I think he should bet his modship on it. Put his money where his mouth is.

yeah, it's very interesting that these lines are comprised entirely of late teens and twenty somethings. It would seem there is now picture proof that there are a substantial number of non kids/elderly that have wiis.

im pretty sure the line is probably split 60/40 for SSBB and DMC4.

Oh really? You're pretty sure? Would you like to make a one week ban bet for first week sales? I say the split will be greater than 60/40 in favor of SSBB. Is that a bet ssj12?


 fkusumot.. thats a risky bet you have made there..... very risky

 I know. I'm willing to take the risk. I realize it could go either way.

28 SSBB and 5 DMCs. 15 % are DMC, can the total sales recall that? 600K SSBB and 100k DMC doesn't seem that unlikely...

Currently the Wii enjoys a much larger instalbase for Japan, I think retailers expect to sell many DMC4 PS3 hardware bundles as well.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

Was that a DMC4 PS3 bundle? I don't remember news on that....



The_vagabond7 on 31 January 2008

yeah, there is a special DMC4 PS3 bundle. I don't know any real details though.

Bundles don't help all that much past a week or two. See HSG5, Gundam Musou, etc. which were bundled.



Fastrabbit09 on 31 January 2008

remember ssbb is supply constrained, which is the only way dmc4 will get 40% to ssbb's 60%, which even still is unlikely

if u go by the first TWO weeks of sales to give ssbb time to get more supply, then it'll be 90%+ easily

in first week it should still be 75%+, but it all depends on how many ssbb actually got shipped



Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07  CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp

The suspense is over.


ssj12 regretfully declined to participate in the ban bet. Intense drama averted!
