They better use the money to create a state of the art console next gen.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

it was a and still is a state of the art console. Notice how Sony and Microsoft are trying to catch up to Nintendo, while Nintendo isn't trying to catch up to anyone?

Anyways, back to the point of 3rd parties. Yes, while there were more than 1 reason to abandon the GC, there have been plenty of reasons to abandon the HD systems. But it wasn't really my point to get into an argument over if they should abandon them or not. The point was that 3rd parties refusing to properly support the #1 console has helped the PS3 survive as long as it has. Had Sony not got so lucky they may have ended up with 22m sales just like the GC.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Yeah, it's been like this for years now (the PS3 hovering above or below this mark depending on the strength of its sales). Frankly, I don't consider it that impressive when you consider that the PS2 sold more in America than the worldwide sales of the Xbox and Gamecube combined, but...whatever. Congratulations to the Wii I guess.

LoL. Kind of puts things in persepective..unless you're an analyst.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I just sent Bruce a message on IM. He says that the fact that the Wii's NA sales havent yet exceeded 360 worldwide proves that the 360 is the ultimate in home entertainment and has a manifest destiny to crush all other home electronics ever made.

It makes perfect sense.

In terms of Japan, I have no clue what is going on, but I do not see any Wii support coming from them. It seems like maybe 2 games release a week over there lol. I know Nintendo gave Tecmo something to do, but right now there is nothing on the horizon.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Something else I find funny for those that bang on about Japan still being relevent for HW sales, 360 has sold more HW in the US than the big 3 combined in Japan.

You mean Big2? MS is far from big in Japan, maybe thats the reason Shore, its still a big gap, but hey
