I'm sure Wii numbers may just be sub-100k next week. But given it's over 200k performance after only having sold 47k the previous week should denote that Wii demand is as strong as ever. And thus, there shouldn't be any "Wii = fad" rhetoric come next Tuesday.

Even with the Wii jump though, I am truly, truly impressed with the PS3. I never would've thought.

Can wait to see how this all plays out.

Wha'sup with the 360!?

 

Oh come on, haven't you noticed that the Wii = fad stuff is a joke, it's like "I blame Wii fit!"

 Perhaps you haven't met CrazzyMan yet?

No they don´t Sony doesn´t deserv shit, but the PS3 as a gaming console deserves it and even better sales.

hmm, I guess the 360 could have a shortage... defitely not a Wii esque sellout...



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Microsoft could be doing it for the publicity. You know, "the 360 is sold-out and can't meet demand". Makes it look like the popular console.

I keep hearing this but it doesn't make any sense. MS wants to sell consoles. Any customer who walks into a store and doesn't find an Xbox is possibly turned into a PS3 sale. MS loses out doubly on the deal. The person wanted their console, couldn't find it, and moved to the competition.

As someone who spent a fair amount of time working in advertising, it's a completely bass-ackwards notion. You want the hype and unfulfilled orders in the beginning of your product's lifecycle to maintain demand as you ramp up production, not in the middle of the lifecycle when the market is loaded with similarly priced competitors and your product's hype has already gone through its initial phases and is now selling on merit alone.

I am officially never betting on the Wii, because you never ever know what it's going to do. Good thing this wasn't a week for the predictions league, but in the future, I will never put anything aside from 5 bucks on it.

Go PS3, great sales, outselling the XBOX 360 in it's own territory. lol.
