will attract casual players to Natal/Sony's wand, I am skeptical of their long term appeal to the casual player. 4) All three console makers could slash their price in 2010 if needed. A price cut will most likely come from the 3rd place console first, followed by the others, depending on sales. Remember, everyone swore a $299 PS3 was not possible and the Wii had no reason to have a price drop in January of last year. |
