PS3 just had Move released, Wii had nothing compelling. If PS3 WASN'T in front of Wii, it would be in trouble..

You mean 600k, and I would not call it alarming.

Good point- I find the fact it's not miles ahead alarming...

No it wouldn't rofl, when are you gonna learn, Move is a slow starter, ioi has said he expects this himself.


ioi > you!

I'm sensing a new Nintendo Home Console reveal for next E3.  Now that the Wii is clearly losing its steam, I think it would be due time for Nintendo to hit big with an improved motion control based system (or something entirely new again) but with much more horsepower.  With the profits that they made on this console, and the reputation that they got (back to top, basically), they can invest in something much more powerful that would also catter to the HD and tech enthusiast in us. 

But maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Hrm, yeah I checked the YoY differences Rhonin posted and noticed the Wii is down 580,000. Probably too much to make up for. I revised my post to say "it has the potential to reach its 2009 sales or be CLOSE to it" right after I posted it but you were too quick with your reply that you caught my original statement :P. But regardless the YoY drop I believe will end up very small that it'll be almost irrelivent. It will just be a matter of how much 3 months of releases can pick up the slack for the drought the first 9 months of 2010.

Ouch Seece, that hurts!

Move with no doubt get some hit games, but the success of its games will be because of the quality of the games themselves, I don't think the fact that they have motion controls will make much of a difference.

Of course there is no way to prove or dissprove that point so I guess it's pointless to make such claims..

I just don't see too many people running out to get a $300 PS3 and another $100 JUST to play motion controls that have already existed for 4 years. I suppose this could happen, but Move will need to have a mega hit, like FFXIII-esque to justify the purchase.

As of now though, there is no reason for me to believe the Move is anything more than Sony's 32x.

It's not meant to hurt, just to make you realise your posts about move are premature. I think you know that though.

People keep talking of the rapid Wii decline this year as if their surprised.. Honestly people, just look at the Wii's releases this year, and it should become very clear as to why the Wii has declined this year (which it's not even that far behind from 2009). I expected this kind of decline (if not worse) when I learned that Wii's biggest titles of the first 3 quarters of the year would be Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M.

If DKC fails to lift Wii sales significantly, then I will begin the doomsday talk.

360 outsold the PS3 Wii combined this week by a little over 100 untis...amazing how close that was.
