Excellent 360 sales.

PS3 keeping a steady UP of 30%

Wii is down, hugely... Again. Despite a pricecut within a year and it's biggest game.

Why is the Wii DOWN YoY with a Pricecut and it's biggest system seller (NSMB Wii)?


Why is that even a question? New Super Mario Bros Wii launched almost 9 months ago. In the meantime PS3 has had Baynonetta, Darksiders, MAG, Danté's Inferno, Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII, God of War 3, Super Street Fighter IV, Red Dead Redemption and Modnation Racers*. In the same period Wii has had Super Mario Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Sin and Punishment 2* and Red Steel 2*. It's so puzzling....

* flop

So basically... What you are saying is... Wii has no games (compared to PS3)?

I don't get why everybody here acts like PS3 has all these amazing games.. It has very few that look interesting to me.

Since NSMB Wii, Wii has had No More Heroes 2, Endless Ocean 2, Trauma Team, Mario Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Sin and Punishment 2, Red Steel 2, Arc Rise Fantasia. I wouldn't call that "no games." Problem is, most of these games just aren't system sellers. This coupled with the slow summer months account for the relatively stagnant Wii sales.

However, DKC Returns, Wii Party, Epic Mickey, Goldeneye, and Kirby DO have the potential to be system sellers, which is why I think Wii sales will ignite again around late September- October when the holiday season starts to get going.

Because opinions vary. I could say the Wii has a single game that interests me. Twilight Princess. While the PS3 has hundreds of games that interest me. Wouldn't make it a fact though...

And the same could be said of the PS3. It's had a bunch of games, but not that many could be considered system sellers. Bayonetta? Darksiders? MAG? Dante's Inferno? Bioshock 2? SSFF4? Mod Nation?... System sellers?

As for the Wii's system sellers you listed.

DKC Returns, i can see selling some. Yes.
WIi Party. No. There are hundreds of party games on Wii. I can't see one more being a system seller.
Epic Mickey... Possibly.
GoldenEye. I doubt it... Although it could be another one of those nostalgia things.
Kirby... Again, i doubt it. Has Kirby ever been a huge seller? Not too sure on this...
