But then another will own it, userbase maintained.

 

iSuppli, I destroy you with my childlike skills at the game of logic!

 

It's like iSuppli fails at a 10 Picrate puzzle on Laytons, after weeks of research. 

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I believe in negative 360 installed bases though! RROD ftw.



Zen, Hmm. You got me on that one.

I mean, even if we are to believe their graphs, the userbases (or active userbases I guess) are way low for so far into the generation, if there's any growth at least.

Actually, it's more likely the person who teases someone else about being gay is the gay one. Studies have shown that people who are classfied as "homophobic" are actually more often then not sexually aroused by gay pornography.

This should help in making further diagnosis about who is gay and who isn't. 

Seriously though.  Most console owners aren't  "real gamers" and i wouldn't call someone a "real gamer" if one platform filled their full need for gaming in a generation.



a year from now, when wii has over 20mil lead on ps3, will people still be making the argument that ps3 will take off and overtake the wii? will they just push it back a year to 2012?



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

I see nothing wrong with the article posted. You didnt really expect the Wii to satisfy a real gamer did you? Some Wii owners will get pretty tired of mini games and mario and uhm mario mini games and look for a more serious HD console.

So are saying that the PS3 isnt THE HD console of choice right now? Or that people who have a Wii now are just going to suck it up and go thier friends house to play GTA or CoD4 or FFXIII?


 You really think it will overtake the Wii?  And that Wii will actually somehow generate negative sales?



 

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)

News confirmed:

iSuppli employs only used concrete blocks and silverfish. Neither one has much in the way of what we like to call "common sense" or "prediction talent".

Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Someday, somewhere, people will stop underestimating the Wii.
