Okay, I know this thread is old, and was posted before that 1 week PS3 did overtake Wii in sales (due to the White PS3 Slim launch in Japan), but after that I vote zero. The only chance the PS3 has to overtake the Wii this year is GT5 launch, and Nintendo, regardless of the games, just explodes salesw-se in November, so there is no hope.

err no this thread isn't old, it was made today.

Oh I thought I saw it before, well I vote Zero, the Wii is just too popular during the holidays


Yes, but there are a few weeks until the holidays, and Wii has already fallen to PS3 level sales. For the next month Wii is still without significant software (I don't expect anything but a crash and burn from Metroid: Other M). Wii Party will be the first game that may boost hardware sales significantly, and it's a good few weeks away.

Wii sales have dropped to become slightly above PS3 levels, but they are still slightly above PS3 levels. The one week PS3 did surpass Wii in sales was due to a White console in Japan, and ever since then PS3 sales have been dropping. It's true that Nintendo doesn't really have any system seller until Wii Party, but other then the Move, what does PS3 have until Gran Turismo 5? There is LBP 2, but that won't push any more consoles then Kirby or Metroid, and Nintendo's Wii just takes off regardless in the holidays.

Sales start to go up during September, in expectation to the holidays, and with Halo making a strong bias to 360's for HD consoles this September, the PS3 won't be getting too much light (At least in the Americas). Yes there is the Move, but wil that hurt Wii sales?

I still hold Zero, PS3 will surpass Wii sales regionally (like in Europe during GT5 launch, and maybe Move launch), but worldwide, no. Nintendo has an amazing line-up of games starting in Spetember, and I think the PS3 is going to have a week holiday season in Americas.

Maybe next year.

Edit: looking at Release dates, the Wii has Deca Sports 3 in Japan for September 6th, and New Carnival Games for Americas on the 21st. That with Metroid: Other M give the Wii a slight boost for September sales, and in October Nintendos dominant streak will begin.

To be fair PS3 has EyePet and Sports Shampions in Americas on the 7th, and Sports Champions in EMEAA on the 16th, and Front Mission will give a small PS3 boost in Japan on the 16th.

P.S. I'm excited for Quantum Theory

What are you all talking about? Once GT5 releases nothing will be able to outsell PS3, even pencils and pancakes will sell less. GT5 will be so massive that it will cause a solar ecplise, but the GT5 bundles will shine on the shelves and PS3 will be revered as the new god.

OMG I saw all that in my dream!
