wow, there you go the magic with alligned launches.

You guys that are the masters of alligned launches can you tell me if Wii has over 50% marketshare with alligned launches and if so how much it is?

Going by this: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php

The sold, ~ 130 weeks after launch is:

Wii: 51.01M - 54.7%

Ps3: 22.47M - 24.1%

X360: 19.69M - 21.1%

 

I wouldn't put too much into the alligned launches though.

 

And Rafi, it's ~ 100 dollars vs ~ 400 dollars, isn't it? And which one is making more profit?

Wii Fit is $90...and it requires a $250 system...for a total of $340...and you can also get a PS3 for $400...and one of them is a bathroom scale, while the other is the future of digital entertainment.

 

Just sayin'.

I don´t put any weight in alligned launches at all, it´s just that I suspected as that Wii would be over 50% if the did alligne them and it would be nice to use it against those that use the aligned launches excuse.

Oh, I didn't really put that there for you. It's just that I've been quoted into other threads before, using the data I present incorrectly. This has given me a few problems earlier (or rather, give troubles to multiple people), so I try to make it harder to misunderstand.

Hmm, not very well written. It's not there for you, but for the "not-so-clever" people.

Still thank you for doing it.

First, I'm going to assume this is your way to rationalize why a Wii game outsells your beloved PS3.

Then I'm going to find it to be the most pitiful attempt at that I've seen in a long while (why can't a FREE game such as Warhawk or Home outsell a $100 game?).

Last but not least, I will note that you even managed to get the facts wrong.

 

Wii Fit is very interesting to me because it's such a huge success. It sells like no other game I've ever seen, and except for the original Pokemon game it's going to be the most sold not bundled game VGChartz has ever tracked. It even has an outside chance of beating that pokemon game. It certainly is the most defining game of this generation, and it's being scoffed at for not being a game. It's success, bringing an entire new audience to gaming, is ignored by gamers as irrelevant because of it. It makes the gaming community look terribly narrowminded.

So, we've already got the 'The PS3 is expensive, so anything cheaper than it's ridiculous pricetag doesn't count" and "Doesn't count, they're 'non-gamers' ", plus good old fashioned "PS3 will sell a bajillion copies once the slim is released next week"

Can we get a "RECESSION! IT'S A RECESSION!" to round out the PS3 fanboy justifications to why the 'greatest game console of all time' is being beaten by a bathroom scale?



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

Where can I get Warhawk free?

Don't think Wii Fit+ will be replacing the Wii Fit with the balance board.
