Well this pretty much confirms there won't be a big leap from this gen to the next and all 3 consoles will be cheaply priced casual friendly wagglefests.

Time to move to PC gaming after this generation.

I guess I'm one of those "hardcore" gamers that the Wii fanboys like to make fun of so much. They'll just have to excuse me for wanting more out of my games than anything the Wii offers at this time (and no, I'm not talking about graphics you one-note assholes).


 Well there's no need to swear, but just out of curiousity what are you referring to that you want more of that the Wii can't offer besides graphics?  Larger open worlds with more complex NPC interactions I'd agree with that the Wii can't match the other consoles....

43000 hardcore X360/Ps3 owners knew these numbers, and bought The World Ends With You, knowing that this would be the last game they played with enjoyment. My World Ends With You.

So what are you talking about?

I agree that the NPD numbers seem strange. This isn't an NPD vs. VGC thing either; all of the retailer info trickling in (and common sense) lined up with what we had here. Anyway, time will tell.

I think Sean Malstrom deserves a lot of credit, for not only predicting the Wii sales boom, but also predicting the hardcore meltdown that would follow. Honestly folks, calm down. Some of you take this way too seriously.

End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)

whatever sales are TODAY, ps3 will win. ))

and yes, PS3 Total VG numbers = PS3 Total NPD numbers,
while x360 VG has over 700k more and Wii over 600k more, then Total NPD.
So, yes, PS3 is still undertracked or x360/wii overtracked.



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

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far
