Japan has sided with the PS3 Leo-J Multimedia Device

UK with Xbox 360 Selnor Multimedia Device

You have PlayStation in your name and "rock" after it yet you side with the Wii Soriku Entertainment System......why?

Please the Wii will easily outsell the PS3 in Japan, but it will take a miracle to beat the surging 360 in the UK.

I can accept the "slow burner" argument for the moment, but if by November it's still a "slow burner", Kevin Butler lied.

Come back to this thread in November then. :P

What happens in November?

{hears cars zooming past his house}

ohhhhhhhh......

Updated my 360 Vs Wii UK thread - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=114476&page=1#

*nudge* psrock


The only time I am pulling for the Wii, it has let me down. But, I never underestimate the power of the Wii during the holidays.

It's going to need to do wonders to win. Not only will you have to hope 360 goes flat YOY, you'll need it to drop with Kinect. You'll also need Wii to climb over last years sales, where it had NSMB and a Price cut. Not to mention, UK has just gone Xbox crazy this year ..

I think fact Wii does so well in Europe and NA and .. everywhere during the holidays misguided you, even last year in the UK they were relatively close.


While NSMB was still a big hit even there, UK was relatively speaking a weaker area for it. I don't think it's too far out to say that after it's predecessor being in the GFK top ten consistently since January, Just Dance 2 may actually a bigger title than NSMB was for the UK. That said, it's a direct sequel which diminishing it's potential to push hardware, and even if it didn't it wouldn't necessarily mean that it would beat the 360 in this race.

Just as well Kinect has a superior competitor this holiday then, that could steal some of its userbase.

What do both consoles have coming out in Japan for the rest of the year? I'm routing for the PS3 personally ...

Depends on Kirby and DKCR

And how big GT5 actually turns out to be in Japan.

Right now PS3 is leading.

It is "winning" for 2 weeks at least!

Wii is still perfectly fine Worldwide...Others is much more hard to figure out at this point but Wii should be fine this Holiday. Also I already predicted and expected Wii to be #3 this week Worldwide and possibly the 25th and maybe even the week after that but when that is over Wii should be ahead of Sony again and should be #1 starting in Mid-Late October.

I really doubt GT5 will be bigger than DKCR, but we will see.

But this year It seems Nintendo is focusing so much on the 3DS, it has forgotten about the Wii which feels even futher behind tech wise these days. To me even at $199 feels too much for it, the Wii should be $150.

How else do you explain the 360 having moved millions of additional hardware between Halo 3 and Reach and an extra 50k this week, yet Reach is only up 50k from Halo 3?

Surely you cant believe people who bought Halo 3 and were avidly playing it online years after release dont want more Halo? Because i find that hard to believe considering how well it was received. So thus, id be compelled to say that the many millions of new xbox 360 oweners between Halo 3 and today and the 50k more consoles sold form last week are more to do with people who already had access to Halo 3 and a 360.

But thats my rational. Care to explain why you feel Halo 3 sales and Reach sales are different by 5% when the userbase has grown by leaps and bounds? Id argue, as i just did, that its because those users who bought Halo 3, bought Reach. And you?

First reasonable post in this fanboy war. And were it not for MS UK (who throws money down the drain in heaps to push XBox sales), console sales in EMEA would be more or less flat (my contribution to this silly fanboy war..)



poor wii, I think nintendo really let the 25th aniversary oppurtunity go



PS3 software is up only  1% O_o ???
