| *Sound Of Rain said: Wii is back at #1 and here to stay! I expect Wii to be #1 for the rest of 2010 despite GT5 debut next week. Black Friday week is huge in America and lets face it PS3 isn't very strong in America and while GT5 debuts in next weeks numbers so does Micheal Jackson and Donkey Kong in America which should make the gap even bigger. I expect Wii>PS3 gap in America to be larger than the PS3>Wii gap in Others and Japan combined next week. uDraw Studio sold 68K in its 1st week and looks to be the Wii's next big hit!(Think Just Dance) Just Dance sold 7K in America its first week and now sold over 2 Million in America alone within 1 year. uDraw will have major legs and should sell very well in America this Holiday and beyond. Also, could uDraw Studio outsell Sports Champions in America lifetime? uDraw Studio opened with 68K while Sports Champions opened with 69K and Wii games tend to sell longer than PS3 games. Anyway, Update: Holiday 2010 sales so far...5 weeks in and halfway done with 5 weeks remaining. #3: PS3__1 Million 552K(1.552 Million) #2: 360__1 Million 599K(1.599 Million) #1: Wii__1 Million 768K(1.768 Million) Wii increases gap this week and should continue to increase as Holiday's go on! With GT5 next week could PS3 surpass 360 in Holiday sales next week? |
yeah,
and people kept saying Kinect will dominate the Wii and PS3 during holidays
LOL
Even though I don't like the Wii and motion controllers in general, I was not foolish enough to count out the Wii
and sure enough, here comes the Wii and this is before Wii's big software
for PS3, the black friday release of GT5 will be huge
The Source predicted over one million PS3 hardware sold in black friday week. In Japan alone, there were over 100k blue GT5 bundles that were sold out in pre-order, and everyone knows how much the Japanese love their different colors of hardware!! Japan alone will be at least 125k in PS3 hardware black friday week
Not only is the 360 not going to beat the Wii during the holidays, it's in danger of coming in 3rd for the consoles
In EMEAA, Kinect did not push the 360 past the PS3 in hardware when it launched, in fact, this week the PS3-360 weekly hardware gap in EMEAA increased, and so the PS3 will be ahead of the 360 until the end of December because of GT5, and remember in Japan, the holiday hardware boosts lasts into the middle of January, like last holiday season
in the end, after the holidays, both Move and Kinect will be seen as fads and Move and Kinect sales will drop like a rock....
which is good, because I hate motion controls
one thing about the strength of Wii hardware....it shows that Move and Kinect are not really affecting Wii hardware, and that people still prefer the Wii over Kinect or Move
