After adjustements PS3 should be on top this week.

How doesn't it lead to the fact that Wii is doomed?

If you were to have a flow chart...

• Console sells amazingly well, fastest selling home console of all time. Revolutionses gaming
• People who dislike the way Nintendo took the Wii from 2007-2009 want to find a way to call it a failure, however, in these years, it is impossible
• Wii enters its 4th year, lots of "hardcore" SW being shifted, sales drop
• Said fanboys from step 2 attack this fact and call it "doomed". They now have a reason
• Moderators catch on, call it "trolling/baiting", ban the word
• Fanboys are upset, look for a non-troll-ey (?) way of expressing their hatred for Nintendo
• They say Nintendo "needs a price-cut" or "new SW to ignite sales"
• Analyst who is upset he was wrong catches on, media listen
• World is against Nintendo, or so it seems, Nintendo fans join in
• The Wii is now doomed

That's how I see it anyway

(just to note, I don't mean to annoy or upset anyone, and I shouldn't hear. But that seems to me how this has been working as of late )

How do you think we all feel? It's the same issue and the same people saying it every week, along with "statistical tie" from one camp, and "YEAH! Console X wins by 1,000 units! Manufacturers of X rule teh WORLD!"

And then fighting breaks out and lasts for pages and pages and pages and pages etc.

While all of you keep arguing about stupid things, as:

"OMG XBox360 wins by 3000 units"

"Statistical tie!"

"Wait for adjustments"

"Wii is domed"

I'm going to eat some double chocolate cookies I bought at the Morrison Of Gibraltar. It doesn't have anything to do with this thread, as 99% of the garbage posts, but at least those cookies taste really good.

This is turning into a meme.

In past generations has a leading console ever dropped down to 2ed/3rd place levels in terms of sales before?

Please, no. We don't need another one of these stupid retarded posts. Just look in the thread, we have more than enough.

Well, what did you expect? With Kinect and the slim it would be weird if it was down or just flat YOY. And the PS3 and the Wii didn't have anything that pushed sales over a longer time (Wii holiday bundles did boost sales really well, and Move and GT5 also did a good job, but that isn't really comparable to Kinect in terms of impact on sales).

You should make said meme and we'll help it go viral

Did you mean 2011 vs 2010 mayhap? Edit. Ooops! Sorry, I took too long to post, you already fixed it.  

Anyhow, despite Wii looking in the worst relative situation from last year, I still think that excessive pessimism about it is not justified, if it will follow its usual sales trend, with Autumn and Xmas sales it will reach first place for WW yearly sales, although by a smaller lead margin and by a minimal, if any, one in USA. Nothing to worry too much about, also considering that Ninty still has some moves available to give Wii a second, smaller peak that would delay the real beginning of its decline. The minimum goal Ninty needs to achieve is not being forced to launch Wii2 this year, too close to 3DS, but even with the current sales and a Xmas boost proportional to them this goal is already granted.

And finally, I love statistical ties, they make haters eat more crow than usual, don't mind them and just enjoy the show!
