Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Whos gonna sell the most on this Black Friday weekend?

PS3, xbox 360, or the impossible to find Wii? Personally I think the 360 will cause they have been getting so much momentum in sales ever since Halo 3 launched and now its transferred the hype over to casual games like guitar hero3 ,rock band, and scene it.

Since its the U.S the X360, but the ps3 should sell well as well.

That's some momentum. (Crap, got cut off.  It's .04m.) Haha, I'm not gonna strawman you, just thought I'd point that out. I think the connection between Halo 3 and casual games is a bit weak. Generally, it works the opposite way. People who buy consoles for casual games pick up a few more "hardcore" titles and suddenly become interested in them as well. The reverse doesn't make much sense. I think it's pretty clear the Wii is the thing to get this Christmas, and Black Friday sales should demonstrate that. That is, of course, unless a lot of stores do like Bod's and not sell Wiis to avoid unnecessary (although undoubtedly highly amusing) violence and carnage.

The Wii will sell the most, every time stores get them they are instantly gone, how couldn't it sell the most? People are crazy about it and a lot of people still can't find one.




Nintendo still doomed?

The Wii will sell the most because Nintendo will ship a lot of units.

I really don't think Wiis are impossible to find, otherswise we wouldn't be seeing 500k+ Hw sales for the past couple of months.

Talking about rock band, whats up with Best Buy having about 150 Xbox 360 bundles, but not a single PS3 bundle in the whole store. They have a huge stack of 360 bundles, and it says "Xbox 360 Rock Band Bundle" but it looks as if they never even had spot for the PS3 bundle.

I was so damn pissed when i walked in their to get one. They had so many that they had stacks in the back of the store and behind the register. Its the same BS that happened when Guitar Hero III came out. THey had stacks of Wii,PS2, and Xbox but no PS3. How the hell will the game sell if they dont even have it in stock. They could atleast keep a 3-1 ratio between 360 and PS3. F$*k Best Buy.



20k a week is about what mario party sells every week. Those kind of games dont sell front loaded but rather consistently for long periods of time. scene it is selling properly. VP PA is an example of a bomb



I think it's going to actually be the Portable Systems that sell the most. Then the Wii will follow strongly. After that 360... PS3 will bring in good sells but the others will still beat it.



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

 

 

The Wii sold out in 20 minutes everywhere in San Antonio, TX (1.3 million people)
