Forums - Sales - Wii losing its thunder?

jarrod on 20 August 2010

It's probably on the downslope, but that's normal for a successful console in it's 4th year.  Still tracking well ahead of PS2 launch aligned, and that doesn't look to be changing anytime soon.

YOY Wii is not really 'way down' as you proclaim. Its summer and no big games recently. Wii is performing as expected.

360 is up due to clearance of old skus and the slim model.

However, this holiday will prove once again that Wii is the dominant console as it trounces PS360 combined.


rofl, dream on.


See my table in other ridiculas Wii is domed thread.

See the list of things the Wii has going against it this year compared to last in the other cool Wii sales thread.


Probably talking about same thread, look at my table.

Wii is going to outsell PS360 easily this holiday like I said.

I'm confused, do you mean Wii is going to outsell PS360 combined like earlier? Because your "estimated" numbers paint a different picture. HD 14.5 mill vs Wii 12 mill.

Hate to break your bubble but this XMAS isn't gonna be such a walk in the park for Wii.

No, I meant that it would still greatly outsell PS3 or 360, I didn't mean to imply combined. My bad.

Long time no see ya pal.Were you dead?

Also, it is almost impossible to get the Wii "thunder" back. The only way it could do it is by making an ultra-combo of games on the weight of Mario Kart and Wii Fit and launch them all in the same year. That would be flashy.



Above: still the best game of the year.
