Forums - Sales Discussion - LOL "Nintendo Wii to Displace Xbox 360"

ClaudeLv250 on 16 February 2008

They're basically parroting iSuppli.

I've never even heard of these people and yet they keep getting quoted and used despite how ludicrous their "predictions" are.

God you're dense. Read the article next time.

Actually by 2012 you will see sales of

Wii = 112.25 million
360 = 46.41 million
PS3 = 43.20 million
that's what you want to see, not what we will definitely see.
Perhaps, but the POINT is that kingofwale didn't actually bother to read the article or he wouldn't have written something that made absolutely no sense in the context of commenting on it. Additionally, he doesn't comprehend the meaning of the word "displace" because even the title has no relation to with his comment.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

OMFG look what I get when I type "iSuppli Wii 360" into Google!

The PlayStation 3 will lead hardware sales worldwide by 2011, research firm iSuppli said Thursday.

The PS3 had a tough time coming out of the gates, but the console has picked up a bit of momentum in recent months. iSuppli believes that momentum will continue to build in the coming years, making the current console war a tight three-horse race.

iSuppli said that in 2011, PS3 will reach an installed base of 38.4 million units, edging out Wii’s 37.7 million units and Xbox 360’s 32.3 million units in the same time frame.

PS3 would have 35.4 percent of the market share, followed closely by Wii with 34.8 percent and Xbox 360 with 29.8 percent.

In the nearer term, iSuppli expects the PS3 to nearly double its installed base from 10.3 million in 2007 to 20.3 million by the end of 2008.

The firm forecasts the Wii to take the top spot from Xbox 360 in 2008, with Nintendo’s machine hitting an installed base of 30.2 million versus Xbox 360’s 25.7 million.

“In this stage of the new-generation video game console market, consumers are showing they’d rather be entertained and pay less for their consoles than shell out more for the latest and greatest technology,” said iSuppli research analyst Pam Tufegdzic.


Why is anyone even listening to these retards? The site is acting up on me at the moment [edit: which is why I didn't spot that FishyJoe had made a thread about this already.]

Seriously, is even Diomedes this blinkered?

Man, videogames are doomed. The market will shrink drastically this generation!

Their X360 estimate for this year sounds pretty plausible, actually. But when the Wii hits their 2011 estimate later this year they'll probably just shrug and have another helping of magic mushrooms.

Wii will outsell both xbox and PS3, but it will never replace it.

You won't see PS2's last gen-ish domination, what you will see is close to 3 pilar of gaming. With Wii selling 80-100 million, PS3 60-80 mil (end of gen) and xbox 40-60 mil

God you're dense. Read the article next time.

Actually by 2012 you will see sales of

Wii = 112.25 million
360 = 46.41 million
PS3 = 43.20 million


I am  fascinated how the moderators have not banned you yet.

On topic:

Americans are biased to 360 we all know this.



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M
