Could it happen again this week? This week PS3 sees only a rerelease, while the Wii has the everyone's recommended selection and a variety of new smaller games. I'd say the Wii comes out on top this week.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Wii should spike up once xenoblade and DQX are released. DQX will do more difference for sure.

New Super Mario Bros Wii momentum won't last forever, at least I expect PS3 to outsell the Wii 8 - 10 times during the year.

Hokuto Musou in terms of sales will probably be the biggest PS3 game of this year, excluding of course Gran Turismo 5. I can easily see it over 400k units in its first week and although the PS3 has an established fanbase for this kind of game the hardware bump will be more than enough to outsell the Wii in that week.

I don't see it happening. 400K LT is more likely.

I wonder when NOJ would announce the release dates for SMG2 ,M:OM, and Xenoblade. It's weird that we get release dates for SMG2 and M:OM for NA and Europe but not in Japan.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

DQX? That game will not be out this year.

Has that been confirmed, it could come out earlier than we thought, but if not it should come in 2011.

It won't come out in 2011 either...

DQIX was released less than a year ago, I would say at least 3 years in between both. 2012 would be a miracle IMO.

hmm very surprised actually

People actually bought PS3's for an RE5 DLC pack?!

or maybe the 250GB had the bigger impact

Don't you know how popular RE is in Japan?

In fact, the arcade mode is the reason why.

We should defintly have it before 2018, the gap could increase all of a suddent between DQ IX, but at least we are getting a DQ game this year.

DQ X won't be released in 2014, that's sure. 2010 seems unlikely and 2011 seems the right year for it...there's a lot of people claiming Wii 2 in 2010, it won't last for another 4 years! Probably Wii 2 will be launched in 2012, so DQ seems probable next year.

Anyway I think Wii wii be slightly over PS3 this week, but some good games are needed (Xenoblade).



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)
