I would be so happy if 360 declines next week but it probably won't. Hopefully the PS3 will jump like 50k that would be nice.

Hope 360 still sells just not as well. I just want to be able to say Reach did not boost console sales.

DKCR is going to be huge. Unfortunately it's still mostly the same kind of game as NSMB, so it won't push hardware like that did, but even so it will push hardware to a strong degree. That in addition to the sheer wealth of titles coming out, while in the last two holiday seasons were relying on a small number of big releases, this one should have a larger number of smaller but still quite significant releases. In the run up to the holidays we have Wii Party, DKCR, Just Dance 2, Micheal Jackson The Experience (only on Wii and handhelds before 2011), Epic Mickey and Goldeneye. Though, Epic Mickey could be a dud.

 

I hope Nintendo don't cut the price this holiday season. That way when software reignites excitement for the hardware, nobody can say "oh it was the price cut [which happened 8 weeks ago but is only now having a big effect]".



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

This has about as much chance happening as the PS2 making a comback.  I don't know if you follow Amazon top sellers at all, but on the few days before the Reach launch the Halo Reach console was hovering in #4 position, right after the 3 Halo Reach additions that were still available.

Well considering all the Limited Edition Halo Reach consoles sold out...

I think its a safe bet there will be a significant boost next week.

Agreed.  Price cut or nothing special imo.

Partially agree: without a cut, it won't have a big Autumn, but December will be big for Wii anyway, as usual, as its family and female friendliness helps it more than competitors for Xmas.

We will see how much of that market agresive Sony and Microsoft marketing can take away.

Well, last year I ruined my overall prediction largely underestimating Wii http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=95276 , so, while this year I predicted for Dec 2010 less than it actually did in Dec 2009, I won't repeat that mistake. Last year I predicted 5M, almost 1.9M less than it actually did, this year I predicted 5.9M (it woud still be almost 1M less than last year sales, I took into account that Wii's Xmas this year will be smaller anyway) http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=113556&page=1&str=148784763#

of course i know that but a man can dream, just hoping for 360 at 150k and PS3 170k both good numbers just PS3 a little higher

Not really WOW sales, the PS3 is really struggling

Wii, free fall

Xbox, maintaining decent sales, after the horrible 2009 holiday and first half of the year Microsoft had, that's great for them

Expect Wii to get crazy sales at the beginning of October, with Wii Party, Kirby, then Just Dance and Donkey Kong Country


Crazy sales?  I really dont expect that at all.   Which of those games is going to bring a NEW audience at massive rates over and above current adoption rates?  Why will those games push hardware?

People are just misguided, they think because it happened in 07, 08 and 09 ect, that it'll happen again. Of course it only happened because Wii was big then and had a price cut in 09.

Now if Wii has a price cut then yes, it'll do much better sales.

I don't think people can fathom that if Wii gets no price cut or new HW that it'll do on par with the other consoles ... sales arnt going to explode because of DK and Kirby .......

When dkc was released on SNES it pushed sales above the genesis. 

I don't think you understand the popularity of that game for older nintendo fans and the new ones.

Kirby I believe is more popular in Japan and I believe will push console sales. Wii Party will also push consoles.
