Forums - Gaming - Screen Digest: 2009 Will Now Be the Year of the PS3

Arius Dion on 25 December 2008

LoL! If I had a dollar for everytime I heard this, I'd probably be able to bail out the US auto industry myself.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

"Gears of War 2 was a favorite (fixed) among FPS fans"

Failure.


For it's first week of sales (and it's first week of sales was just a weekend), I'd say it's a safe call...

Yes CoD: WaW is great and is selling well, but GOW2 being an exclusive is holding it's own..

7 week of sales for both.

1st week sales.

 

 

Side note: The price of the New GOW2 Map Pack should have been free like a Holiday Gift... big mistake on MS & Epics part.

Gears of War is a third person shooter.

  • Early lead

    At the start of the year the Wii was way out in front in terms of an installed base with 20 million machines in homes. By comparison the Xbox 360 was in 15.5 million homes and the PS3 nine million.

    Analysts Screen Digest predicts that Nintendo will more than double its installed base of the Wii by the end of this year to 42 million, amplifying its lead over Sony and Microsoft.

     

    Piers Harding-Rolls from Screen Digest said Nintendo had enjoyed a "fantastic year".

    "The Wii has maintained its price and they gain a profit from every bit of hardware sold," he added.

    But a significant slowdown in sales in November and December in Japan points to a trickier 2009 for the company in which it may not enjoy the same blockbuster success.

    The picture in 2008 was mixed for Sony and Microsoft, he said.

    "The 360 and PS3 have performed fairly similarly, with just a few hundred thousand units difference over the year between them."

    Screen Digest predicts that the PS3 will have an installed base of 19 million by the end of 2008, while the 360 will have 24 million.

    "When we looked at the 360 at the beginning of the year we didn't think it was going to do as well as it has done."
