Forums - Sales - WW up 30th april

loves2splooge on 06 May 2011

I'm not surprised by the Wii hardware numbers. The third-parties pretty much gave up on the Wii (don't feel this is justified), even Nintendo has given up on the Wii and the Project Cafe announcement put a fork in it. So sad. I felt like the Wii had the potential for a longer life.

PSP is on fire in Japan, doing well in Europe/Others. Those Americas numbers are miserly. The PSP just got a price cut to $130 not that long ago too. Dayum. So much for my theory that PSP might get a boost with kids with a competitive price tag (same price as DS Lite). From what I noticed, PSP in North America seems to only really appeal to otakus (I fall into that camp) and diehard fans of Sony IPs these days.

Crazy week!

PS3 first despite that PSN bloody mess! It reached the 50M sold to end users goal!!! Gratz!

PSP and XB360 second together in a bizarre testicular pie!    And PSP is the only one up WW! 

Wii last??? WTF? Casuals don't read head honchos' official statements, how could Iwata and c. piss them off so much?  8-O  :-?

PS3 deserves #1 right now for Home Systems as its the only one with games releasing currently.

Wii should get a decent boost after the Price Cut and return to #1 for some weeks. Though it may be more limited due to lack of games it should still hold #1 for weeks.

360 doing good and should do better later this year with some big Kinect stuff.

Also, DS & 3DS are not the same System and its an insult to 3DS that some of you are counting them as 1 in sales.

I will be surprised if wii gets to number 1, it will be 4th WW at best.  I don't think they should combine DS and 3DS for sure.

At least you agree that DS & 3DS are different LOL...Wii will be #1 at least for the 1st week after the Price Cut.

I expect a lift to the 140K range, PS3 will still be around 160K, why should 3DS and DS be combined people still don't know it's a successor to DS, it's like combining DS with GBA.
