They did not "fumble the ball." It is the natural console lifecycle.The only reason Sony and MS are not seeing identical declines is because of the slim models and Kinect extending their lives.

There is a thing called oversaturation. If you obtain super fast record amounts of sales, eventually you will fall as quick as you rose. Eventually you will reach a limit in how many people want your console. It just happens. Sony and MS will soon reach that point as well if they haven't already. It's just that the rises have been less drastic for them, so the declines will be as well. The higher you reach, the farther you have to fall, it's just that simple.

The fact that you are even comparing drop in Wii sales during February of its FIFTH year to the mistakes made between SNES and N64 transition is laughable..


Like i said to begin with its irrelevant for this gen but i could see them losing market share next gen like n64 did compared to snes.

I admit im very pessimistic when it comes to Nintendo,maybe it has something to do with living in the UK. Nintendo have never been very popular here, heck the Master System out sold the NES here.
Most gamers I know love Bayonetta yet don't know Madworld exists, the vibe surrounding Nintendo seems to be at an all time low.
 
I understand what your saying about over saturation and your right but I don't recall the ps1 or ps2 being outsold by the competition 5 years into their gen, They still sold well even when the next generation began as did the snes and nes. I think its quite a big deal that the Wii is selling less than 360/ps3 and an even bigger deal that kinect looks like being a big success eliminating the Wiis main selling point,its unique motion controls.
 
Unless Nintendo comes out with something completely new again and creates another blue ocean for themselves they'll be fighting for market share against two bigger companies and will probably come off worse.

good ps3 and 360 numbers, ps3 even more so as its more expensive.

poor old wii, i think its gonna drop off soon, i was to buy a console for my self or as a present it would never be a wii i predict nintendo will launch new console forst.

Oh I just had a guess:

Console Weekly (change) Total
DS 651,190 (-59%) 143,963,783
Wii 615,632 (-61%) 83,659,784
PS3 555,932 (-40%) 46,345,856
X360 472,788 (-58%) 50,388,641
PSP 322,635 (-42%) 65,386,575
PS2 157,311 (-41%) 141,658,359
Total 2,775,488(-54%)

This was by the end of 2010, Microsoft shipped 50.8m consoles and Sony 47.92. According to VGC 410k were on shelves for the X360, and 1.57m for the PS3.

Now think about one single and important thing, shipment figures for the first quarter of the year. What if Sony ships the same amount as Microsoft again? (with the shortages issues solved for Microsof).

See what I mean? :)

The PS3 is always overshippedz, didn't you know?

Yea, and 1.2M difference on shelves is explained by emerging markets, where less than a million is shipped, so... wait? Omagud, again a shitty excuse. ^^

No seriously pezeus, I can't believe people still believe such a huge difference worldwide is possible. 1.2 fucking million more for the PS3 on shelves... didn't know shortages were this big, and even with more than 50% of the market in USA alone, it's impossible.

This is seriously shaping up to be one of the most interesting years ever in the hardware race. Literally ANY of the home consoles could come out on top.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Not all that surprising. The Wii didn't really have any system sellers lately, but I expect it to get back on track pretty quickly.
