Mag
GOW 3
FF13 in Japan
YAkuza 3 in japan

 Wii sports resort trumps all of them

Sales-wise?

It'll outsell them all combined.

Quality-wise.

I don't know.

 

 Quality is subjective, and we are discussing which console 2009 belongs to which is a sales issue



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Why is it only since the Wii's dominance in the sales department, is the argument of sales not being important start to surface? Its like the N64 Fanboys and the PS1 fanboys switched positions this gen. During the N64 era I remember Howard Lincoln making the same argument PS3 fans are making now "quality over quantity" Both this and the "year of.." is nothing more than PR bullshit.



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.

Well, actually, this is in "Gaming Discussion", so I figured this was about gaming in general, so I didn't know if it was about sales or not. 

But I already conceded that the sales would outsell all the games combined (maybe not, but who knows), but yes, quality is subjective.  Hence the "I don't know".

And what if 2009 isnt the year of the ps3? Should ps3 owners wait until 2023? Or what?



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

oh sure now it's 09...this is getting amusing LOL

Fact is ps3 only has 9 AAA titles while 360 has 17 AAA titles. Yeah software wise 360 is better and that's not really an opnion. (ok maybe it is, but metacritic does not lie people)
