I believe Wii is overtracked. There's no reason for it to outsell the X360 2:1 in America.

Ya and the wii was under tracked last month...ya know it's just the feeling I get, by-god 



Too many quote skyscrapers and not enough talk about awesome Epic Mickey sales. I am not pleased! >:(

Also, I believe someone else mentioned this before, but the top 12 selling Sega games have Sonic as a character. Awesome.

OMFG Wii.

Wasn't expecting the small drop for 360, I thought it would kick on. Was there a special on the previous week or something? Means 360 gap over PS3 WW will be under 100K, which is also lower than I expected to see.

Happy with 174K for GT5, means another good week world wide. Should be 4 million next week.

lawlz @ PS3 sales.

Though this weekend PS3's come with $100 gift cards.



It's just that simple.

Wow i'm sorry for ever doubting you Wii!

GT5 is having ridiculous legs, and Halo Reach will be over 200k WW!!  Black Ops will most certainly become the best selling 360 game...just ridiculous numbers.

360 looks like it is having shortages....hopefully MS can keep up with demand.

Again, I never said people said it in this thread, so you are wrong in that part. I just said that people do it, and that's nothing but true fact.

No, I don't need to back up anything, I'm not writing a paper or an essay to get a grade. And you are mistaken... people make comparissons all the time.... and I know you have seen it. Yesterday? A week ago?  a month ago? Doesn't matter. That's why I dont need to give any links, b/c I know you have seen it before, as well as almost everyone in this thread. And that was my point... I never said people did it today, in this very same thread; I just said people do it.

 

And of course HD fans are quiet right now... but just go back a few weeks/months ago and you will see that HD fans were saying "wii doomed" every single sales thread there was.

 

Don't be a hypocrite please. Everybody knows what goes on in these forums.


>_> coming from you an accusation of being a hypocrite feels wrong

I do recall few years back in another forum a Nintendo fan said COD will sell the best on WII!!!!! Don't ask me to back up this statement as this is not an exam and I don't need to do so......

See the problem? I can also point out how there were threads in recent weeks about how Black Ops will sell as well on wii as on the HD counterparts. But hey you are right, everybody knows exactly what goes in these forums

about the wii doomed thing. I have observed this and actually called out someone on a thread a while back on this as well. HD fans will point how sales have declined on the wii compared to previous years. They will point out how PS3 actually managed to outsell wii in more weeks this year in Japan. But I have almost never seen a HD fan say wii is 'doomed'...it's usually Ninty fans respond with that statements to threads, and posts like that. They scream wii is doomed in one week when it's not doing so hot and on the next week when the holiday boost kicks in, they say omg look at the doomzed console now lololol..who are they 'lol'ing at? themselves? Same about games, who screamed games like DKCR will be 'doomed' in threads? not the HD fans, they did say expectations might not be met but they never said it was doomed. THis is like a weekly joke now to me

so tell me this if I did

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (X360)
Activision
57 38,240 8,182,985
GoldenEye 007 (Wii)
Activision
6 37,214 293,008
Call of Duty: Black Ops (Wii)
Activision
5 34,739 244,627

OR if I point out that Black Ops 360 (and ps3 version too almost) outsold black ops Wii LTD sales this week alone

what purpose would that have? It's useless at this point, we all know what the wii can and can not do in some genre

that's what I pointed at the very begining of this whole argument. Few Wii fans chose to compare MKwii to GT5, why? For what reason? Heck they are not even the same genre. It's useless and nothing but to downplay GT5 sales, which are btw not too shabby at this point. I sincerely hope I got my point across. These types of posts are there to get a rise out of the other side, that would have been remotely acceptable if at least they were comparable on some ground at least.

LMAO

...and you probably never heard an HD fan saying ''Wii is a fad''. I don't know why you get butthurt because people are comparing sales. Last years people were comparing NSMB Wii to both versions of CoD:MW2 even if the games arent the same genre at all. It just interesting to compare numbers and taking bets.

p.s. NSMB Wii will outsold both versions of MW2 really soon! :D

butthurt? LOL ok then if you say so

I think it's stupid to make such silly comparisons. Guess you and Mtool cant' understand that.

and for the record, again, lot of people from ALL sides have said a lot of crap over the years. If you wanna bring each and every one of them again for every argument be my guest. go ahead and quote things like ps3 haz no games, WIi will get 50% market share by the end of the gen, etc etc as well. See how useless that is to a 'current' discussion? I pointed out how stupid it's to compare MKwii sales to GT5 sales 'this' week, cuz you know, that's the thread we are in.

and nsmb? vs MW2? LOL man that's just desparate. comparing a FPS to platformer. you are a prime example of what I was pointing at earlier. Doing w/e you can to downplay others games, even if it means doing absurd comparisons. guess I touched a nerve with my post. calm down and relax ;) it's just a discussion..please feel free to compare wiisports to FIFA11 as well, it will make you feel much much better considering how great FIFA did on Wii. Or compare FIFA sales on WIi to PS3/360. oh that's not fair? That's not part of wii's strength and hence it's not a fair comparison EVEN if it's from the same genre (heck the same game even) ? I hope you understand what I'm getting at with this

@MTool: guess you can't comprehend what I'm telling you and I see this argument is going nowhere. The post i made was in reply to a comparison of MKWii to GT5 in this weeks sales. I pointed how silly that is. You came in and said HD fans do it already. I said are you joking, in the sense that no one has done so in this thread we are in yet what I'm discussing have been done a few times already in this thread. I am not quite sure how holding on to years and years of history of bickering on all sides help you justify such actions, to me it's just immature and serves no valid purpose.

For a second let's say you are saying since x and y did so in the past, it's ok to get back at them (yeah like this is seriouz buzinezz).....then I have nothing more to say to you, you will also be part of the problem I'm addressing but doubt you will ever admit it.

Um, I don't recall anyone saying COD would sell anywhere near best on Wii. I think ONE uninformed gamer recently made the comment that COD: Black Ops could sell better on the Wii, and I believe he only said better than the PS3 version.

Meanwhile, I've seen SEVERAL people claiming the Wii would in a price cut this holiday or it was 'in trouble,' or that Kinect would propell Xbox 360 ahead of the Wii this holdiay. Wii fans obviously don't mean people are actually saying 'doomed,' they're just using that term as a generalization to people saying or implying that it would do much worse than it actually ended up doing this holiday and its sales would fall off a cliff. As is the case of DKC, many people, particularly HD console fans, simply VASTLY underestimated the sales, that's it.

Also, Mario Kart and GT5 not in the same genre?? Ok.. Sure one is a SIM racer and one is an ARCADE racer, but at the end of the day they are both racers.



Oh, as for the GT5 to Mario Kart comparison in relation to the FPS sales on HD consoles comparison to Wii..

While I don't think it's exactly fair to compare Mario Kart to GT5, there is a pretty big difference between that and the FPS situations. GT5 is a MAJOR Sony franchise, one that everyone expected rocket PS3 sales and sell 10 million easilly. While FPS games on Wii, well nobody expects those to do well, and third parties generally don't put forth anywhere near the effort or advertising the HD offerings recieve.

So ironically, YOUR comparisons of well.. the comparisons, are not exactly fair either M.U.G.E.N. :/

my head hurts >_<
