Forums - Sales Discussion - Xbox 360 sales decline by .1 percent a week rufly and Wii going up .1%

Gearbox on 07 June 2008
So it seems xBox market share is going down... and down.... AND DOWN.. Wii is taking over the xbox. But doesn't that seem weird when Wii isn't for hardcore gamers? Shouldn't the ps3 be taking over the sales not Wii... Maybe gamers are becoming casual gamers. What does that say about the future..

The Wii appeals to everyone while the 360 appeals to hardcore gamers.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I don't blame you for not remembering though, you're pretty young.

I believe the Trubo Graphx 16 and Neo Geo were more powerful.

 I think Turbo was weaker. Bonks advenutre looks worse than Super Mario World aynway imo. Neo GEO I am positive was more powerful

The Turbo Graphix was much closer to an 8 bit system than 16 bit. The chipset in it was actually just two 8 bit chips rather than one true 16 bit one. The Neo Geo was more powerful, but it never was a serious competitor with the Genesis and SNES, just like the Panasonic whatever and the Philips CD-I and the MSX and the Sega Master System and the Atari Jaguar etc weren't real competitors in their respective generations.....



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

There aren't as much hardcore gamers as people tend to think. It's just that they are far more visible on the Internet and it gives us the incorrect perception that they are more. PS3 is expansive and has a smaller library than the 360 right now so it's why it's doing about the same as 360 in NA.
