muahaha....oh pardon me.

Those are some nice numbers =) 

Hmmm so I'm a PS3 fanboy who also owns a 360?  I'm a technophile and really get behind the systems that offer the most bang, regardless of cost.   That's probably why I look forward to upgrading my computer every year to the newest, latest, and greatest out there.   Idiotic because I asked a open ended question on the low sales numbers of the Wii?  I wanted to get the general thinking of this site on why the sales were so low and threw out a hypothetical question.   Then again, with you passing Soriku as the Wii fanboy with the most.... oh heck, I won't go there, you can fill in the blanks.

I never said that the 360 would fall or do poorly in sales for the rest of xmas.  I expect them to pick up a few more sales this week as well as all of the consoles.   I really don't see any console less then 300k in America for the current week and know that the Wii will pick up sales as it was widely reported that stores were stockpiling Wii's for a big weekend sale.

 In regards to why people wait, it's easy.  Deals.   If there was a supply issue (like the Wii) they wouldn't wait around.  But in the cases where there is plenty of stock, they may take their time to see if they get more BD movies, or a game for free or a gift card for a store by waiting till the last week.  That applies to both the 360 and PS3, but not the Wii because of it literally selling out this holiday season and they'd risk not getting the Wii if they waited around longer.

 Also with the PS3 and 360 (premium and elite) being more expensive, some consumers may want to wait to hope they can hold off putting the purchase on their credit card till the last moment so they can save some interest on the purchase or wait another 20-30 days to pay on it depending on when their statement comes for their card.

Ioi...

If that data is even remotely accurate... that's simply monstrous. No wonder we're seeing a downturn in sales then... that absolutely reeks of retailer stockpiling. Kind of scary actually...

 good thread, next time pick a more descriptive title.

Ummm no.  I didn't.  I may have giggled softly to myself just to see what kind of reaction the Nintendo faithful would give and excuses why they sold less then both the 360 and PS3.

 I don't really get joy in seeing Wii have poor sales, I get much more enjoyment out of seeing the meltdown of the Wii fanboys.

I wonder how Uncharted sold?

And yeah, the PS3 is sucking hard in the US...

 Well considerin Wii still won WW sales there is no meltdown, even with Wii supply constrained MS and Sony couldn't capitalize

Huh?

Oh so you were trolling, I see. Now it all makes perfect sense. Troll.

Great strategy from Nintendo - holding back and creating excitement and desire for Wii. 600k in one day?
Great for PS3, for me at least, I'm planning to get PS3 when they drop the price next year - it might come soon enough. ($299?)
Great for X360 - this is the most sales I've seen for 360. I was looking for X360 Pro yesterday, and Best Buys, Walmart and Gamestop didn't have any - and no RockBand either. I think 360 will have another great numbers next week.

Well spotted :D
