Forums - Nintendo - Is Nintendo ready to win this Holiday Season?

3DS will do very very well, tbh Nintendo should have waited till now to launch it though, at a $199 price point.

Anyway, Wii I don't see doing well, the redesign isn't a redesigned it's just a wii with less features 0_0 and it's Europe only. It'll do well as it's so cheap but, 360 will be too strong in Americas (if it gets that price cut, if not it's up in the air)

After announcing their huge sales jump from japan, they definitely got this.



Some parts of your OP obviously refer to EU only.. but in general, yes... Nintendo products will once again dominate the Christmas season.

The only stipulation I'd make is IF 360 drops price by more than $50 on all models and Kinect THEN Wii's saturation in the market might allow the 360 to be at par or slightly greater in sales.

But, nothing will stop the 3DS from dominating on the portable side.



Aye, I think the 3DS should be in high demand for the holidays and hopefully give a boost to previous titles in an effort to get more games made for it. I think the $40 price point is too high if not I would have jumped out to get a 3DS myself already. I can't honestly see myself being able to buy enough games to warrant getting it right now so I'll have to wait for a later time. As for the Wii I think its days of dominating are past it but it should hopefully have good sales with a proper bundle. At this point they need to start bundling with Wii Fit.

Ninty has 3 systems to sell and the other two have one, of course they will win, its pretty obvious.

3DS I reckon will sell the most or 2nd most this December and I think wii will shift about 2.5M in December.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

If I go by past trends. The wii will easily win these holidays. Dunno about 2nd though.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Which would be a mistake.

Wii gets the craziest boosts in the holidays my friend. The only way it'll lose if the other two do really well or the wii gets so low that it'll be impossiablr to recover by the holidays. The wii at worst could behind first place by 25k to 30k for me to consider myself wrong by october. Its less then 10k on the week ending of Auguest 6th

3DS? Yes. After Mario Kart Drops on December 4th, the week leading up to Christmas Day will be HUGE.

The Wii? No. I think Xbox 360 is taking it all this year. Japan is still a tossup between Wii & PS3.

This.
