Never say never, and never predict anything you will regret.



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

MGS month? Cmon... Very likely that it will outsell it during the week, and maybe by a large margin..but for the month? Nintendo will have Smash MK and Wii Fit out in all 3 regions ( except for Smash in Europe ).

I don't actually know the release schedule for the PS3, except for GTA4. It should definitely sell more that week than the Wii. Once/if Nintendo ever gets supply issues under control, it'll get harder and harder to do.

Either way, it'll probably only happen on weeks of big releases, like FF13, GTA4, GT5, etc. But it won't be enough to continuously lift the PS3 over the Wii, and so it won't be enough to counter the Wii releases (which will also raise the Wii's sales), so the PS3 won't be able to reach Wii levels long term.

well probably this week will be huge for wii but do you think people will still be buying wii for brawl 3 months after release.....people will think that you are LATE plus Its mgs4 thats huge with worldwide release

 If that bundle is here to stay, I see it selling very well in that whole month. You don't have to agree with me, but just look for drop in PS3 sales number 2 weeks before the MGS4 launch, People will wait to get that bundle.

MGS4 week and GTAIV week are my best guesses if it ever happens. Maybe GT5 week too, that game is popular everywhere.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

 Have you ever seen the crow eating thread?  I know you're new here and all...but it contains a treasure trove of history and similar ravings from posters who had courage to grab a plate.



CrazzyMan on 03 March 2008

1st chance - GTA4 release(but i doubt).
2nd chance - MGS4 release(with a bundle, i am sure).
3rd chance - 299$ price(Unless GT5 or FFXIII come earlier).

Of`course it could be just in April(a month after SSBB), if it appears, that Wii is FAD. :)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

Looking at what happened to the previous week of big releases, I'm absolutely sure that IF the PS3 outsells the Wii it would be MAX for 1 week, the past has shown that not even with big releases the PS3 was able to top the Wii. I know the price is lower this time and this titles are bigger, but thats the reason im predicting just 1 week.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
