And why is that? Considering it essentially tied sales with PS3 this week, and PS3 has about 35 million less sales than Wii, shouldn't PS3 also be in trouble? |
Wii has been on a constant decline since 2008, while PS3 and 360 have been on the rise since then, I think that's what he means. To the point where Wii has fallen to its worst weekly sales ever and the other two are having their best years yet on the market. If this trend is anything to go by, Wii could be in last place next year.
Wii is in a very delicate situation, with 3DS launching late this year, Nintendo will probably shift a lot of resources towards it, meaning Wii will get even less support than what it got this year. Plus Nintendo also needs to have SW for their next home console, which has to be developed right now, considering the long developing times, even more when it comes to a new console. IMHO 2011 will be Wii's last breath with some major Nintendo support, with 2012-2013 being residual years where it gets the usual 3rd party multiplats/casual games and a few minor games from Nintendo. I totally expect a new home console by them before Q2 2012. Holidays 2011 in Japan.
