Here we go again with outdated graphics. Somehow i don't see the point when people said the same thing at the beginning of this gen. Along came GTA4 and what happened? Wii slammed everyone to the ground in May with around 60% market share in the US alone.
About Japan, i am more and more unwilling to believe that the japanese market will retain it's position from last gen. If things were otherwise, the japanese would swarm the ps3 making it the local market leader, yet we have not seen this. I strongly believe that the market has very much changed and only very craved games like MGS 4 can stand out for these hd consoles. Aside fom that we have the Wii which because it is different than the others is able to maintain steady sales on an average level while the rest has to deal with very, i mean VERY poor sales throughout most of the year(except for times like now, when much wanted games come out).
And finally, saying that the Wii will slowdown is a no brainer, what matters is when this time will actually come. Japan is more than satisfied with the amount of consoles, Europe has partial issues during much anticipated game releases and holidays (so that means that not everything is in order) and in the US it's almost impossible to tell how big the demand really is. Proof? Check VGC and NPD data for May and April. Nintendo will very much likely be unable to meet demand this year in the US and it may turn out that it may continue unto 2009.
If that does happen....well, tough cookies for you HD console fans.
Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?
Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.
