Can I just ask, how is Wii's bubble bursting when it's still out selling every home console? :/

I mean, if this is the end of the Wii's sales dominance and whatever, but it's still on top, what does it mean for the other consoles? 0_o.

 Ah, so the first one wasn't a prediction. Weak.

We won't know until the holidays if there was a such thing as a Wii bubble, if the Wii sells out, or comes close to selling out, then we will know its not just a bubble, but I expect Wii sales to remain at about the current level until the end of october at least, however late october early november I expect them to pick up

Ishy changed avatar!
also good look with your prediction Jim, personally i would triple the Wii list and take about 5-10 off the ps3 [havent looked at 360 but with the strength of it's games in US i doubt i would need to take any away]

No im showing reality, this forum is full of nintendo fanboys and they dont want to hear the truth, nobody has proved me wrong yet. The games ive listed are perfectly reasonable and nobody can argue a decent case for me being wrong. By the end of the year the ps3 will have sold over 8 million so selling over 500,000 pieces of software on it would only be a 6.25% attach ratio. Wii's non first party software has generally been poor compared to how well the hardware has been selling. 360 software has always sold great and that doesnt look like stopping anytime soon. I cant wait for people to eat crow round here whent he 360 and ps3 have more games rated over 80% from september to december as well has having more games selling over 500,000 than the wii.

Nintendo planned to watch their Wii sales plummet?

You see, between now and November they only really have Mario Galaxy coming out, and even all the way until Christmas there really isn't much apart from Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles.  I suppose there is chance some of the other 3rd party stull will sell OK, but I don't see any runaway hits there.  After all, even Dragon Quest Swords has yet to sell more than 500,000 even though you yourself said it would do so after two weeks on release...

 Are you making a prediction?

Come again?

A much smaller list.

You're forgetting 2 most anticipated 3rd party titles until november in the US, namely Zack & Wicky and Manhunt 2. And after that you're forgetting a Super Smash Bros Brawl, probably one of the most selling titles on the Nintendo consoles "ever".

Two things I think people are missing is:

1.  that even thought Wii sales have declined there are no signs that the Wii has been dramatically easier to find.
2. We're approaching the half year fiscal report for Nintendo and the Wii is creeping towards 12 Million units sold; at the same time Nintendo has announced unprecidented stock for the Wii over the holiday season which would imply either a dramatic increase in production or that they have stockpiled units. Personally, I expect that Nintendo will announce a dramatic increase in the production of Wii systems in their half year report and that these lower shipments were a result of lower manufacturing capacity while they upgraded facilities.

Here's your proof jimmay. 10% of wii owners are casual gamers. 10% of 10 million is 1 million. 1 million copies sold. Ta-dah! So at least 75% are core gamers so 7.5 million.
