Forums - Gaming Discussion - Will the Wii ever outsell the PS360?

NJ5 said:

Let's look at this objectively, in ~6 month increments:

January 5 2007: Gap = 6.21 million
29th June 2007: Gap = 5.19 million
January 4 2008: Gap = 5.58 million
Today: Gap = 5.12 million

(I hope I didn't screw up, it was a lot of numbers to add and subract)

The gap has gotten smaller, but has been more or less stable for a year. However, Nintendo is on the verge of bringing additional production online.

If production had kept up with demand, the Wii would probably have overcome the gap already.

 

If production HAD kept uo with demand, it probably would have done 2x the 360/PS3 combined by now.

Unless something interesting happens(which is still possible), then the wii is likely to eventually outsell them.

Nope.Current trends aren't indicative of future trends.The PS3 shows any true potential of outselling the wii on a weekly bases,as shown last week.Could the Japanese market lean more toward the PS3 as the games they adore release? Only time will tell.I believe that Japan was the deciding factor last week.

Well as soon as more of these Japanese oriented games come out,people will maybe decide to pick up a PS3.Right now,their as hungry for appealing games as PS3 owners are for JRPGs.They don't have any desire to pick one up over a wii right now.
