Forums - Nintendo - What will happen when/if the Wii reaches 50% or more marketshare?

[test]



Around the Network

Rubang will create a thread based on it, DMeisterJ will post about how old the joke is getting, and Rol will respond to DMJ with a witty and oh so blunt remark. Business as usual.



"The Wii dominates in both hardware and software each week, and yet some people constantly feel the need to create artificial new goals the Wii must reach."

People like to have a plan, it's nice to have a plan. It's all part of the plan.

50% doesn't mean every dev suddenly loves your console and makes every game for it... theoretically most devs should have moved over already... but they haven't, why? i hear you ask. Nintendo first party games are almost impossible to compete against.



End of 2014 Hardware Predictions (03/03/14)

PlayStation 4: 12-15million

Xbox One: 7-10 million

Wii U: 8-9 million (Changed 01/04/2014 from 7-9 --> 8-9 million)

it will get more support

Fair enough. I like your plan, man. It makes me want to gets out in the rays and get a tan. Unfortunately, I got pulled into a random battle by some Flan. Luckily, one of my characters was Fran. Once we got hurt, we all had to jump in my van. We were all so hot that I went and turned on the fan. We got tired of water, so we brought some soda cans to Sudan.

 Maybe that's why Nintendo doesn't have new titles out every month to make some room for third party. :P

 

I don't think 50% will do that much, but every step higher then 50% will be hard to ignore for publishers and devs.

Wii is 5 mln. behind x360+ps3.
with 200k > x360+ps3 per week it will need 25 weeks or till the end of the year.
with 100k > x360+ps3 per week it will need almost 1 year.

Since 2009 Wii won`t have chance to outsell x360+ps3 in most weeks.

Till 2009,

PS3:
1. Resistance 2 - FPS
2. Little Big Planet - Inovation
3. Socom Confrontation - TPS
4. Afrika - Relaxing
5. Valkyria Chronicles - TRPG
6. Motorstorm:Pacific Rift - Racing
7. Naruto: Ultimate Storm - Fighting/Adventure
8. Disgaea 3 - TRPG
9. Siren New Translation - Horror
10. Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty - Platfrorm

x360:
1. Gears 2 - TPS
2. Fable 2 - RPG
3. Banjo Nuts and Bolts - Racing/Platform
4. Tales of Vesperia - JRPG
5. Infinite Undiscovery - JRPG
6. Too Human - ARPG
7. Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise - Family
8. Naruto: Broken Bonds - Fighting/Adventure
9. Race Pro - Racing

PC multiplatform games:
Agency - MMO TPS
Left 4 Dead - TPS
Last Remnant - JRPG

These games probably will boost sales.
What have Wii till the end of 2009? Only few games.



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

@CrazzyMan: Please, we all saw what happened when the biggest HD game came out. That's GTA4 in case you need a little reminder ;)
