Oops..

Not including handhelds the PS3 will be #1 this year, so no, it won't be a Nintendo console...unless Ninty buys Sony.

I don't think you understand the question ...

While we could argue whether the PS3 will outsell the Wii U on a yearly basis, I think it is foolish to assume that the Wii U can't pass it for 1 week of the year.

Consider Japan, the week New Super Mario Bros. 2 came out for the 3DS it saw a sales increase of 353% compared to the previous week and the Japanese sales alone nearly doubled the next best console's worldwide sales that week. The Wii U will have good weeks where it will sell substantially more than the average sales for any other console on the market, and it is foolish to assume that the Wii  U's good weeks will always be balanced out by a good week for another console.


Oh shit, yeah I misunderstood the question. Wii U will probably have a few weeks at the top



PS360's yoy drop will only hasten after successors are announced. The time between E3 and through the first holiday season (when PS360 will boost back up for a last gasp, while Wii U hopefully does respectfully and Durango/Orbis are supply-constrained) should be good for Wii U, and 3DS could have some good times ahead if Pokemon is really in the making



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

What makes you think X360 will do that badly?

Wii U could potentially lead in the weeks leading up to or not too long after the launch of PS4/720, if they come out at all this year, because those launches will affect PS360 sales.

Unfortunately for the Wii U I don't see any big system-selling games coming out for it until the holidays. Hopefully Nintendo has a decent lineup to announce at E3.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I think the Wii U will be #1 overall this year, for home consoles of course. Just look at some general numbers:

PS3 sold about 12 mil, 360 about 10.5 mil this year, and both are decreasing. In 2011 the PS3 was over 14 mil. I expect in 2013 it will be at 11 mil max, more likely 10 mil. This is without the launch of its successor. If the PS4 launches, PS3 could fall to 9-10 mil or so.

Wii U is currently tracking much higher than PS3 and 360 were at launch; 360 sold 6.8 mil in its first full year, while PS3 sold almost 8 mil in its first full year. It's not unreasonable to expect Wii U to sell over 8 mil in 2013.

Now, the other side of the spectrum: the Wii, which the Wii U is tracking very slightly under, sold 16.5 mil in its first full year. Of course, it's ridiculous to expect the Wii U to keep pace with the Wii this way. However, if it sells midway between the PS3 and Wii did in 2007 (not an outrageous prediction given Wii U launch sales), it will sell about 12 million hardware in 2013. Even if it falls slightly short of that, it still stands a good chance of beating PS3 and 360.



i think wii u will be the top weekly home system in a few weeks and will be #1 for the year.
