Can ps3 or 360 sell a million in a week ww this year?

Can the wii sell 2 mill or more in a week ww this year?

Last year 12/23

Wii                                 360                              PS3

US         751k                 Us         382k               Us         235k

Others  462k                 Others   200k              Others   331k

Japan    250k                 Japan    8k                  Japan     56k

Total     1,464k                               590k                             622k

 

Some elements for this year as stated by TWRoO's thread Ten Week Countdown 08 (I'll have some #'s for u) the weeks lay out are odd this year we'll have Dec 20 and Dec 27 for peek #'s. I think the peak #'s will be spread out in those 2 weeks and Dec 20 will have the highest #'s since the week of the 27th will have 2 days of limited shopping.

I think it well look somthing like this

Wii                                 360                                    PS3

Us          970k                Us          480k                   Us          410k

Others   660k                Others    200k                  Others    500k

Japan    280k                 Japan     20k                     Japan     90k

Total     1910k                              700k                                1000k

I think no for the wii and 360 and the PS3 is going to be close i think there going to announce a 80gb bundle with lbp for US at the end of nov that will do the trick. Plus they came a long way since last year there system comes with DS3 now they will have HOME and way more AAA games than last year. The Wii could of made it if the weeks weren't odd and supply issues. 360 has not shown me enough with there price cut since its effects are starting to fade.

WW i see ps3's best week being about 800-850k, 360 about 700-750k, and wii about 1.8-2.0 million.



end of '08 predictions: wii - 43 million,  360 - 25 million, ps3 - 20 million

Don't know about 360. It will get a huge boost for Gears 2(best selling exclusive of the year ahead of MGS4) but that's in Nov... but LBP seems to be the game which will absolutely drive PS3 sales during the xmas period..could do 1 million in a week easy. Wii will do the same as it did last year.

The PS3 and 360 have a very slim chance at selling 1 million worldwide in a week. Sony has the better shot obviously, and could do it if they horded consoles for a certain week, but that doesn't make much sense in the grand scheme.

The Wii will have multiple weeks over 1 million, and has a shot at having 1 week over 2 million. Right now in my prediction I've got the Wii selling 2 million during the week of Christmas.



Thanks for the mention
