Another HUGE YoY up for PS3 this week!

PS2, despite down YoY, is the only one up WoW, even in its late years there's no end to its vitality, weren't for the crises that slowed global economy, it would have had a chance, with a further price drop, to meet the Indian and Chinese middle classes' purchase power growing. I could still do it if it survives long enough, but in the current situation the console that has the biggest chances of doing it first is now Wii, should it happen, the doom and gloom talks about it would be buried by unbelievable sales. We'll have to wait and see, though, it's still too early for these things.

People forget one thing

 

Nintendo can easly go down to sub 99 dollars on Wii and still earn more money on Wii than 360 and PS3. The production cost advantage gives Nintendo great room for pricecut.

 

And its only declining not dying.

 

Wii HD on 199 and Wii on 99? Could be great.



Predictions for 2009:

360: 39-42 PS3: 31-34 Wii: 67-70

Future projection

Wii will hit 100 million before christmas 2010 (made december 2008)

NDS Family will have sold and shipped more then PS2 at the end of 2009 (made january 2009)

USA will put Wii back above PS3.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

Wii is doomed part 2.

Depends on if the Madden PS3 bundle gives it a boost or not. Going by NPD Wii was only averaging about 9k per week ahead of the PS3. :edit: Oops, my bad. I forgot Madden is next week.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

yeah that could be great

they might jst make a loss or be even  or even make a profit

 

but what you don't keep in mind is that this isn't wii's last year,they have couple ahaead too so if they jst cut the price now.they will decline again and next time they won't have any price cut to make

a $50 price cut is more likely

lol @ people demeaning Wii YOY percentage

MH3 released last year, this is the week after MH3's release, so its simply obvious Wii was gonna be down a lot YOY this week since MH3's boost lasted a few weeks thanks to bundles and what not.

WOW @ PS3 YOY SALES!

GO PS3!

It's okay, the exact same thing will happen to the PS3 come September.

Two wrong's don't make a right unless your asked to find the false answers in a History exam.

PS3 YOY sales may be laughed at, but there will be tons of people giving the reason, in this thread no-one remembered MH3 came out at that time.

I'm not saying they do make a right, I'm saying that no matter what sense people use... People will laugh at the sales of something if they notice anything negative. Look at what happened in the NPD thread for example.

They will especially laugh at it when all we've had for years on end is elitist "nobody can touch Wii" stuff

However, it doesn't mean you have to be the first one to do it though. What you did just means you are one of those people.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I'll just say: last year everything looked gloom to ps3, now look at it.....

so it looks bad for wii, but......

I suppose you have proof for all that you said?

It's okay to do it to the PSP... So It's also okay to do it to the Wii. Isn't it?
