Kinda shows how far the Wii has "fallen."

Granted it's still the fastest selling console ever and passing up the PS2.

Or maybe it has to do with the PS3's rise.

If you own all 3 systems... having Wii at ~50%, and the PS3/360 at ~25% a piece I believe is the best balance you can ask for.

It will be interesting.

Yeah, PS3 rise make some "damage" on Wii sales. It struggles more to outsell both HD consoles. I don't remember the last time that happened...

Well, the Black Wii finally releasing in US and SMG2 should do quite a bit of good for the Wii's sales - Zelda Wii will as well, when it releases (which I don't expect to happen this year), but not right after it's E3 showing

Some weeks it should be able to make it, but I don't think it will consistently outsell PS3 and 360 combined for several month.

If Zelda doesn't launch this year what will be the big launch title for Nintendo this Christmas?

I'd have to guess sometime when it was supply constrained.  I'm really not sure whether it will make it though.

Well, I hope that's not Nintendo's calculation for this title, but rather, that they try to make it the best game it can be at this time by realizing most of their visions they have for the project no matter how much time that needs (of course it should be less than Duke Nuke 'em Forever needs, heh).

I'm pretty sure they will present us something for this Christmas at E3, which right now I don't expect to be Zelda Wii, but it wouldn't be the first time for me being wrong in case it actually does come to stores this year.

Isn't the Wii also getting the Wii Sports resport + M+ pack-in at $200 on the 9th? That ought to boost sales by at least 10%.



Tease.

Not at all, if you remember the "Revolution" was announced in black, and supposedly all this colors are in bound to launch someday.

As for me I was so tired of waiting for the green Wii that I decided to buy a talismoon case and do it by myself.

My Wii looks like this:

After Zelda Wii is anounced (with an official in-game trailer), the hype is gonna be unbearable and no game is gonna top Zelda Wii's anticipation
Zelda > all HD console franchises

What? There are plenty of HD franchises that consistently sell better than Zelda.

plenty?!! Zelda is a 7M selling franchise (last one is at 7M (GC+Wii))

so: Halo 3 ; COD ; GTA IV  .... then well if you don't count the GC, Gears would be on par.... then they is only sub 5M sellers.

If you count Multiplat, I guess you could add AC1 @ 8.5... and that's it! (gutar hero is also a wii franchise so doesn't count).

 

Oh yeah that is plenty.... 3+.5+.5 franchises. (and no GT can't be counted, the only HD iteration of it sold less than TP 3.7M)

now let's compare HD franchises to the titles with Wii in the title.... (which should boost zelda's sales if it does :-p)
