I'd seriously bet that PS2 will be still manufactured by Sony and sold in Asia/Africa/South America long after Nintendo stops production of Wii.

Hmm, last FY they shipped 6.4, this year they expect 4M. I dunno if Wii is gonna drop that fast.

Would be kinda funny though!

It's probably going to happen, because Nintendo apparently wants to kill the Wii. The way they have been handling the console lately, they sure aren't all too different from all those third party companies who practiced selfsabotage on their Wii games. What the Wii stands for and what Nintendo wants to do are two completely different things.

It seems complusary that you if you get a console that is a massive success, the next one you have to sabotage into the ground, like some sort of pact the big 3 make going into each generation or something.

If it does over 40k for 1 week of July, I'll buy 2 new Wii games by the end of this year to celebrate.

My crystal ball tells me its Zelda and Kirby and that you will buy them even if it doesn’t sell over 40k for one week in Japan :P

Well... The last Quarter for the Wii was lower than any Quarter ever for the PS2...

Stranger things have happened

That's not true.

Or do you mean lower than any Quarter for the PS2 in its first 5 years or what?

The last Quarter for the Wii was higher than the last Quarter for the PS2, of course.

I don't get it.

It won't happen. It didn't really rise when Wii Party was released last Summer in Japan. Wii Party is probably bigger than all of the games you mentioned combined...without Wii Play Motion of course.

I don't think these games will do much until the Holiday's. That is what the Wii does now. No matter how many games get released or how big they are...they don't do anything in Japan until the Holiday's. To explain, I expect Wii to sell around the same as it has been and maybe get a slight boost. During the Holiday's though the Wii will do better since these games were released now...its kind of like an after effect.

The Wii kind of does that in America and Europe too now except not to such a big effect. Wii is kind of officially the Holiday system.


In other words noone wants it for themselves but it's accepted as good Christmas gift ;)

Yeah, its sad but its kind of the harsh truth. I don't even play the Wii anymore due to its major lack of games. I,m not even a "Core" gamer LOL. I like Party games and Wii Fit...but even I got tired of Party games and probably won't get Wii Play Motion.

Well, since the PS2 has been available Worldwide, it's never been as low as the Wii was at 1.37 Million apart from the very same Quarter, which PS2 was at 1.2 Million. Yes, only 170k away from Wii.

Before this, the lowest ever WW quarter for PS2, was 1.5 Million in the September 2010 quarter... As far as I know.

I wonder how he's coping, what with Nintendo's shares going through the floor ....

I don't think it will have a big bump, max of 7k at Inazuma Eleven week.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Obviously he is buying them to lower his avarage buying price (crap i don't know how it's called in english)

OT- but this could be not so bad idea Ninty stocks should rebound close to Wii U release and after good 3DS Christmas.

Yeah, Nintendos' shares will rebound and at the end of 2012 its value will be doubled compared to now, imo. Bet on that.
