X360 America > Xbox WW almost!!

Afeter the 360 Slim boost effect I think till Kinect and Move release we gonna see this situation.

Japan   PS3 >= Wii >>> 360

Europe  PS3 >= 360 >= Wii 

America 360 >> Wii >= PS3

With Kinect, Move and all multplataform blockbusters (MoH, CoD, AC, Fallout...)

Japan PS3 > Wii >> 360

Europe PS3 = 360 >>> Wii

America 360 >> PS3 >>> Wii

I completely agree with this prediction.



But war... war never changes

Ps3 : Slim Release Price Cut HuGe System Sellers Like UnCharted 2 , God of War 3 and FF XIII...

360 : Slim Release NO Price Cut HuGe System Sellers Like Mass Effect 2 , ODST and Forza 3. Helped Moving Some Xbox´s.

Wii : No Slim , No Price Cut and no system sellers already.

Keeps higher than Ps3 ... So remember me why should Nintendo be worried ?


??? 

 

What are you talking about ? 

 

PS3:

Had Pricecut at the same time as Wii and Xbox last year.

Uncharted 2 was not a HUGE Systemseller. You probably dont know that there are just a few games real system sellers. To the surprise of everyone there was a decent increase in sales for one week through Uncharted 2. But a Systemseller moves a huge amount of consoles and gives a bump over a long period like Halo 3 thats a Systemseller. FF13 was a Systemseller only in Japan. GOW 3 was a mediocre Systemseller only in the West. We can say FF13 and GOW 3 were both mediocre systemsellers and can both together barely  be counted as one true Systemseller. 

Xbox360:

Slim Release Recently Old Stock Pricecuts all the time. (people forget it often but Xbox is the only console which recieves so much offers and discounts all the time the same does not count for WIi and PS3 which are stable in price. But 150 Euro Xbox are there all the time. Also ELITE modell had a prciectu of 100 Dollar last year. And this year the upgrade for the Slim (Wifi is practically a pricecut also that you dont have to fear that your BOX will have a RROD is even better then a pricecut and factor number one that Xbox360S is in Europe so succesful.

 

And now I can clearly see that you actually have a completly wrong defenition of the word Systemseller. I would recommend you to do some reasearch in the forum and you will be able to distinguish between Systemsellers and just succesful games. A Systemseller improves the profile of a console and is the MAIN reason for buying this console. In one gen there are just a HANDFUL of true Systemsellers. A minor bump for a week does not justify to call a game a systemseller. WII Fit is a Systemseller and Halo 3 was a Systemseller also Wii Sports and PS3 hasnt had one real systemseller. Some good attempts like MGS4 and GOW 3 also GT5 would have been a huge systemseller (atleast earlier in the PS3 lifespan). So actually we have no real PS3 Systemseller. And to your HUGE Systemsellers ODST Forza 3 and Mass Effect 2. NONE OF THESE WAS A SYSTEMSELLER NOT EVEN CLOSE.

 

 

 

 

Wii: Had also a Pricecut last year like PS3 and they had a true huge Systemseller NSMBWII. And ofcourse I really doubt a SLIM Wii would do anything since its small and light already.  Ofocurse it could be as big as a discman but for what ? the Huge HD consoles actually consume a lot of power and they are huge thats why a slim is a real benefit for the people also that the newer consoles are more quite is a benefit. ANd the Slim Xbox360S and PS3 are still HUGE they could need another redesign in 2 years to make them WII size. But WII is already small quite light reliable and consumes a small amount of power.

 

Wii also had some good releases this year like SMG2 so its not that rosy for Nintendo. But we have to wait for the next months if Nintendo doesnt recover then they have a problem right now they dont have a huge problem. But your description of the 3 Consoles is like Sony did everything and they are selling bad Nintendo did nothing and are selling bad and MS did a little bit and they are selling good. But infact the reality looks different. Your comparision makes no sense since its not true you can compare it that way and forget a ton of significant things.

 

I agree Nintendo has not to worry yet since they are strong in the christmas period and weak in summer like always. But if the trend continous they actually have a problem.

I think a slim arcade will have some immediate effect but I think that most people that care enough about having a "slim" probably would pick up an elite anyway.


Well the slim/kinect bundle will help slim arcade sales

its been confirmed today that GT5 has a weather system, track editor and go karts! seriously i think this is going to be the best selling in the series even beating GT3 sales of 14 million plus!

Summing all up, the conclusion is: The Wii is doomed. Yet again.



Above: still the best game of the year.

WTF are you on about?

Wii had a price cut last year around the same time as PS3.

Uncharted 2 & GOW3 isn't a huge system seller so is Mass effect,ODST and FORZA! heck Uncharted  2 moved more units than FORZA AND ODST!

FF13 is indeed a system seller, MADE ps3 sell truck loads in JAPAN last year.



*360 sales will level slightly higher before xbox slim release which is good.

NA will settle 70k

EU will w8 for next week to see.

Japan 5k or maybe lower.......

*PS3 holding nicely and UP YOY!

*Wii massively down YOY and selling close to PS3!



All so very random. I wonder if this means Nintendo is putting the Wii 2 on the fast track? Could we see Nintendo Wii 2 @ E3 2011? They typically replace their systems as they start to dip downwards in sales. The 3DS replacement came pretty much a year after the DS really started to dip so following that logic then I suspect we may have a reveal on the way in regards to a Wii replacement as well.



Xbox 360 epic sales... I'm kinda glad Wii is taken a blow... they betrayed a lot of Nintendo gamers... turning casual... it makes me cringe just thinking about it. The Wii is a fairly good console because of a nice handful of games but not like it was in SNES and N64 days when they were give us hardcore games but somewhere around the gamecube it turned into a casual gaming console and now I'm no longer a Nintendo boy... Xbox 360 guy now.(sigh)



All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.

I cant understand this line of logic... did Nintendo stopped making the games you like? or why do you say that
