Lowest Wii week ever, could it go any lower than this? I mean the previous low was like 20k above this one, it really nosedived all of a sudden.

I'm starting to think that Nintendo rushed the 3DS because they knew Wii and DS sales were going to be atrocious and so to prevent a massive YoY drop on their revenues and profits. That's why they launched it just before the Fiscal Year ended, so that the first shipment of the 3DS was going to be included in the financial report. And that's why we aren't seeing much SW getting released for the 3DS, not even from Nintendo, because it was a rushed decision and devs are now delaying their games to enhance quality.

Not so wise after all, since the 3DS is getting bad press.

Easily will go lower, I think it's in danger of dropping beloew 50K this summer sometime. pricecust and software are needed.

It's also going to bite them in the ass next quarter. Assuming they managed to ship 4 million 3DS units this past quarter, I'd be surprised if they can ship much more than a million next quarter. Wii and DS sales definitely won't be going up in the next three months either.

I find it funny, that people are trying to spin this stuff into a victory, all three consoles are doing horrible.

They're not doing horrible imo, more like average. This gen is really starting to show it's age though! Won't be long now.

Well horrible was a poor choice of words, I guess, but I am talking about how people are claiming victory, more so. When the point of difference, is really bad.

Oh, I very much agree with you there, there really isn't a whole lot to celebrate for a generation heading downhill in a hurry!

Yea i know but still i wonder when people here in america are finally going to realize that as of right now the PS3 is overall the better console to invest in.

Its sad that MOST american gamers only play shooters and sports games. Most 360 only owners dont even know that games like Heavy rain, Littlebigplanet and Infamous exist.

The top Software sales for the 360 are usually always shooters(other than the kinect adventures game that is bundled).

I'm just saying the 360 communtuty should stop being close minded and start having a more diverse gaming communtity.

You do know best selling game on PS3 is a FPS right?

You do know that the 360's top ten is all shooters right? Oh, except or that kinect game lulz, so go to 11 and its still a shooter. ps3 has 7 and thats if we are counting GTA and MGS4 which i am. I don't care what anyone says, shooter are extremly popular on both systems. But on the ps3 has way more diversed games that either of the other consoles.

This gen is going to last until 2015? Fat chance Sony at this rate...

Wii price cut should make it number 1 for the year.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

PS3 sales being #1 is a great thing. Coming from me that may seem odd since I am always cheering Wii on but...PS3 deserves it now. Both Wii and 360 are getting NO exclusives at all while PS3 is seeing new releases all the time. If PS3 wasn't #1 it would be a shame.

Kinect sales are not doing nearly as good as I thought they would but I may have just had high expectaions but 360 sales are slowing faster than I thought for sure.

Wii...yes, it has hit its lowest week ever with only 115K this week. With that said, its not as bad as a lot of you on here are making it out to be IMO. When Wii gets a Price Cut and some more games such as Wii Play Motion Wii sales will go back up. Honestly, I don't expect it to go above and beyond like it used to but it should still do well. If PS3 gets a Price Cut it should stay #1 though.

3DS is doing perfectly fine IMO as it has no real Nintendo pusher yet but sales should go above and beyond by Holiday 2011 IMO. 3DS deserves every sale as its really a great Handheld and as soon as it gets more games I am sure it will explode like the DS/Wii used to.

DS...falling quicker than I expected but to be honest, I can see why. DS is Nintendo's worst Handheld ever IMO so I don't really understand the sales of it but I am happy 3DS already is great with a limited lineup.

PSP...No comment.
