Hear me out!

This is by no means a damage control thread, but with all the topics lately about the Wii being doomed and what not, I want to prove all the naysayers wrong. The Wii is still doing great. I mean, just look at hardware sales in Japan. The Wii is still dominating the 360 over there and its 2010 sales will beat the Xbox 360's entire lifetime sales right from its launch in late 2005 up until the end of 2010.

2010 Wii: 1.01m

Xbox 360 lifetime: 1.39m

Both numbers are up until the week ending September 19th 2010.

The Wii has 380k units to go, plus whatever the 360 sells for the rest of this year. Last year, from September 20th to January 2nd, the Wii sold 1.14m units. So it's highly probable that the Wii will pull it off, especially if Metroid: Other M shows some good legs.

As you can see, the Wii is far from being dead which is further proven by this nifty chart showing recent worldwide software sales. Nintendomination!

You got me there

I'm glad I spurred you on to do a thread, it's been a while now ..

this would be interesting if xbox was doing good in Japan... But you are right wii is far from dead and still sells plenty of software.

Actually people should see beyond the joke. This illustrates what many of us know, that you can take facts and have them prove your point, whatever it is, by ignoring other facts. This is done very often in ___ is doomed/is deteriorating threads.

So the 360 is doomed then?



Above: still the best game of the year.

The problem about the Wii is not that it's selling horrible, it's that it's selling extremely bad compared to what it was selling.
