Forums - Sony - Will the Playstation 3 dominate the Wii?

At the rate the PS3 has outsold the Wii over the past couple of years, it would tak 6 years to catch up to the Wii in Japan, and the Wii outsold the PS3 worldwide by a margin of 2 to 1 ... Being that it took a price drop and new SKU to get to these sales levels I think it is fair to say that the PS3 will not dominate the Wii

Oh yeah it will dominate the Wii. And George Bush will solve all the worlds problems!



The 360 won't bomb, the Ps3 won't sell out past 100 million, the Wii will. Over all predictions, NINTENDO IS BACK IN FIRST BITCHES!

The Playstation 3 outsold the Wii in Japan, two weeks in a row. Are these early signs that the Playstation 3 will defeat the Wii? How come the Wii is selling less now, in Japan? How did the Playstation 3 manage to defeat the Wii, for two weeks straight? I congratulate the Playstation 3, but one must ask, "How?"

Too early to tell.  That said, people will recognize the value of a truly great system and the PS3 practically defines what a truly great system is.



Everyone assumes that things will remain the same; that the PS3 will never sell more than it does and that the Wii will continue selling as well as it does or even better. I don't, so I won't be surprised if the PS3 can catch the Wii some day, but it'll hardly be domination in any case!

Are you retarded? How does "price drops, or newly released, highly anticipated games" boosting sales fit in the weird and unexpected category? PSP beat the DS because of FFVII:CC AND the new slim line. PS3 beat the Wii because of a few games AND a new cheaper whiter SKU. My 9 year old cousin could tell you that.

First of all, you need to show some respect to others, especially if they have been in this website, far longer than you. Second of all, you did not understand what I meant. Price drops, and newly released games will boost the sales of consoles, which explains the odd, unexpected, but temporary jumps, in graphs, and charts. Okay? So before calling others "retarded," perhaps you should think twice, and maybe even review your own, mental status, before others. The PSP did not beat the DS. I don't know what you're talking about there. If you meant that it outsold it temporarily, than perhaps you should have added to that sentence, which gives more reason for you not to criticise the posts of others, especially if you have errors in your own. Your 9 year old cousin could not have told me that.

Honestly, stop freaking out because the PS3 beat the wii for 2 weeks. There are 52 weeks. So out of the first year, the PS3 beat the Wii 2 weeks (maybe 3 or 4 if I missed a couple weeks earlier in the year). The Wii still outsold the PS3 at LEAST 45+ weeks. So is the PS3 coming back? Maybe, but if it is, you can't judge it on two weeks. I may have a different opinion if the PS3 sells more for the next 6 months though.

I am not freaking out.



I only made one thread like this... Sheesh...

Fair enough -- but on the other hand you're about the dozenth person to make a thread on this subject lately, so it's beating a dead horse even though you haven't personally held the whip before now.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

This isn't an hierarchal society for christ's sake; it's a message board on some website of negligle importance outside its inner circle of users. You don't gain special rights just beacuse you have more posts than somebody. I'm not sure if the fact that you actually believe that, or the fact that the alleged respect actually matters to you is more pitiful. 

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

I think that the PS3 and 360 are going to be close at the end of this gen, but I have a feeling that the Wii is going to totally dominate.
