Oh noes a Seece thread! Who cares who the author is? I think the 360 beating the Wii in US/UK is certainly something to be proud of for Microsoft. Though it's less of an achievement to beat the Gamecube and WiiU.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Indeed, Microsoft has done a great job in their two lead markets. I just hope they can at least maintain their marketshare in the US and UK this generation and improve their marketshare in Japan.

As for Nintendo, they really needed to get 3rd party support this generation, which they've largely failed to do. 3rd party games tend to be more important than exclusives in the US and UK from what I've seen. Hopefully next-gen they'll make the Fusion 3rd party friendly.

Well, we could very well see a much smaller gap in Japan this gen between Xbox and Nintendo. UK and US will get bigger as well.

It's a longshot but I'm hoping for 3-4m Xbox Ones in Japan. I'm expecting 5-6m Wii U's and 8-10m PS4's. 

No way! Japan home console market is contracting, and MS won't make as much effort there this gen. I expect no more than 1m, no more than 4m for WiiU, and 6/7m for PS4.

Do you really think X1 will sell 3m in japan? Seriously, no way in the hell. 360 did less than 2m releasing earlier than ps4 and it was cheaper. Not even the most optimistic Microsoft functionary is pointing so high.

*Looks at 360/X1 numbers in Japan*

I think its fair, congrats!

Yet Japanese support is likely going to be focused on PS3/PS4.

Ah well, thank god for the 3DS.

It's very well deserved.

Nintendo is crawling wounded and still trying gimmicks with underpowered offline machines. Microsoft at least has a proper console and online stuff.

So you do it because you sincerely hate Nintendo.


He doesn't hate nintendo that much (titles of last 40 threads made with Ninty in them) Hey we all got problems, mine was Betting Disorder

Seriously Seece (i spelled it right finally!!!) Calm Down, We already have Toastboy... Or did he leave?

 

Predict: Which will sell more in Q1 - Xbox One or WiiU? 5 Weeks to go! XB1: 527k vs WiiU: 326k

Nintendo have now lost the UK/US to Microsoft/Xbox all 3 times.

Nintendo loses lawsuit, must pay 1.82% of 3DS wholesale price to Tomita Technologies LTD

Predict: When will PS4 overtake WiiU? UPDATE: Overtaken February 22nd!

What's the point of no return for WiiU?

What do you think are Nintendo's realistic expectations/plans going forward with the WiiU?

Why do people still think XB1 is going to fall to WiiU levels?

Batman Arkham Knight not coming to WiiU. Warner slowing down support?

Which will go under 20k a week first? WiiU or XB1?

What sort of boost do you expect from Donkey Kong in the US?

Nintendo Ending Wi-Fi Connection Worldwide on May 20th

PS4 has overtaken WiiU Worldwide

Do you still think WiiU can outsell Gamecube? (US: Second January, GC: 81k Vs WiiU: 49k)

WiiU down YOY in every region, weekly sales are off

Prediction: WiiU won't hit 6m by E3.

Should Nintendo cut WiiU price to $199?

Why is the UK shunning 3DS/WiiU harder than elsewhere? (Virtually absent from top 40)

Nintendo won't hit their forecasts. How did they get them so wrong?

 

Has 3DS peaked in its first year in the US?

NPD: 3DS 1.2m for December?

PS4 > XB1 > WiiU for total 2013 sales!!

 

Edit: Pls dont banned me, im trying to make a point :)

 

That's quite the obsession if I ever saw one.



Nintendo and PC gamer

I don't hate Nintendo. And since when has this been about me? The thread (like every other thread I make) is on topic and usually sales based which is what this site is about. You do realise they just made it bannable to start whining and attacking the OP right?

Is that a threat?

Besides, you made it personal first.

Hey, he's right. He created a perfectly legitimate sales thread based on this site's data and asked for people's thoughts, you responded with counterpoints questioning the big picture significance of his facts, he said your post is unimportant not because X reasons but because "facts are facts tho (op) meaningless or not," thus effectively checkmating you, and now you're being petty by trying to get him to state some sort of purpose behind this thread beyond pointless chest thumping.

Be a gracious loser and admit that you lost, Rol. As for me, I too see no reason to have discussion about the meaning of data when data is clearly its own end. Go Xbox In UK/US for beating Nintendo! Rah rah rah!!!

You're derailing a perfectly fine sales thread, so yes at this point you need to contribute or leave. My threads are worthless click bait and flamebait ect, they're threads about sales usually centered around facts which is what this site should be about.


You should report him. We have a don't shoot the messenger rule around here, but this guy continues derailing your topic and saying you hate Nintendo.
