Yes, but Michael Pachter is predicting a huge holiday season for the Wii. So it is, in fact, doomed.

Wii just jumped this week from 138K to 188K out of who knows where and its doomed?

Sitting down, holding hands, singing kum-bai-ya, etc. etc. (don't forget the s'mores!)

From what I took from it, I thought he was trying to say that Wii and its fans dont need to lash out at others for their successes, or to feel down because their console isn't in first place. It's already hugely successful and nothing will take away the legacy it has established.

Or something like that.



Last year Wii sold over 2 million units in the upcoming weeks: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/82590/2010-year-on-year-sales-and-market-share-update-to-october-23rd/ Compared to that it indeed does look doomed, though only because those sales where so impressive last year.

Don't you mean 12 millions? :P



Above: still the best game of the year.

i've got to say, wii is a great family game... if your family does play games, and i've noticed that after a while they soon get fed up of it (reasons may vary) and playing it on your own starts to make you think the wii is boring. on the other hand, being the cheapest console and very high in sales it ought to be good and for some it is. the wii in my experience is something that needs to be played with a group of people and when it first came out i knew somebody that bought it straight away, this person was someone who mainly played games that had a long solo-campaign which would take a couple of long hours to finish, they then noticed that the wii isn't made for this (however resident evil, tomb raider did make a slight change in what the wii is capable of achieving but didn't carry on.) because of this disappointment many wii's were traded in, sold online and this makes me think that nintendo over rated their advantage of motion control over the opposing consoles which i why i think prices are being lowered, more are being bought by seeing the other sales (due to the fact that it was cheap) more people buy it, until people realise why the prices are low and the arrival of the wii's downfall is close.

i'm not trying to say the wii is bad, it's just my opinion and my first forum post.



The Wii is just doing fine, there's no need to worry. November is our month. Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

It is pretty disheartening that 1 console doing exceptionally well means the others are doing poorly. Don't we want them all to do as well as they possibly can thereby keeping the industry and allowing creativity and choice to flourish. The Wii has outperformed everyones expectations and then some. It undoubtedly will ship more hardwae and software than the other systems.

The Xbox 360 is a huge improvement over the orignal Xbox and is on track for its best calendar year ever.

As for the PS3, well.... there is a reason the forums are jumping up and down right now.

Can't we all just get along?
