| binary solo said: It's Wii's turn to have a new release but have HW go down. Couple of weeks ago it was PS3 with 6 new releases and HW went down. Most odd. Gotta be happy with PS3's performance in Japan in 2010, unless you're a Wii fan of course. #1 home console, I do hope it remains in that position for the rest of the year. That'd mean each console could be the winner in one of the regions, tracked. I bet that would be rather unprecedented, even on a single year basis: The year could end with: PS3 - 1st in Japan (this one's going to be tight, though only if GT5 drops this side of January), 360 - 1st in Americas (though it's got a fair bit of ground to make up before it overtakes the Wii so Kinect has its work cut out for it), Wii - 1st in EMEAA (I think this one is in the bag, but you never know). Too bad PS3 only has a shot at being 1st in the smallest region. |
Wii 1st in EMEAA? When did Europe demonstrated any major love for the Wii and it's games? No way in hell even if Gran Turismo 5 releases in the last week of the year. Damn, Wii is third there right now and no major games in the horizon to improve it's situation (it's not like DK was ever big in Europe).
I think it is more doable that Wii could rise to first in Japan with DK but even that is unlikely so PS3 should be first in two regions. It will be third in America for sure though. We'll have an evenly matched holiday season and it's difficult to predict which console will be on top.
