yes the wii is going to bomb this holiday, all they have is DKC,Just Dance2,Wii party and epic mickey to move hardware.
Yes just forget history..lol

It will. It is different from the wii, MS is putting 100s of millions of dollars in to marketing, they have Disney, Chevy, Sprint, T-mobile, Justin Bieber, NCIS:LA, Entourage, and other shows promoting it.
xbox 360 again above ps3 and wii, since June, good sales overall
Nintendo just fucked up this year, well the first 9-10 months anyways.
For the Wii... Ds is fantastic!
| DarkCronos said: i think people still underestimates what the holydays boost can do for nintendo's consoles. there is also a very strong line up, starting this october with wii party and just dance 2, which should start with mid-low numbers and progressively get bigger untill huge december sales (they are both titles people play with friends so a lot of word of mouh is garanteed. also, jd2 is doing quite good an the american pre-orders chart, and wii party is a "wii" title, with a controller bundle. they'll be huge), and culminating with Donkey Kong Country Returns which could be a NSMBW in a smaller scale. after all there is a co-op mode, and the nostalgia factor is quite big. i remember when i was a kid that the 3 DKCs were all the rage at that time. i bet there is still a lot of people who remembers them like me. the same could be said for the Goldeneye remake. surely goldeneye wasn't as big as DKC but a lot of people played it to death with friends and if this turns out to be a decent remake it could be enough to move some hardware on the nostalgia (and the multyplayer splitscreen). and then there's epic mickey, i'm not too sure on this but it's already showing on the pre-order chart and it seems to be getting some word of mouth even between people who are not into gaming... oh... and it's MICKEY... if it gets good reviews and a nice marketing push it could also help the wii sales. sure this holydays won't be as strong as 2009's holydays for wii, but i think a lot of people will be surprised at the end. |
I don't think people are underestimating the holiday boost for Wii, I think they are considering if maybe Move and Kinect will take some of it. We will not know until after the holidays but IF
people are getting bored with Wii and IF they see Move and Kinect as new and interesting then some of that "Nintendo" boost could be a PS3 or 360 boost.
Anyone that looks at it objectively has to admit that this is the weakest the Wii has ever entered a holiday and the first time there are competing motion controls. Considering that it is reasonable to think some of the big boost is going to get spread around a little more then in the past.
Personally I think Sony and MS may just get really lucky hear and catch people that are starting to feel that itch for a Wii HD and see Move or Kinect as something that can fill it.
I in no way think it will be a full switch over from Wii to PS360 but I do think this holiday is going to see the three a lot closer to parity then ever before.
whatever said:
Wait, you don't think GT5 will push PS3 hardware? |
GT5 will push hardware for a couple weeks, king of like Halo Reach, but it isn't going to have a massive weekly sales boost. I honestly can't think of a single game that has ever had an effect that has lasted more than a few weeks.
I think 360 sales are supressed right now. They will rise on the week Kinect comes out.
If you are one of those people who want a new 360 console and are interested in Kinect, then you would probably pre-order the consol/kinect bundle to save $50. Same for potential new 360 owners, given Microsoft's marketing the past few months most would fall in the casual Kinect category.
I would think some existing 360 owners who are interested in Fable III may be waiting for a Fable bundle. Same with Sony fans on GT5.
Nintendo really has to pull the trigger on a price cut soon. We are currently in the Wii doom and gloom phase for the first time this generation. 360 went through it successfully, PS3 went through it sucessfully. Now its Wii's turn. What can they do to reverse their current slide? I don't think Metroid Other M and Donkey Kong Country is enough.
The current PSP is dead. As much as I like my PSP more then DS it is time admit, Nintendo DS kicked its butt this generation and 3DS will probably kick it more.
