For the next few months, PS3 and Wii should be pretty close in Europe and Japan. The HD consoles tend to keep pace more with Wii during the slow periods because they sell to more core gamers, especially more recently when Wii momentum has slowed. But once the bigger guns for Wii come out around the holidays like DKC, Goldeneye, Wii Party, Epic Mickey, etc.. It's going to take off again and carry into Christmas. Wii should sell so much this holiday it'll make up for any lack of sales during these summer months. Just last holiday when everyone was writing it off as declining, it set the record in the US for most consoles sold in a month. So even if PS3 gets near Wii or even starts outselling it, the massive holiday sales it gets will even things out. |
Last year it had a price cut, and it's biggest game ever
DKC, GoldenEye and Epic Mickey wont match NSMB Wii combined. Wii Party, is just another party game... I can't see it selling consoles tbh. Wii Dance on the otherhand, would have. Dance games are becomming big, Party games while decent sellers, are already VASTLY represented on Wii. Even by Nintendo.
But hey, we will see. Gamescom isn't too far away!
