I don't think it's an if anymore, it's a when.
Can they do it before FF13-2 is out, and reap the most sales? If not, I don't think they can pull it off.
As others have said, the key game is DQX, and maybe TLS for Q1. If they come out/do well, then they'll win
| Ail said: PS3 should win handily. Seeing the current Wii sales in Japan I woudn't be surprised to see several weeks this year where Wii dips bellow 10k there... |
I'd agree with you here.
However, as we ALL know, the holiday boost for Wii is amazing, so if it can stay in touch with the PS3 (which it should) it could win. Coupled with Vitality sensor, big game releases and a price cut, and I think Wii could be on top!
are michael jackson and epic mickey coming out for the PS3?
Above & Beyond
I don't get why people belive Vitality sensor will be huge thing ? If it were so amazing why was Nintendo dead quiet about it on last E3 ?
And hell can you even guys think about a single game that could be made for it that would be fun to play ? Wii, Wii fit, Move, kinect all have fairly obvious usage and show instantly what kinds of games could be developed for it but what can be made for vitality sensor ?
It seems like everyone is just saying it will be huge bacause Nintendo is making it. Guess what Wii music was Nintendo game too.
I belive they burried this project deep below ground and will try to pretend it never existed.
They have two big things for this year that can boost sales - Zelda and DQX (if it releases in 2011 which would be against square policy of spacing major titles and they already have XIII-2 for consoles and Type-o for portables)

| TheSource said: With the new Final Fantasy coming for the holidays for PS3 in Japan you'll probably see Nintendo try to counter with something substantial as we saw in 2009. Ideally, that game would be Dragon Quest X but I don't think Square-Enix will do that, although it would be an enormous quarter for them domestically if they could pull it off somehow. It'd be amusing if it was NSMB Wii 2 against the second real FF for PS3. Supposedly Wii still has Inazuma Eleven, Zelda, Dragon Quest X, a Hal-Kirby game, Rhythm Heaven, Pikmin 3, Earth Seeker in addition to the games mentioned above. If DQX isn't 2011 then you have to figure Rhythm Heaven / Zelda are the holiday games with the rest as filler. Last Story in Jan / Earth Seeker for April / Inazuma Eleven for Golden Week / Kirby for Obon with various other small games or a price cut as filler. I really wouldn't rule out a big core sequel though - NSMB Wii / DKC Returns 2 - popping up out of nowhere to fill in a slow period. A new Mario Party or Wii Party or Wii Relax could do well. Actually, the Michael Jackson game from Ubisoft is supposedly coming to Japan - that could be a good filler game. With the success of Epic Mickey, Disney might be pushing for the next Kingdom Hearts console game to be on Wii as well. Epic Mickey is going to do 2-3m at least on Wii - thats enough to justify it I think. As PSP / DS collapse from PSP2 / 3DS I think a fair amount of PSP / 3DS could be ported to Wii as well, and there is the possibility of PSP2 and PS3 giving each other ports too. All in all, I figure Wii and PS3 will both be right around 1.5m with Wii slightly ahead again on price cuts. |
There's no Kirby Wii game, I don't know how many times I told you about that...
And you are way too optimist about Wii's scenario. Everything you said has to happen in order for the Wii to even maitain the sales of last year. Michael Jackson, really? PSP and 3DS games? You know it's not happening. Plus the KH Wii comment must be a joke right?
DQX is not happening until late 2012 I'd say. Pikmin 3 and VS are still vaporware. Earth Seeker will bw lucky to sell 100k. Inazuma Eleven isn't an RPG anymore, I doubt it will be a big hit.
Please have a look at Wii's line up for the yeaer and compare it to PS3's line up. I don't think I need to say anything else. Just look at the Q1 schedule and tell me why Wii isn't going sub 10k soon.

Indeed, it reads like something I'd expect from this guy

I really am not so certain FF13-2 will be so amazing, lots of disappointed FF fans with 13. I remain guarded there. Of course, the last FF game *I* enjoyed was 6 lol

Yeah, HAL's GC/Wii Kirby was folded into their new DS Kirby from what I understand.
Too bad, I think a "real" Wii Kirby could've been a million seller...

You just told me it didn't exist/it wouldn't be big...LOL
You asked me why I think Nintendo has something big in 2011 and now you say Wii could win? I am confused...?
