Sorry fella but thats a huge misnomer. If the wii hadnt happened, bless its little cotton socks, then the forces on the market would not be as they are now. I agree that nintendo are dominating at the moment with out the all concering wii the other consoles would be getting far greater sales, buyer enthusiasm, press coverage or even whatever than they are. Regards p.s. Nintendo hasnt saved the industry, its just the latest to make a huge profit from it. p.p.s. good on them though |
You're right console prices wouldn't have been cut as fast to try and catch up to the Wii and sales of the PS3 and 360 would be lower then they are now, and software sales would be lower as well.
So yeah, still saving, not only by kepping sales high but also by forcing prices down
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
