Wii numbers in a week are more than how much PS3/360 have on average sold in US this year! 360 still outselling PS3 by a strong 24K.

 

Have you forgotten that the PS3 is 200$ more then the 360? 24K is terrible.

 

I'd be interested to see how many people bought a Pro, and how many people bought an Arcade with no hard drive.

That said, Nintendomination is so sweet. Anyone still think the PS3 will beat the Wii this gen?

 

well the market for wii is much different to ps360, so i highly doubt ps3 will edge wii in total sales LT mabey, but the nintendomination sweet thing i have to laugh about................. games?

ps3 will beat nintendomination in gaming.

No wonder there are alot more "hardcore" and quality games on PS360 then on Wii (if not counting Nintendos own games)

the games have been developed for 1-2 years before being released, W ii is just starting to catch up on quality games since most developers ignored the Wii the first 1,5 years.

not only ps3 but 360 also, i dunno why u are clutching straws but its clearly evident that ps3 and 360 games are far far better quality and offer far far better features and offer more to the gamer than nintendo.

of course nintendo offer to a gamer but the games they offer are jibberish imo, and cater to a different type of crowd

few gems in there sure, i love galaxy but thats it

Casual gaming is gaming too.

 

come on.....the wi holiday lineup IS terrible compared to the HD brother n sister...

so u mean you would prefer the wii and ds simply on the fact that it sells more? and makes more profit for nintendo(profits non of which go into your back pocket)

im sorry i have to respectfully disagree with you

the wii  DOES offer to a different gaming crowd than ps3 and 360 do thats a fact, you will not see any gears or resistance or gt5 or forza 3 on wii ds, the greatest games on ps3 and 360, wii has nothing to match them. its a different crowd they cater for.

i wont post anything on this topic in this thread again. its finalized wii appeals to different gamers than ps3 and 360

 

I liked how you grouped the DS in with the Wii. They aren't both casual consoles. The DS has an amazing lineup of 3rd party games, premier amongst them, Dragonquest IX, and Chrono Trigger DS.

Anyway, you say that I can't care about Nintendo because I don't get those profits?

It seems to me that PS3 fans are very content with Sony dropping 3rd party support completely, and the excuse is "they can't afford it and make a profit." A profit which will end up in the pockets of Sony at the expense of everyone who owns a Playstation 3. They feel their brand name can coast them into a profit without having to support 3rd parties, a short term strategy, but either way, my point stands.

I am happy for the company. Still best developers and console makers in the world, despite 3rd partys descriminating against them because of graphics. Whatever games the platform has on it, I still love Nintendo games, and I still think the platform is as solid as they come.

Either way, NIntendomination is here, and it's not going away. You think the Wii was a bad move....a failure...? I think that's insane. The Wii has been the largest success Nintendo has ever had...except for the DS.

Nintendo's only mistake has been creating the two best selling videogame devices at the same time, and not being able to make them fast enough.

You still hope beyond hope that the PS3 will beat the Wii because of some mythical 10 year lifecycle? Hang on to that hope.

Here's a look at the YOY:

Sales for the week ending Oct 27th, 2007:

Hardware:

ConsoleWeeklyTotal
147,999 (+12%) 5,755,458
129,506 (-1%) 8,026,439
122,859 (-12%) 15,614,809
75,083 (-6%) 9,698,924
44,070 (+54%) 2,204,858
39,224 (+2%) 45,232,138
14,767 (-2%) 41,029,877
520 (+9%) 12,706,930
Total 574,028

 

360 was still riding the Halo bump at this point.

Damm 360 was huge than and ps3 has 20k more this year.

 

 

What's more is that 360's YTD in '08 is now about 130k units behind where it was at this point in '07. Despite some great games and a price cut, Microsoft has failed to replicate that Halo surge. Unless something comes along to change that, 2007 might well turn out to be the 360's peak year in America.

 

 Gears 2 will probaly help.

I'm inclined to agree. The HD twins do have a stronger lineup of holiday releases.

The difference I see is that those holiday releases (with the notable exception of LBP) largely appeal to the same market who are likely to already own an HD console, while games like Wii Music and Animal Crossing are unique enough that they just might entice people who haven't bought into this gen to buy some hardware.

@Tbone

It might, but I think you'll find most of the people who want to play Gears 2 are people who have already played Gears 1 on their 360.
