thx1139 on 24 November 2008

Last years numbers for the week prior to Black Friday.

Wii 280K
PS3 229K
360 197K

week prior to that (This corresponds to the week ending November 15th)

Wii 292K
PS3 159K
360 196K



So I expect something like the following:

Wii 700K
360 400K a little more than a 20% boost with Japan getting a bump.
PS3 210K a little more than last week, but Japan declining again.


Also I believe that with the ample supply available the Wii is selling at holiday levels already. I dont see a huge much bump week over week going forward. People have been picking them up already with an eye towards the holidays. Wii will still sell like crazy (shouldnt), but the 360 and PS3 will see bigger bumps the remainder of the year as a percentage.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I expect the DS to do 600-620k. Wii similar. When do the numbers come out, is there some sort of a schedule or just when ioi is ready and has time.

Nintendo has been manufacturing at 2.4 million per month for a while now. I think they have a pretty big stock pile as TheSource has reported, so the numbers for the Wii can grow quite a bit still.

i predict that the gap between 360 and PS3 will be 100K, not the double everyone talking about

I didnt say that they couldnt grow. I said they wouldnt grow.  Around Chicago for 2+ weeks I could walk into just about anywhere and just pick up a Wii.   Thats not saying that the Wii isnt selling. What I am saying is that people are not waiting to pick them up until after Black Friday.  They are getting them when they see them so they dont miss out this year.  Because of this I dont see the Wii going much higher than 700-800K per week (Still an incredible number).  While I see the 360 jumping as high as 700-800K one or two weeks this Holiday period.

I am going to keep it simple..... worldwide weekly sales of:

Wii   650k

360  400k

PS3  200k

I actually have no idea what the Wii may do, so I'll say whatever it did last week plus a bit.  But i do think the 360 will double the PS3 this week.

 

 

 I'm gonna say

Wii   651k

360  401k

PS3  201k

Will see who's closest!! :p

 

Haha didn't know this was Price is Right...

The US 360 numbers don't stray too far from the others region so yeah over 400k would be a given.

I think the Wii will be closer to 700 and the PS3 around 230.



bigjon on 24 November 2008

Wii- 820k
360-410k
Ps3-285k
DS- 1000k

We already know Wii is at 410k in others, I can see 80-90k in Japan and around 300k in NA.

360 very strong, has now hit its mass market price point I would believe. Price advantage will kill PS3 this year...



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Wii 925k
Xbox360 595k
Ps3 480k

The Wii did more than that last week.

All three of those figures are too low IMO.

Wii- 820k
360- 420k
PS3- 230k

and just because.

DS- 880k
PSP- 230k
