DQX says yes.

 

Good point. Considering how huge DQ is in Japan.

At some point yes.
In part because I believe that Sony will replace the PSP with something so different that it cannot be counted as the same machine before Nintendo does the same with the Wii.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

MH3 and DQX will do the job.

@atma: Remember that PSP still has KH, FFXIII and another MH in the works. It's not gonna be easy with the current sales the Wii is having.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

If it can't with by the time MH3 and DQX, then it won't ever pass the PSP. MH revitalized the PSP in Japan, and gave it a 2nd life........perhaps MH3 can do the same for wii.

The answer is no - PSP has increased the lead by more than a million in the last year alone.

If wii gets a consistent set of high profile releases: yes.



MANUELF on 15 March 2009

I think yes, the PSP is already four years old.



Arius Dion on 15 March 2009

Absolutely.



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.

Eventually. Price cuts, new colors, key titles, etc...

Though they will probably end up relatively close in total sales.
