Forums - Sales - Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft has won

Game_boy on 28 December 2007

I know how much time you all spend trying to convince the forums that your chosen console manufacturer has won, so to help you in your mission I have done this. Simply delete as applicable and post to the relevant forum. Good luck!

It wasn't obvious until now, but Nintendo / Microsoft / Sony has won. Hardware unit sales for the Wii and DS / Xbox 360 / PS3 and PSP this Christmas were phenomenal (bar nothing / Japan / Nintendo's success). Several smash-hit first-party / third-party / PS3-exclusive games have boosted Wii / Xbox 360 / PS3 software sales too. Nintendo's / Microsoft's / Sony's objective of bringing fun gaming to a large audience / eliminating Sony as a threat / having an multimedia centre in every living room has paid off, and sales will only rise in the future because of the Wii / Live / PlayStation brandname.

Looking forward to 2008, big titles like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii / Unreal Tournament 3, Fable 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV / Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet along with price cuts will increase demand. Once supply / hardware failure / manufacturing cost issues are resolved, there will be nothing to stop Wii / Xbox 360 / PS3 sales. Since non-games / downloadable games / Blu-ray Discs have taken off, Nintendo / Microsoft / Sony will also generate significant revenue from their new franchises' / Xbox Live Marketplace / BD sales and become more profitable soon. At the rate the Wii / Xbox 360 / PS3 is selling, it will overtake Xbox 360 NA / worldwide Gamecube / Xbox 360 Others sales in 2008. It seems third-party support / a free online service / backwards compatibility isn't that important to make successful consoles.

Support the winner, and give them your eurodollarpounds!

This only works if one of them isnt true, but its true about the Wii, so hows this funny, how can anyone say anything was phenominal, sales wise compared to the Wii?

8/10.

The main mistake that costs you points is that it weren't PS3 exclusives to boost the software sales.

From a Sony fanboy's perspective, it might be that way.
