Ok this becoming a bashing thread..

There are several reasons why I dont expect the wii to hit 50% market share in its life time, and I wont discuss it until E3.

Nonono! You already discussed it, it can't make 50% because GTAIV stopped Wiis from selling!

What exactly are you expecting at E3 leo?

Perhaps a big HD exclusive game will be announced that will sway enough gamers to prevent 50%?

Or more casual games announced for the Wii so you can argue that Wii is abandoning the hardcore which will have them flock to HD consoles? Or perhaps even the opposite where Nintendo decides to focus on core games which you can point to them abandoning the casuals which would cause sales to drop off?

I'm just wildly guessing. I do want to know though why you are still so determined the Wii can't hit 50% mere hours after you proclaim that unless things change before the Wii hits 30 million it will have won the console war?

Afer MGS4/TA4 there is no conclusive evidence to show the suddendly stop of the Wii sales due to a game, in fact looks like they only made the Wii stronger (j/k), so the only thing hat can kill the trend on the long term the Wii is the lack of serious support and the total give out of Nintendo...

Anyone has a link to the leo-j thread about GTA4 and Wii sales?

That thread was epic. The most epic topic I have ever seen here on VGChartz.

170k more?

to reach 5 mln. difference(x360+ps3) or 50% it will have to sell at this rate for 30 weeks. =))
But, x360 will getting a pricecut and PS3 80GB mgs4 bundle.

It might still reach 47-48% - that a good achievement for a CHEAP console =))) BUT, then it will drop, since PS3 will OWN. =]



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

Not sure I understand half of the first bit, but I kind of agree with what I assume are end of year figures... Wii should reach 48-49% by the end of the year.

You are deluding yourself with the last bit though, When the holidays are over Wii marketshare will go up faster than it did in the holidays (Wii holds out better in quiet times)
