Not really WOW sales, the PS3 is really struggling

Wii, free fall

Xbox, maintaining decent sales, after the horrible 2009 holiday and first half of the year Microsoft had, that's great for them

Expect Wii to get crazy sales at the beginning of October, with Wii Party, Kirby, then Just Dance and Donkey Kong Country


Crazy sales?  I really dont expect that at all.   Which of those games is going to bring a NEW audience at massive rates over and above current adoption rates?  Why will those games push hardware?

The same reason GT5 will push PS3s and Halo: Reach will push Xbox 360s... They are huge titles that will get a lot of sales.

DKC could very well sell 10 million, Wii Party could sell 15-20 million. Just Dance will probably move 4-5 million. Kirby will sell 2-3 million. Games that sell these kinds of numbers generally push hardware at least to some extent, this should be common knowledge.

I don't get why everybody raves about Reach and GT5 pushing HD consoles then act like somehow Wii is impervious to hardware movers..

Plus, the holiday season usually favors Nintendo the most, from all the parents buying their kids the kid friendliest console. While I don't expect the crazy sales to come as early as beginning of October, I do expect a ton of crow eating come early November.
