its looking more and more likely PS3 will out sale Wii by some big numbers every time i see this thread.

PS3 will outsell wii 52 weeks out of 52 weeks this year, and the gap by end of year will be about 3M.

The Wii will at least outsell the PS3 one week and probably two if DQX comes out this year. It will be a huge system seller.


DQX isn't coming this year, and if it does I don't think it can lift wii over 50K.

If Media Create data will be confirmed, PS3 won again, but further dropping, while Wii grew: maybe Wii could win its first week this year soon!
3DS plummeted after the imminent price cut was announced, as it was predictable.

Another victory for PS3, but by a small margin this time. Preliminary data, though, tell us that the week just ended 3DS has dwarfed everything else.

Is that including this week?

The last WW complete data we currently have here on VGC are about the week ending 6 August (7 August in Japan), while the preliminary Japan data with the huge 3DS sales are about the week just ended, but VGC hasn't charted that week yet: 3DS price cut happened at the end of that week, ending 14 August in Japan (13 elsewhere) and the price cut was in 11 August in Japan and 12 August elsewhere, so Japan had more days with boosted sales for 3DS in the first week with the new price than everywhere else.

Yeah, but really, what HUGE game could Nintendo have up their sleeve for the Wii this holiday? Especially when you look at the 3DS as well...

I also expect a Price Cut for both the PS3 and Wii this year by the way.(360 Too but its not in the thread)

Anyway, to answer your question...

Are you serious? Do you really believe that Nintendo is just sitting there saying "The Wii is doomed lets just abandon ship and move on to the 3DS."? I highly doubt that LOL... its just speculation and guesses from everybody in this thread at this point but my personal opinion is that Nintendo has something big for 2011.(Vitality Sensor is again my personal guess)

Think about it, what has Nintendo had that is a new Item(Peripheral) since Motion Plus? I am 95% sure that Nintendo has something new and unique ready for Wii in 2011 and I am that much more confident about that now after Move and Kinect...Nintendo isn't dumb and they realize that Wii isn't the only one with Motion controls anymore and they will want to set the Wii apart from the PS3 and 360. I will also predict that Vitality Sensor will be shown during Iwata's GDC conference about the past and future.

I am Quoting myself to laugh at my post.

 

@ Bolded: I guess that is exactly what Nintendo was saying after all LOL. They are jumping ship with the Wii and focusing on 3DS and Wii U instead. Back in January...I didn't see that coming at all LOL.

Only way I can see Wii outselling PS3 in Japan this year now is to have a Price Cut and Dragon Quest 10 release happen at the same time.

It's actually a testicular pie with whisker-thin lead, but Wii beats PS3 for the first time this year, 20364-20220!

And I bet the only other week the Wii will beat PS3 is the week of Skyward Sword Release. Other than that its all PS3 as the lead console in Japan from now on this year.
