All this Wii is dying talk, yet PS3 is at the bottom of the home console hardware chart and PSP is at the bottom of the charts period. How come I never see "Sony is dying" anywhere?

Those people actually see PSP and PS3 selling more than Wii DS and 3DS they can’t help it. They see what they want and ignore the truth

And now people are jumping the gun instead of hearing what the price will be in the end. That’s like accusing someone of doing something before they hear what they have to say

 

 

and to those i say look below

What have lifetime totals got to do with consoles dying?

The Wii is the one that is down millions YoY yet again, and heading for an early grave, whilst PS3 and X360 are enjoying their new peak years :-S sure they havn't won the generation but this isn't about that ...

PSP is dying as well though, both handhelds are only shipping 6 mill this year, and Wii is set to ship a few mill under PS3 and X360.

Well sure its selling less and less I mean it can’t sell the same numbers every year. Its dying compared to its previous numbers but not compared to the competition. We could easily say that when the HD twins sold low compared to Wii they were dying as well but thats not true

 

What do you mean by early grave? Even if Nintendo stopped production of Wii it would still have been out for more than 5 years which is the console life time so unless you started gaming when 360 came out you should know better



You're being too black and white. A console that is constantly up YoY through it's life is at no point dying, whatever the competition is doing. Wii being down YoY (3 - 5 mill a year) and now set to do below 10 mill in 2012 (something the HD consoles will be above next year, and have been above for years) along with no SW coming out for it, and Nintendo concentrating on WiiU means yes, the Wii is dying, I'm actually amazed anyone has an argument against it tbh.

Again, Sony and MS have managed to beat the 3rd year peak syndrom, Nintendo havn't, by this generations standards the Wii was capable of living much longer than it will.
