Next year,holiday sales won't be enough to save Wii's ass.

You do realize that Wii only had a sliver of a down turn in year over year sales right?

I think you maybe talking with your heart

Yeah people seem to not notice the bigger picture, mainly being Wii sales while slightly lower have been consistent and in line with other home console front runners at this time in its life mainly that sales trends usually wane a bit, even then it's still tracking higher than the PS2.

PS3 and 360 have picked up some steam because... well quite frankly Sony and Microsoft has done their damnest to sell the console, I've never seen two companies do everything in their power to sell a console like those two have, but typically every push they do lasts a few weeks and then it returns to normal, imagine that?  This year has been their best pushes but I'm really interested in their sales next year since they can't pull the same gambit again.

not really...  360 and PS3 will have their best ever years..

Did I say they sold less?  NO!  In fact I said they picked up steam too! Imagine that!  Really though knock that s**t off, it's just annoying...

I'm sorry?  knock what shit off...  I disagree with you, cant you take that or something?  You said they increase but then return to normal, thats just incorrect.

The "push" that MS and Sony have made over each year has increased the 360 and PS3 sales steadily every year and the Wii market share is decreasing...   so how is that in anyway returning to normal?  perhaps you should define "return to normal".

Either way I dont think that reaction was required.

That reaction is because how you act in every ONE of these threads, someone says something that could ever so slightly be taken as a knock at the 360 and you take offense to it, it gets old quickly my man.

By return to normal I mean the sales start to fall back into line, after these pushes they have started to trend up more over time, but its not like these pushes have made the consoles reach the madhouse levels we saw earlier this gen, mainly I mean how the DS and Wii were sold out for months on end, DS less than Wii of course but it's also easier to manufacture them.

The pushes have done well by making the consoles pick up steam but it's fair to say they didn't start a wild fire where sales started to track significantly higher aka not normal next week will be a big week to see if 360 will top out 2008 even then 2008 wasn't that far ahead of 2009, so yeah, in line with trends, normal haha.

Also what does Wii market share have to do with a damn thing?  That's just trying to make numbers look better AKA spin, but that's just a fallacy, Wii numbers being lower has nothing at all to do with sales trends of other consoles, PS3 has nothing to do with 360 or Wii and 360 has nothing to do with PS3 or Wii.  All of these statements trying to put one console down to give another one a "better light" is just sorta lame, I mean you yourself was doing this (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=3789382) oh yeah people could totally do that with the consoles as well like 77.7m v 46.4m! But it doesn't make statements like that not spin.

If you want to discuss 360 sales trends, do it, if you want to discuss PS3 sales trends, do it, but if all you want to do is spin it to make a console of choice look better, then it's wasting everyones time.
