How far the PS3 has come in these last few years just astounds me. God what is Gran Turismo 5s opening HW sales going to be if it makes the holidays.



Around the Network

Now I can start worrying for WIi this Christmas. Seriously, we all said it sells well during holidays...what if that is just not true? What if last year boom was only because of price cut and NSMBW and without them Wii would have sold half the amount? This holiday could be the worse for Wii fans, all our dreams could just be smashed by the market. For now it doesn't look like even combined DK, Wii Party, Epic Mìckey and Kirby will reach NSMBW numbers...price cut or bad holiday coming!



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

Man, that's totally unexpected. If I said yesterday Wii would remain flat in Japan people would call me retarded. Move releases nexy week I'm right? Unless there is some unexpected Wii boost, Nintendo's console could actually drop below 10k.

No. It's not.

Some people here said before that Kirby would not move hardware.

For me expected.

No way did anyone expect the PS3 > Wii gap to increase this week...

Fair enough a few people didn't think Kirby would push Wii > PS3, but this is something else. Kirby didn't even provide a 1k boost. This is very very bad.

VGChartz Kirby prediction: 150k
MC Kirby numbers: 90k

Ouch!

Pretty disappointed in Wii overall. It's practically dead in Japan and Europe.

Last week RDR ps3 sold 70k and the ps3 HW didn't increase.


The Rockstar/Take-Two fanbase in Japan was already pretty firmly established even back in 2008. Just look at how well GTA4 sold.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Ah, but it doesn't count since you always expect Wii doom and PS3 glory. People think you are crazzzy, remember?

lol a little crazy... not so much.

Ok. I expected 15k for Wii not 12k... but 20k or more was unrealistic.

You keep saying this, and yet the 3DS is still a handheld console.
