i really don't think ps3 will catch wii, but it will be a big rival for it.



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

Yeh its the same with mine. But knowing Microsoft, they will be paying for a lot of advertising, so by the time its out, people will know! Plus havn't they got that new user content?

Personally, I don't think the positions will change. The Wii has absolutely 'won' this generation. The PS3 and 360 race will be interesting, though, to say the least.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Nintendo would have to make a huge mistake at this point for the Wii to not pull through as the system of choice. Or a competitor would have to introduce either a new console or a peripheral with a huge attach rate, coupled with a winning strategy, to draw away the unmet demand of the Wii.

What will be more interesting will be to see if the 360 and PS3 manage a bell curve of sales, or if they experience the inverse checkmark curve (ie. lots of sales the first two years, massive drop-off with no real recovery afterwards) that the original XBOX and the GameCube did last generation...

It would be foolish to think that the Wii can lose this generation by now. The real debate would be if PS3 can beat 360... that I think it has a very good chance.

Surprisingly little opposition to the notion of the Wii having won this generation. What happened to all the fanboys?



thekitchensink on 14 January 2008

@ Fazz: OF COURSE IT COULD STILL LOSE! DON'T YOU KNOW MS IS SECRETLY PLANNING TO NUKE ALL OF 'TENDOHS FACTOREEZ????? IT'S TEH TRUTHZORZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Writing is on the wall. They can't say much given that the system has broken sales records across the board, has a LARGE lead in Japan and others and is quickly catching up with the 360 in North America. If you had told me before the Wii launched that it would match lifetime sales of the Gamecube before its second full year on the market was up, I wouldn't have believed it.

Could it still loose, yes, but it will take a major market shift to do so at this point.
