Forums - Sales - Can 360 outsell the Wii this holiday?

There is definitely no chance of this happening.  If you think it will, you haven't been paying attention to the sales patterns of both consoles.  If you want to talk about 360 vs. PS3, they will be much closer in sales than the Wii is to the 360.



Around the Network

Maybe...

If Wii Party, DKC Returns and Kirby fails, and no price cut for Wii this year, then maybe. And like some others have said, ps3 can outsell the Wii too.

The future of Wii? only on NIntendo executives and developers minds... =/



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

After about three or four holidays coming and passing where the Wii outsold the competition every time, I've learned not to doubt it.

The Reach boost will soon be over, and the audience that wants Kinect takes a while to surface.

The Wii will once again outsell the competition this holiday...by wide margins.

and NO, the Wii will not get a price cut. That barely worked last year.

Your kidding right.

The facts of 2008 and 2009 sales. 

2008 September Wii avg sales 292K
2009 September Wii avg sales 159K - Price cut on October 1st.

2008 October Wii avg sales 375K
2009 October Wii avg sales 371K

So price cut pushed the 2009 Wii sales back to where they were in 2008.

NSMBWii effect.
Week 1 Wii jumped 35% WoW 731K
Week 2 Wii jumped 55% WoW 1128K (Black Friday week)

2009 same weeks
Week 1 Wii jumped 20% WoW 833K
Week 2 Wii jumped 65% WoW 1376K

So price cut really changed the game for Wii last year and NSMBWii not so much.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
