WW LT console sales this gen?
Tough question, I'll say;
Wii: 100 million
360: 40 million
PS3: 70 million

And, for the record; don't even bother telling me how flawed my logic is Avinash, I'm so sick of you and your fanboy ranting. Always the same arguments and gloating, grow up or shut the hell up!

Its the same arguments because the same arguments remain true, PS3 is tracking below the PSP in every major market, its attach rates in japan mirror the PSP, and Sony seems intent on pushing it primarily as a blu-ray player, considering the PSP will likely top out around 40 there is no reason to believe PS3 will fare any better, in fact it is likely to stall out earlier.

 

Wii on the other hand is overtracking the DS WW, and considing the DS will likely surpass the PS2 , its unlikely that Wii will not


 But DS sales exploded in its second year. First year it undertracked PS2 a lot.

" If a person can afford WoW, they could afford a $99 Wii, when it launches there officially"

(Living in China)

I would have been able to purchase a copy of Windows Vista, 2 days after it's release for about 50 cents within a block from my house. As for where i could get a legitimate copy of anything, game or movie, i couldn't really tell you, never seen one.

80-90% of all games software and DVDs in China are pirated so a copy of WoW will set you back less than 1 US dollar, not $99. Most people here would laugh hysterically at you at the thought of paying so much for a game. Anyway, a large number of people play the game (WoW) in Internet Bars because they don't have computers in their homes.

China is still very poor, trust me on this and hence i can't see it having a large impact on console sales for this generation.



No grand predictions, i'm just looking forward to playing some good games on my Wii.
