Around the Network

Any suggestions/stuff I've missed, please let me know.



 

Wii has Kirby Wii to my knowledge. And Xenoblade! 

I think it'll be closer than any previous years, but with heavy Nintendo advertising Nintendo will win it. Just.

Then MS a very close second with Sony a bit further behind...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm saying close between 360 and PS3, with Wii 3rd.

Nintendo expect to ship 2 mill less than PS3 this year, and MS expect to outship Sony.

Lack of SW, not an immediate or as effective price cut as the other 2, and nothing new pushing the Wii, AND the fact that it barely won last holiday, I think that's a safe bet.



 

360 will win the holidays....unless PS3 price cut during the holidays at Uncharted 3 launch....then its PS3.



Around the Network

360 will most likely win the holidays if they get a price cut to make Kinect cheaper.



Tough one.

The 360 is going to surprise in US, the Will will do crazy in December, the PS3 I don't know.

Obviously the X360. It has the strongest upcoming core games (Gears, Halo, Forza) and casual games (a bunch of Kenect titles) this season.

Plus PS3 sales are relatively stronger during the off-season while X360 benefits from the $199 Arcade price during the Holidays.
