Nope,not yet.Unless they attain 50% market share,then yes.

Hmm, just tell me, how do you expect Wii to lose this war? Cuase you say there's still a possibility Wii will not win...

Please answer me.


 

Current trends are not a reflection of future trends.What's popular today,isn't necessarily popular tomorrow,and their is still a couple more years left for this current gen.Even longer for Sony and the Playstation 3.
Well the Playstation brand was popular in the late 90's till 2005, so does it means that its their turn now? Like you said, "whats more popular today isnt necessarily popular tomorrow" fits playstation perfectly.

 


 

Yeah that would be the case,if the PS3 wasn't stunted by its pricepoint(s).Even so,the PS3 continues to sell at a fast pace.So it's still popular,even at a $500/$400 pricepoint.Now if the PS3 was at a $300/250 pricepoint,who do you think would sell more;Nintendo or Sony?

Haha, even if they were priced the same the Wii would outsell the PS3. You don't see what's going on do you? We have a console that's SOLD OUT FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS. I don't know what you're thinking, but that has nothing to do with price. It's a phenomenon. Do you seriously believe that all of a sudden no-one will buy a Wii anymore and everyone starts buying PS3's?
Let me tell you a secret.
For people like me, Young Urban Professionals, the price difference between Wii and PS3 is almost nothing. Still somehow all people I know have a Wii. It's the cool gadget to have.
For families with kids $250,- still means a lot of money, so they think very hard about what they buy. Still they spend their valuable money on a Wii.

GTA IV represents the biggest game the PS3 will see in its entire lifetime and it didn't do sh*t for PS3's sales.

I don't have a clue how you can even think that the PS3 will somehow transform into the new PS2. IT's just not going to happen. Right now it barely escapes Gamecube sales.


The fact: Wii mostly sells $500/600 as a bundle, you rarely see it as $250, but still it got supply shortage.

Wii once outsold PS3 8 times even with Xbox 360 combined in Japan.

Wii out sold 3 times PS3 & Xbox 360 combined in America last week.



Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.
