What am I, psychic? It depends how next year turns out... games, bundles, price cuts etc etc....but let's wait and see.... after all, the wii has been doomed every single year, I'm sure next one won't be any different
03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:
Last year the sales of the Wii went up the week following BF
From 1.2 mil to 1.5 mil
then 1.5 mil then 1.7 mil
So if things go according as trends dictate Wii sales will
continue to rise not drop after BF
As far as sales trends for the 360 and ps3
Week after black fri last year sales slipped a little
ps3 601.000
360-452.000
then raised a little more
then dec 19 the PS3 had a big spike and 360 had a minor increase
Now I forgot why I did this oh well

given what the market has looked like for the past couple months, wii will be getting a price-cut guaranteed. Hopefully the others will be getting them too, specifically ps3. Can't say as much about 360 since they're making good money and selling a good amount.
But this really looks like a last hurrah.
I predict that there should be at least another wii fit (using the pulse monitor), another nsmb, and new colors, and a pricecut.
for ps3, price cut near august or early march, if it's in august or september expect a slim redisign (Sony never said the redesign was a slim version, and even made an announcement saying that it was "not the slim version". Already has loads of games slated. New bundle prices for move and ps3 in mid-late year.
360 bundle price drop. Elite become arcade price, arcade fades away. New elite version (as always), price increase on subscription. New colors, faceplates, etc. Will probably get ff13 versus, exclusive CoD DLC, maybe even exclusive CoD, and using a controller with kinect.
2012
new consoles on all fronts unless move and kinect really extend their lifetimes.


Next year,holiday sales won't be enough to save Wii's ass.
Excellent both Nintendos, very good XB360 and PS3, but Sony must boost it in USA, good PSP.
Wii went beyond expectations, "impressive" is almost an understatement.
DKCR at launch under the old NSMBW, maybe Ninty should have refreshed Donkey Kong's name a little bit more often.

Honestly they are less crazy this time around. Wonder what happened. Where are the threads about wii doing over million. I mean if any other console did over a million, I know we would see that thread. |
Yeah, though it might be due to the fact that Wii has sold a million in a week like I think 3 or 4 times now? Maybe it's just gotten old and lost its appeal
Though for the overall sentiment, yeah it's funny to see the camps fight back and forth, I think between Wii topping the PS3 and 360 lately and the motion controller battle, it's sparked the HD console feud once more, ahh the only thing that can bring together two hateful groups is their hate for the third larger entity

You do realize that Wii only had a sliver of a down turn in year over year sales right?
I think you maybe talking with your heart
