No... I was saying Konnichiwa hates the wii.  His post about 240 million was sarcastic.  Note how he says that the Wii will destroy videogames.  I assume he likes videogames.

Finding new trends starts with observation, any time you are looking at a set of data you have a chance to spot something new.  Nobody ever said every data set is going to be interesting, but we have no way of knowing what new trends will pop up from a new look at data.  As for jjseth's example, it is irrelevant to us because we are looking at a macro scale, not a micro scale. 

The real issue here is not the thread's topic, its the complaints and whining.  If folks had just made objective predictions and done factual analysis this thread would have slid down the forums in a few days and nobody would have cared.  It's all of the trolling and flaming  back and forth that has turned it into a "problem".

Point blank, if you don't like what the thread title has to offer...don't open it. Or if you think its really that bad, report to it the mods.  Coming into the thread and whining, moaning, and bitching about it is called trolling and derailing a thread.  Which is exactly what has happened to this thread because fanboys went into meltdown mode over a sales comparison. 

Now please, unless you have something to add to the thread topic, stop posting.

I disagree here.  I think 360 and PS3 will get bigger X-mas shopping boosts.  Because, you know.  They'll be in stores.  I mean if the wii still sells out in some places in August, what's it going to be like come X-mas season?  Even if they do ramp up production?

I can see cost being a factor with the PS3 but i think it'll get another pricecut right before x-mas to clear out any remaining 60 gigs, and based on the fact that i don't think 80 gigs will move at the original price point.

It's pretty much what's stopping me from picking up one of the used PS3's at my local gamestop.  Well that and i'm moving into a more expensive place in a couple months.

Allow me to paraphrase: "I'm not a troll, you're the troll. You probably masturbate with your Wii and love it sexually."

Other posters have used the word "meltdown". I think it is appropriate here, at least as understatement.

I pity the fool who can't accept that the Wii is this generation's low-powered powerhouse.

Well this thread full of wall of texts tried and failed to read them all to many so i will just post my thoughts.
The Wii America total WILL overtake PS3 WW sales but i dont see why this would bother anyone all that matters is that PS3 are picking up sales and hopefully it will stay at 20k in Japan,around 30-40k in America and the same in Europe......hopefully if not oh well it shouldnt bother anyone here so everyone who is going into "meltdown" just calm down.(Meltdown is such a good word).

what really bothers me is that some of the sony fanboys seem to think that the playstation 3 is the only console that will ever have a price cut. "it will sell millions when it reaches £399" is a fanboy favorite.

So a question to all the sony fanboys:

what will happen when the wii goes down to $200 and then on to $150?

this month or maybe never. =)
ps3 makes worldwide ~80-100k weekly and wii ~90k in usa.

I was kidding.

Dodece for mayor!
It's like no one hears ya though.



JJSeth.
You get waaay too angry over these boards
So much you actually posted an apology if I remember!
Dude... relax.

From your recent post
"All it tells me is that you want to stroke your e-peen because you just love your little Wii so very very much and probably even cuddle with your wii in bed every night while gently stroking your Wii telling it how much you love it. Please, stop playing with your Wii so much, you just may go blind from the lack of HD graphics."

"E-PEEN???"
All I have to say is "e-peen" is a funny word

Would anyone know if there is a error in this weeks charts. The charts are showing a mere forty thousand unit difference now. I believe the consensus at the beginning of this thread was that the difference was eighty thousand units. Having done the math in my head I can see the console sales are almost identical with one another in fact the PS3 actually pulls a few thousand units ahead. So the margin should be growing not shrinking. Looking at the math I think that someone neglected to add in the other regions number to to total console sales. That would make the numbers match up correctly I think.

Interesting to see the next week. Which actually had the PS3 make up some losses in the others market. Even though it slipped in the Americas and in Japan. Given the trend in those markets could the statistics in Europe and other regions help to offset the losses, and allow Sony to limp into the holiday season. I projected a very minor loss this week. Without the slightly lower Wii sales, and the slight jump in the others region. Well I would have been pretty spot on in my reasoning. Which was a few thousand decrease in the margin rather then a few thousand increase.

Anyone have any thoughts on how the Other regions will effect the outcome?
