1.8 *12 is 21.6 right? Is that their fiscal shipment? cause they haven't even sold that since launch.

hey if you guys want to disparage my comments as BS or damage control that's fine, go ahead and ignore how it shows the weakness of PS3 and 360 demand, and how those beliefs in HD taking over, or GTA4/MGS/FF pushing the other consoles past the Wii are ill-founded

LOL.  I <3 the damage control.

Don't talk about how the Wii has been outsold, instead focus on thrusting your opinion of the HD consoles on us... LOL.  You are one of a kind, and you do give Wii Fanboys a bad name.


 I thought that they already had a bad name ?


LOL a worse name.

 They haven't been producing 1.8 for 12 months yet, they started at 1 million, then bumped up to 1.2, then 1.8



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Never said yor comments in this thread are BS, things in your sig and other comments you have made are BS. I never said anything in this thread was.


Predictions that haven't been decided as accurate or not cannot be BS

LOL. I <3 the damage control.

The Forums are for giving opinions, and what I said was not in any way inaccurate


 Even granting your predictions your other posts are still BS and you give the rest of us a bad name.  Stop making excuses for the Wii.  It is an awesome system that is dominating and doesn't need blind fanboys like you making excuses for low sales and such.

I think this week will prove even more interesting for the Wii vs PS3 war.

PS3 will get a huge bump from the HD-DVD death(Finally) and all the interest generated by GDC

Wii on the other hand will get a bump from actual shipments and all the interest generated by GDC

I think we will get huge numbers, like 150,000- 200,000 each. And perhaps the PS3 will edge out the Wii. That would be historical. Worst case, Wii gets no shipments and PS3 runs away with a huge uncontested number.

Unfortunately for MS, it's looking that it's going to finish a distant 3rd by the end of the generation. Wii remains a beast in all markets, except maybe the hardest of core, and PS3 has become the HD console of choice in Japan and Europe, and now it looks like America. This ofcourse is MS' fault. They have way too many Arcades and legendary packs in the supply chain and not enough of the SKUs people want.

In 2006 I predicted a close 33% split between all 3 makers with Wii favored to win, but now it's looking more like 45/35/20 with Wii ahead FTW and 360 behind FTL.
Even if PS3 wins WW by a large margin (which I believe it will, putting a "maybe" on the "large") America will still be a hard-fought struggle. I would be very surprised if PS3 does more than tie 360 lifetime sales in the USA.

Also, I don't think that the effect of Blu-ray's victory will be that dramatic. It might add up to an awful lot over time but no huge bumps (beyond possible short spikes at key announcements like just happened).

 I agree with you Final Fan. But if PS3 does tie 360 in America that puts it in 2nd place WW by a fairly large margin (I'm going to stick by my +15% prediction until more info is available). 

Also, the Blu Ray victory isnt going to win the console war, but I do think we may see a pretty good bump this week, atleast one that is strong enough to compete with a typical NA Wii week (100k+). I also think the Blu-ray victory could cause PS3 demand to grow slightly on a weekly basis for the life of the generation.
