@everyone: Please start learning how to read charts. What they did is estimate year end figures and then assumed linear sales within each year, leaving out seasonal variances. This does not mean they assume the PS3 to start outselling the Wii next week but rather in 2008 in total. |
From the looks of the chart it means they expect the PS3 to outsell the Wii by ~70% in 2008. I think that means they assume the PS3 is going to outsell the Wii by ~70% in 2008. I like Rolstoppable's idea of bundling it with the DS. |
but over the whole year of 2008. as is known, ps3 domination will start with MGS4 and at that point wii will look outdated and stop selling for the rest of the year. |
I sincerely hope that was a joke post. I mean I honestly have to question the intelligence of anyone that says the Wii will start to look dated and the PS3 will take off. The Wii has looked out dated from a graphical standpoint from the beginning. The DS has always looked graphically inferior to the PSP. The vast majority of the gaming public doesn't care about that. The sooner "hardcore" gamers and analyst realize this fact, the sooner they will stop looking like complete and utter buffoons. |
No, of course I was being serious. Please refer to my posting history for a better explanation of my assumptions. @Watchmaker. Looking at the chart again, they assume Wii and PS3 to sell about equal in 2008 (lines in 32008 almost parallel). so no outselling by 70%. |
As I see it, Wii domination began with Wii Sports when everyone used the Wiimote and realized that every other controller was outdated.
Right now the graphics in games on the XBox 360 and PS3 are drastically better than what is available for the Wii and yet it continues to outsell both systems; at the same time every PS3 exlusive game is supposed to lead to PS3 'dominance' and in reality they end up selling far worse than previous versions of the game (and the sales only look good when the game is bundled).
For 14 months I have heard that the PS3's slow sales were about to turn around very soon, yet a 40GB PS3 with a game, 2 controllers and an HDMI cable doesn't sell very well at $400.
