ioi Speaks. I did wonder why last weeks number were changed dramatically. So much in the 360's favour. I mean it beat PS3 in Other Europe. That's weird, and that is Last weeks numbers.



Hmm, pie.

Guys just to clarify, we had been seriously undertracking Wii and 360 (and to a small extent DS and PS3) in some of the smaller Euro countries for a few months now so adjustments have been made...

 

Hey ioi, how come the current total console numbers add up to 100.1%?

Talk about expanding the market!



WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

Nintendo leaked some PS3/360/Wii EU sales numbers a few days back. That's whay VG is reevauluating some sales figures.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Xbox 360 is the leader.
Hardcore gaming.

Microsoft, it's BIG.
360 = the new PS2.

 

ummm Wii = PS2...

Sorry. Wii is not for hardcore gamers.
I don't even know why the Wii is called next-gen. This gen is all about HD.

360 = the new PS2.

Wii = the new Powerglove.

 

Wow, where to start

 

Probably with your simplest error to correct.

 

This gen is all about being released on or after the date of release of the Nintendo DS, and, well judging from the sales of the DS and Wii, I would say this will be a gen remembered as the one where innovative consoles, controls and games were met with greater success than graphics.

 

Secondly, the PS2 was casual

the GC had the hardcore Nintendo fan

the xbox had the hardcore shooter fan.

 

This gen, the Wii has hardcore nintendo fans and the extended audience, the 360 has hardcore shooter fans and various other, the PS3 is relegated to the position the GC had

 

I have to disagree with you there. The PS2 was not a casual console. It was an everything console. The enormous variety of its game library catered to all gamers, it was cheap and accessible. Hardcore gamers enjoyed it as much as casuals did. It may not have had the casual appeal of the Wii, but it certainly had more than its opponents.

However, the X360 is not this gen's PS2. In terms of sales, the Wii is. These would have been embarassing sales for the PS2, in fact. Half the price of its competitor and only winning by 10k sales?  By this time in the gen, the PS2 was destroying its opponents, much like the Wii is now. Even if the X360 is the current best selling HD console, it's not a scratch on the PS2.

Agreed.  Wii is closest to PS2 in terms of sales although I don't think it matches it library.  360 is better than Xbox but still actually pretty weak compared to the bar set by PS1 and PS2 - PS3 is very weak next to that benchmark.

IMHO the two HD consoles have been splitting the more hardcore gamers/former PC gamers switching to console while Wii hoovers up everyone else.

 

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

 Kinda feel sorry for Sony. Because even with a slight increase possibly for LBP. Gears 2 is out friday. I am expecting a slight moderate increase to 360 numbers in others and US even more than this week. Seems the 360 gap is just going to increase to the end of the year.
