amazing sales for everthing except wii and PSP


really, comparing wii to psp?

 

People!!!, wii is still outselling ps3, it's down yoy, ok, but c'mon!!!!

no one ever comments about ps3, or psp, always wii is doomed.

Last year we were discussing about this exact same thing, do we need it again?

It's starting to get so bad that it's funny.

Wii is doomed, despite already selling more consoles than Nintendo's previously most successful console, the NES. It also has the most software sales, and still outselling the PS3. Yet people talk about it as if it's the 32x.

The 360 slim has made some people a little loopy..

I can't wait for Donkey Kong Country to make these people look foolish, like NSMB Wii did last year.

What i find really funny is that it's only the Wii fanbase who seem say the "doomed" word these days.

And can you please list me the sales of the top 3 DK games please? Then show me the top 3 sales of Mario games, before NSMBWii?

I'll do the honours:

1
Super Mario Bros. (NES)
Nintendo
29.52 6.81 3.91 40.24
2
New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Nintendo
8.50 6.08 7.75 22.33
3
Super Mario World (SNES)
Nintendo
12.97 3.55 4.09 20.61
4
Super Mario Land (GB)
Nintendo
10.99 4.19 2.96 18.14

Included 4 cus Super Mario Bros was bundled a lot, so just included one extra.

________

1
Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
Nintendo
4.43 3.00 1.87 9.30
2
Donkey Kong 64 (N64)
Rare
3.31 1.10 0.86 5.27
3
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES)
Nintendo
2.13 2.21 0.81 5.15

_______

I love Donkey Kong, but its really not gonna be a NSMB Wii


Oh, thanks for your consideration of taking your time for looking at the numbers ***does forced smile***

 

Dk, is gonna be big, not as big as nsmbwii, but it has chance of moving consoles, a great classic returining. Actually, I'm gonna make a prediction and say it will outsell gt5, yeah!!

plus the expected kirby wii, waited forever, and goldeneye and mickey can do something

I hope DKCR can be big cus I have no doubt its gonna be the best platformer this gen.

Either way DKCR, Epic Mickey and Kirby Wii means for me this is the Wii's best holidays lineup



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

@ Squilliam

I think that's a pretty good point about who may be buying the new 360s.


another good point is who is buying new 360s and no games

Personally I suspect the second hand market has a lot to answer for. If you are buying a console this late in the generation and it is not bundled then the sales pitch almost inevitable slides to the second hand market. Bascially it is very easy to buy lots of titles but have none show up in software sales.

 

now you are just drunk

it can't be that people are buying $299 hw  and then just can't buy software

and it just simply can't be that all have been doing it as 360 HW have been alot and SW have barely moved.

I predict that DKCR will sell 2M tops lifetime and wont sell a single wii.


huh? really? why?


I don't think DK has many fans now as it did i nthe 90's and people wont be fussed over buying a wii just for a DK game.

exactly long discontinuation does this

People obviously don't need to say "doomed" to insinuate it is.

When someone predicts the 360 and possibly the PS3 will outsell it this holiday, that's essentially what they're saying. Since we know 360 and PS3 sales will be low (compared to Wii last holiday), for this to happen, the Wii would have to be down like, 40%, at least.

Doomed is a huge over-exaggeration. And even then... How many people have predicted both PS3 and 360 will outsell the Wii this holiday? "Doomed" is a phrase here that is used mainly by the Wii fanbase these days.

The Wii is looking shabby when compared to what we are used to from the Wii. This is a fact. And the Wii being down ~40% sounds a bit much... But it is definitely possible. They (currently) don't have a pricecut. And no single title bigger than NSMB Wii. Never mind NSMBWii, Wii Sports Resort, Tales of Graces and Wii Fit Plus combined.

Add in the possibility of Kinect and/or Move taking off and thus stealing some of the Wii's sales... You have the possibility of Wii being down a lot.

yeah many were but still DK isn't mario

so people had mario predictions at few million and it did many more

for DK people have way less prediction so it may end up even lesser

i'm not saying this should be the way to measure it but just that the expecatationa are way below

 

and don't forget wii got a pricecut

I'm saying an exclusive Tales game in Japan launching in December is expected to be a big hardware mover, yes.

I can't remember the actual numbers though so... Did it increase sales?
