Wii is down because it's uniqueness of motion controls got adopted by others, despite being late and the software available being a little lackluster I think it will cause some damage. Also the console is aging faster than others due to the weak hardware.

Commenting on the other consoles, 360 is getting good momentum cause of the slim model and reach, and PS3 past years sales weren't particularly exciting, so being up yoy is a no brainer.

Yet, the 3rd place is just glued with Sony now. No way it will pass 360 imo. Wii despite being down yoy by 3 millions, will  still be tracking above the PS2 right? That would set a new record for that fastest selling home console one more year I'd guess.

If Wii tops 100M by November 2012 it will be on par with PS2, but I think that is quite feasible.

Very fesible, it's not going to sell another 50 mill at the end of it's lifetime though the way it's tailing off.

How about another 40M, It should finish around 110M .

I'm talking about after it hits 100 million in 2012.

I think about 100-110 million sounds about right for the end of Wii.



Bah!

To get back on topic and ignore the obvious annoyance...

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on any of these figures.

Wii is currently down YoY by about 300k.

This means they expect Wii to be down YoY by a total of about 3 Million by March 2011, yes?


No. You can't mix YoY with FYoFY.

Wii is down 540k this FY compared to the last one.
They expect Wii to be down 3 million this FY from April 1st 2010 to April 1st 2011, not YoY.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

By the way the 360 was tailing of before the Slim launched I'd say it would be a dead platform by the end of the next year. But Microsoft revitalized the hardware introducing a new model and a high tech camera, and now reportedly the RoD'd issues were pretty much solved. But the majority of the 360 out there are still early models, those that have more than 25% fry rate. And that's a lot and replacement units will keep flowing out of MS factories. You are wrong.

Nintendo can do the same to their platform, and since its failure rate is acceptable for an electronic device hence no big volume of shipments will be wasted for replacements, and given the fact that the Wii is still tracking above the PS2, only if Nintendo doesn't want or doesn't care to revitalize wii sales, it won't surpass the PS2.

If Nintendo does the same to the Wii, you

No, you are. You seem to think they've only just solved the RROD problem, which highlights how much you actually know. (actually you've been wrong in this thread several times)

It's so funny how you put yourself in such a position where you can't be proven wrong, if Nintendo don't see revitalised Wii sales it's because "they don't want them" rubbish.

A slim Wii won't have the same impact as PS360 slims. For starters the Wii audience doesn't even care what it looks like, they don't have as many core gamers on the Wii as the PS3 or 360, (actually I doubt they have many) and the revisions made won't be significant.

Who would the target audience for a revised Wii be?




 

Mr.Metralha on 30 September 2010

The target would be people that want to buy it, and since the Wii sells much more hardware and software than the 360 or the PS3 (although not lately ) I wouldn't be surprised at all if sales skyrocketed again. Just because it is the number one console this gen.

After all who would care with a DSi and DSi XL, a console for casuals, when they had the shinny new hardcore PSP go?

Oh wait....

Saying I'm wrong is as much useful as me saying your are wrong, so here we go again: you are wrong.

Also, from the 43 million 360's sold, not counting the replacement units and rebuys for the Slim, I wonder how many 360 are really out there.

 I doubt it is much more than ~33 million, the remaining 10 million would pretty much represent the dead consoles that got replaced and that number represents an overall 23% failure rate for the system, since its launch. And that's a very fair number to give to its failure rate since the first models of the 360 were just disastrous hardware wise.

rofl, people buy wii's for it's main function, motion controls. THAT audience are not going to flock to it again because it has different casing ect, they do not care one iota.

BTW, I'm not even replying to that last paragraph, much prefer to just see you banned so nobody has to read the rubbish you keep spouting, and yes false figures on RROD are bannable.
