I don't get how everyone seems to think PS3 will be this console that will magically sell strong for 10 years despite it selling poorly, while the Wii will plummet down far quicker despite it selling much greater amounts.

Usually a console selling less indicates its life will be shorter and a console selling strongly means it will last longer, it is not the other way around..

Its reality boy.

Every year since coming out, PS3 sales have increases.  This year is already showing increse of sales over previous one, and thats with big shortages though out NA and Europe.   


Considering how abysmal PS3's showing was during the holidays last season and the months following up until the SLim introduction it isn't hard for the PS3 to sell more yoy. Though come september on it will find it quite difficult to match last years numbers. Where Wii is in the opposite spectrum of having a strong momentum last year following the holidays and began slowing around march of last year where Wii will begin to be up yoy if things hold as they are.

But Metalllic is right, it is funny how every Year PS3 is 'poised to dominate' while Wii is always poised to falter, despite always being the dominant player month in and month out and year in and year out. Its baffling.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
