DS never ceases to amaze me. This thing could sell 200 million when it's all said and done, maybe more. I'm curious to see how it sells once 3DS is released.

360 recieved quite a boost from Halo: Reach, pretty much expected. Will recieve another from Kinect. But it'll be interesting to see where it stablises when the dust settles.

PS3 barely inched ahead of Wii despite Move launch and Wii having nothing compelling. I think it's safe to say Sony simply needs more hit games if they want to do well in sales, not hardware addons and the 28th PS3 console skew/bundle.

Wii, meh what can you say? Pretty mediocre sales, but then again it currently has mediocre releases for the past 9 months. I don't really count Metroid Other M, since I knew from day one the game would not more hardware.

Nintendo just has to weather another month or so of these types of sales until Kirby is released, which should fire up sales at least a little bit. But it won't recieve a MAJOR hardware boost until the holiday season kicks in and DKC is released. The console has the potential to reach its 2009 sales with the strong lineup this holiday.

Oh and as for Halo Reach... hot damn! It will be interesting to see how its legs are. It looks like a sweet game. I want to get either this or Black Ops, but I can't decide which.

Do you honestly believe that? There's no NSMBWii/Price cut this year and not even Nintendo believes that's possible.

 

but why wouldn't Nintendo cut the price of the Wii now?

to me it would make total sense for Nintendo to drop the price of the Wii right now...

 

If Nintendo cuts the price of the Wii a few weeks before Kinect launches,

it would just KILL all the momentum Kinect has.....

 

so it would do two things for Nintendo:

 

1. it would boost Wii hardware numbers greatly

 

2. it would destroy the Kinect launch, it would take away all momentum from Kinect

 

If I were Nintendo, I would drop the price of the Wii and soon

I doubt a price cut would do much considering it's already at mass market price.. the console that would benefit the most from a price cut is the console that isn't at mass market price right now($199)
