PS3>Wii>360, but all very close

I think that's what we'll see at the end of the year as well.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I think this Holiday will be dominated by the 3DS and 360.

 

3DS sales are high now due to the Price Cut and should be high again next week because America and Others sales should both increase. I expect it to continue to sell over 150K a week for the rest of the year. As I have been saying since the 3DS sales were low and everyone was calling it a failure...3DS will be fine and sell very well. This Holiday will be HUGE for the 3DS!

360 will be the #1 selling Home console Worldwide this Holiday selling big #'s and outselling the PS3 for the year 2011. Kinect will be the main reason for the big 360 sales during the Holiday's. I expect 360 to replace the Wii as the Holiday Console this year.

PS3 pulls in the next few weeks

Without a price cut, it will be hard for the 360 to top either the Wii or PS3 for the holidays in total WW numbers (not to mention, I doubt it would erase the PS3's current lead). The 360 will likely win in the Americas, but nowhere else (price cut or not).

I'm just curious as to how you see that happening.

First of all, Hello, I haven't talked to you in a while LOL.

Even without a Price Cut I see the 360 outselling the PS3 in America this Holiday. Also, the PS3 just isn't a Holiday System like the Wii or  360 is which means the the Wii and 360 are likely to get bigger Holiday boosts compared to the PS3. 

I will admit that when I said that I expect 360 to dominate this Holiday I assumed that 360 will be getting a Price Cut. If the 360 doesn't get a Price Cut it could possibly still be #1 in America(Small lead) but won't be #1 Worldwide for sure. With a Price Cut though I see the 360 being #1 Worldwide this Holiday...and yes erasing the PS3 2011 gap. 

For example, if 360 gets a Price Cut to $150 and Kinect gets a Price Cut to $100, the bundle could be only $200. A $200 360 Kinect bundle would sell extremely well in America and do quite well in Others too.(Not $200 Euros but a similar Price Cut for Europe)

Howdy

And you've hit at points that are now more clear, and I agree (for the most part). Price cut or not, the 360 will win in the Americas. With a price cut, it may be close, but I still see the PS3 winning the holidays and the year overall WW. Without a price cut, there's nothing to debate, Sony will take the win (2nd or 3rd place - behind the Wii & 3DS) with ease. Even though the 360 and Wii do better during holidays, this year will probably be different (similar to 2009, in fact, where the PS3 beat the 360 on the heels of a price cut, revision, & (to a lesser degree) Uncharted 2). It won't be as major, but without a cut, the 360 will definitely lose WW.

Be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Yup, I should have explained LOL.(I was going to but was lazy) I agree without a Price Cut 360 will be #3 this Holiday Worldwide.(Not including Handhelds) With a Prcie Cut though 360 could become the new Wii this Holiday IMO. Also, you expect Wii to outsell the 360 and PS3 this Holiday?

Where does this notion that PS3 isn't a 'Holiday console' come from? The only years in which 360 beat PS3 during the holidays were the ones where we saw MS making major moves, and Sony not making any in return. 2008 with the price drop to $200 (and 2 price cuts in Europe in the same year) and 2010 with the slim, Reach, and Kinect. PS3 won substantially during the holidays in 2007, with 360 getting a price cut that year as well, and 2009.

I expect it too, even in its worst years, Ninty makes always sure to have heavy sellers for Xmas.
