360 > wii. This is what I like to see!



Around the Network

Good figures all round really. Madden 360 & PS3 numbers are really close considering the large gap the 360 has over PS3 in the Americas



Why is Wii Party up so high in Japan this week? Did I miss something or is it just legs...

Anyway 360 doing well and Wii and P.S.3 holding up.

Is it just me or did 360 get adjusted down and PS3 adjusted up?

Both are Up but Ps3 seau a bigger boost!

Hell to the fucking YES !!!! Where are the people that said God of War III would be lucky to hit 2 million ?


They're probably hiding under a big sheet that says "Don't kill us, we didn't know GOW 1/2 sold that well, the sales were WRONG"



Tease.

Regardless, they were spewing around the usual userbase argument which has been proven wrong many times. 

And they were adjusted up by what ? 500k ? 

Either way, God of War III is gonna become the best selling God of War ever !

Its crazy, not only to have the Wii 2nd place in the weekly sales but having the PS3 so close to the Wii. If things continue the way they are going we could see the generations first place winner possibly in third place in weekly sales on a semi regular basis next year.

On the side of a Wii replacement, Nintendo are likely seeing about 45% cut in console hardware revenue aside from any currency fluxuations YOY. That is about as severe drop as I have ever seen, the bottom really has come out of the present market for the Wii. Im picking they will replace it 2011 if it doesn't pick up. If the drops continue at this rate, they won't be able to contain the declines even with another $50 price drop.



Tease.

Stop lying. Everyone knows that the God of War / Heavenly Sword crossover with Athena is gonna kick the pants off the Kratos games in terms of sales. She is the true god of war, not that pathetic loser kratos with daddy issues.



Tease.

It will be interesting to see next weeks numbers for Europe what with the release of the new Arcade version. I went to my local store today at lunch and they were all sold out. Both versions were gone. Then i walked past Argos and saw they had a deal on where you can get the new arcade unit for like £130. Again all gone. So if that trend has happened nationwide then i expect big 360 sales in UK next week. Next weeks data will only be for one day of arcade sales though.
