Forums - Sales - Who will sell more in 2009 for Japan, PS3 or Wii?

PS3 because of GT5  and FFXIII releasing in November (I have a strong feeling GT5 will release in time to celebrate GT2's 10th Anniversary and GT4's Fifth Anniversary) and December.

It's not even really a Nintendo Vs. Sony! thing, lol. 

Nintendo has bigger fish to fry, they need to get the Wii sales back to where they were earlier in its life cycle and continue with what they had started there. 

That's a much bigger prize, I don't think Nintendo is looking at Sony at all. 

When you want to go forward you don't look in your rear view mirror for directions. 



Wii will sell more because Iwata said they have system selling software to announce at E3

What We Know:
Wii Sports Resort
PunchOut

What We Don't Know but could be coming:
Wii Fit Plus
Kirby Wii
Pikmin 3
more?

Wii easily.

They are about equal YTD now, with StreetFighter 4, Yakuza 3, Resident Evil 5, Mosou and the FFXIII demo for PS3.

Wii has:

Wii Sports Resort
Monster Hunter 3
Samurai Warriors 3
Tales of Graces
And the inevitable big holiday title

And some small JRPGs that should keep up the sales, like Arc Rise Fantasia, Little King's Story, Kizuna and Valhalla Knights

PS3 has left:

Final Fantasy XIII
...
...
End of Eternity
Tales of Vesperia (port)

 

You're leaving out a lot of PS3 software, and the biggest factor of all, the price cut

Price cuts generally don't do a whole lot in Japan. Hardware bundles/new colors do though, but I think you'll see Nintendo also bring new Wii colors and maybe even hardware bundles themselves (not exactly hard to pull off). 

The whole list wars thing is stupid anyway ... these boards always get preoccupied with that and then in the end one game like Wii Sports shows up and renders all that moot. 

Wii's sales will probably increase not because their list of software is super terrific wacky awesomer than PS3!, it will increase because they're actually releasing games for the system again.

I believe one is a JRPG, and the other is a fighter
