You're ignoring Japan then? Then the WW (non-Japan) market share is

Wii:  46.4%

X360: 32.7%

Ps3: 20.7%

 

So then it is (without Japan) feeding a bit more on the Ps3 than on the 360. Still, that might not be the case when Japan numbers come in. You shouldn't do WW without all numbers in you know :P

 

The Japanese people are so quiet its like they don't exist.

But for the most part the numbers will stay relatively close to that, because Japan is about as important to the home console market as the U.K is, probably less so now.

 



Tease.

What recession?

 

the wii sells when their are games, no games, game droughts that last for months, economic crash, the damn thing is immune to all.

I don't understand it, it's the console with the least features, the least functionality, the worst graphics, crappy online, laggy controls and yet people buy it up...it defies logic, it makes me question these people...

 

People keep buying it because most people don't give a crap about what you just said.

@leo-j

The Wii has way better graphics than the PS2.

 

lol, no

lol, yes

least features - people don't care

worst graphics - see previous generation

crappy online - not

laggy controls - not

 

crappy online - yes, friendcodes are crap, it's not even a universal friend code as each game has a different one, there are all the exploits people find in online games which break the fun and no patches to fix these issues insight as it doesn't support it, I'd say it's crappy when compared to PSN and Live

Laggy controls - yes, it's not 1:1 controls, as admitted by nintendo hence the wiimotion plus which gives 1:1, so if it's not 1:1 then there is some lag

 

So, i'd say i was right on the money :D

 

1:1 or not is not about lag, it is about if the thing can handle COMPLETE motion detection.

50% by the end of the year.

Hopefully...

not likely

The difference is only 1.65 million, and getting smaller 3 times a week (when each regions' sales numbers come in).

It's just question of how fast they can build them, how fast they can ship them, and how many they've been stockpiling in advance for just this purpose.  Anything they can put in a store by the end of the year will sell.

The gifts to give this Christmas are the Wii, Wii Fit, and Mario Kart Wii.  (And as always, the DS.)

figured as much, people are sheep :<

 

Yeah. As much as I love the Wii, the reason people buy the Wii isn't the things I love about it. That sounds a bit odd really...

 

I can't really figure out what made it so dang cool in the first place though. Did the "family concept" take off at once?

 

In the land of sheep, the Wii fails to make an impact. I think your assertion is DEAD WRONG. Mr name with lots of V's and Y's is correct.

 



Tease.

@jake_the_fake1

The same could be say about the 360 and PS3.

Why some people chose the PS3 as their HD console when the 360 has more aclaimed games compared to the PS3, better online play compared to PSN, better services and features, a larger gaming community and equally graphical quality at a lower price?

He is trying to say the wii isnt WAY more powerful than the ps2..

The xbox was what twice as powerful as the ps2? The wii is as powerful as the Xbox.

 

 What are you talking about leo-j? Wii is way much powerful than Xbox.



Lolcislaw on 22 December 2008

Wii selling a million in a week WOW just wow! 50% is a matter of days now, hopefully the surge of sales will continue in Japan and Wii can start selling properly there. 50 million should come soon as well.

About software i want to see what sort of monster sales did Mario Kart Wii
