1. Wii has shovelware exclusives, or at least exclusives I or many of my peers could care less about.

2. Wii is where the money is to make more money to make great 360 and PS3 games, that is how things are shaping up.

3. Actually poor 3rd party game sales show to me that Wii ONLY has the casual market, and Nintendo devotees.

4. My best friend, my two sisters, my mom, my dad, my sisters friends, etc. DON'T WANT A WII. Not EVERYONE wants one (I rephrase my statement to "many people are eyeballing it").

5. Price drops only go so far and cannot stop critical mass.

6. Again, and this is TRUTH, no one I know (and I know many) bought a PS3 for MGS4. I might consider buying it but MGS4 will sell systems to many who have been holding off purchasing it.

 

1. Quality of the 3rd party games will get much better as they realize that quality games on wii = great sales.

2. Right now wii is where the money is to offset the losses of developing all the PS3 games that have been in the works for the past 2 years that have shitty sales. (Lair, Hevenly Sword, Uncharted)

3. Time will show that wii can support hardcore cames if they are made for the system. Name one quality hardcore that has sold poorly on wii.

4. I bet you I can name a lot more people that aren't interested in PS3: mom, dad, brother, sister, girlfriend, grandma all of my closest friends.

5. DS has already won, now it doesn't even matter how much they sell.

 

By end of 2008:

Wii 48-50 million

Xbox 360 26 million

PS3 18 million

Mario Kart will outsell GTA4 on an single console.

SSBB and SMG will have lifetime sales higher than Halo.

KH3 will be announced for the wii.

Wii will pass 360 in NA by end of March.

I find it extremely amusing that when Wii fans talk about the future it is real correct and flawless. When PS3 fans talk about the future it is stupid, pointless, and a bad thing "I'll play my 360 or Wii games while you wait for MGS4 LOLOLOLOLZ" Your first 3 statements are no different than "When game X comes out for PS3 the domination will begin". Someone needs to silence fanboys.

 

Wii has proven its power, PS3 has not

 Of course the Wii has proven its power, the Gamecube came out along time ago, and the systems are essentially the same thing.  Seriously I am getting sick of arguing with Wii fanboys, I love how you quickly point the finger at me as being some kind of Sony fanboy when I have and play regularly all three systems.  You all need to get a life, the Wii is not the second coming of Christ.

Oh and my predictions (I'm fair)

1. Wii =  28 - 22 Million

2. PS3 = 18 - 16 Million

3. XBox 360 19 - 17 Million

 

 Oh please dude, the Wii could sell just as much as it did this year and beat your predictions, fair, not even close face it Wii is the fastest selling console ever and will sell more than any other system ever has
