Exactly.

And GTAIV, MGS4, GT5, FFXIII, Gears 2, Halo Wars, Fable 2, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, LBP, FF Versus XIII, etc. Will all be delayed indefinitely, and never come out, whilst the PS3 and 360 don't ever sell again.

How much are you expecting for the Korean launch? Millions? Billions?

The fact is that the Wii would have to continuously outsell the PlayStation 3 and the XBOX 360 combine for many many weeks for it to reach 50 %. It's going to go down this week, with the GTAIV launch.


 Why mention games like FF13 which is expected in 09 and GT5 and FF13 Vs which are not expected until 09 or 2010?

 NJ5 acts as if those games don't exist, and stand in the way of the Wii reaching 50% marketshare.  Whether they come out now, or in  two years, the games will be big.

 The games will be big but he said, "You bet your ass 50% will happen this year."  He was talking about 08 and not 09 or 2010.

But NJ5 said that the Wii would reach 50% market share in 2008, so these games don't need to be taken as reasons why the Wii won't hit 50% in 2008. Right?

lawl

They aren't the main focus of my statement.  The main focus of the statement was that there are lots of good games coming to the other two consoles, and he acts as if the PS3 and 360 won't sell any more units past this day, or fails to see that there are many games that will push consoles.  But I'll edit them, so we can go on about how wrong his statement is.

Okay, they're edited out now, let's talk about how all the games that I have listed will have no effect on sales of the PS3 and 360, and Wii will continue outselling them by a large amount.

2009 games don't matter for a prediction regarding 2008 only. I admit that my prediction is not certain, but it's plausible. The biggest unknown is Nintendo's intentions regarding Wii production, hopefully we'll know those in two days (fiscal report). At that point, it will become much clearer whether the Wii can achieve 50% market-share in 2008 or not.

The second biggest unknown is whether Wii Fit will be a big system-seller in Europe and USA.

 I agree that it is more about Nintendo supply than games.   There may be a way for Wii to reach 50% this year if Nintendo doesn't increase production but it seems more likely to happen if Nintendo increases production.

 About Wii Fit, it doesn't need to be a system seller in America, there is huge demand.  However, I agree about Wii Fit and Europe.

BTW, from what we know of the games coming after May, 360 and PS3 have better games coming out then Wii (at least in America).
