Wii came close to outselling the HD twins combined WW... that's pretty impressive, considering that MS and Sony both thought they'd steal the "casual gamer" crowd from Nintendo with Kinect and Move.

Well not many said that the PS3 or X360 will outsell the Wii,but the Wii is down a lot YoY,while the PS3 and X360 are on par and up YOY,respectively.


Actually, a great many predicted that both the PS3 and 360 would shoot past the Wii when Move and Kinect came out, since its HD motion controls, taking away the advantage of the Wii. That is exactly the point I was making in my original post - that I'm quite surprized, because I didn't expect the Wii to perform so well either.  In regards to YoY, if the Move and Kinect couldn't at least keep the sales up from the previous year, there would be serious ramifications.  These are major technolody investments and releases for each respective company. The Wii hasn't really had much to offer in 2010 to counter it.

I know, I know. From our last discussion, I get it - you really don't like the Wii, and we'll debate this above point over another 15 posts if I let it continue. To summarize - Will was expected to fall to the HD systems this holiday, by many people, but in fact it nearly sold the same amount that both the HD systems combined have sold, even though they have recent major software and hardware releases.

VERY good sales all round, especially for 2 of the 3 "doomed" consoles (Wii, PSP)

PS3 is still poor, but the 360 (with Kinect) has beaten my expectations. There, I said it

I wonder why people think the PS3 is poor, it's down just 12k. That's hardly poor, just not as high as it's competitors.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Everything in pespective, just look at the PSP sales. They're still at the bottom by a way, but people are acting as though it sold around 78billion units. 

However, even if everything was adjusted up 500k people would still say poor PS3 numbers, due to the perspective it's in. When your competitors are so far ahead you'll be doomed no matter what

Looks like my Holiday prediction might end up right after all!

uDraw Studio adjusted down...makes me sad...but it still sold 59K in week 3 in America and should continue throughout the Holiday's and beyond!

Thanks anyway...not yet but maybe at the end of the Holidays! People would just make an excuse and say things like "well its only 430K behind so its not really a distant #3" by the end it could be behind even more which leaves less room for excuses...



actually microsoft already adjusted up there predictions for kinect to 5 million by the end of the year.



I think people consider it poor mainly because how its doing in America only selling 200,000 while everyone else is double that at least. 



Gotta give props to 360 in America's it's really kickin' it big time. DUnno what else to say really. Good numbers all over the place. Japan loves its MH.
