Forums - Sales - PS3 Slim and Wii Gap By January

rafichamp said:

What do you guys think the gap between the ps3 and wii will be by January 2010. This is including Final fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo 5.

My prediction, the gap will be 2.8 million, with the PS3 over-taking the Wii by September of 2010.

 

Tell me what you guys think.

DISCUSSSSSSSSSSS

 

IN JAPAN 

 

I (and probably others) would take your predection much more seriously if you could name an instance of any console in history that (in any region) sold more units in its fourth year than it did in its first three combined.

 

I can think of a very similar instance where no difference was made. Gamecube cut its price and released two of Nintendo's biggest franchises in 2003 (MarioKart and Zelda). GC got a bump, but when that bump ended it slipped into oblivion.

Wii is ahead by 5 million in Japan. Thats ALOT of cathing up to do. By Sept 2010 the gap could decrease to 3 million.




My guess: by January 2010 the gap will be more or less exactly where it is now, with the Wii continuing to rebuild its domination over the 360 going forward.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

LOL PS3 overtaking the Wii? This is a joke thread, I assume

This video explains what's going on in this thread, I think.

PS3 will close gap by 2.5 mil by Dec 2010. Then DQ X will launch in 2011 and we'll be right back where we began.

The gap will close very little. If close any at all.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

By January the gap will still exist, thus the excuse of price will no longer be a reason.

When all excuses are gone, then there will be peace. Vgchartz posters will go outside and smell the morning air and go ""Wow it feels nice to finally accept Nintendo won. No more pointless arguments on the net for me.""

Then they will go outside....

Then they will truly live.

^^^ I dont care what region we're talking about, it's a silly thing to suggest. You are suggesting that in the next year, not only will the PS3 sell 2.5 times more than it has sold in the past 3 years, but will sell over what the Wii will gain from now until then on top of that.

The only way something like this is even feasible is if Sony drops PS3 price to $99 in Japan.

You're being delusional, admit it.


EDIT - Oh, God. I just realized Im arguing with someone that Im over 2x older than. Moving on.

Come on, you could have made your point without being so condescending. It shows a lack in a debate when you have to insult someone vs arguing the point at hand. Frankly, I agree with your thoughts on the PS3 vs Wii situation. However, you were better off without the extra condescending remarks.

I could have, and it wasn't so much designed as an insult, but more of a realization that I was taking the OP serious. I was once 15 and thought I knew the world. Hell, I was once also 18, 21, and 25 and thought I knew the world. Until you've lived for 10 years after your college years, you really haven't understood anything, and once you reach that point, you'll realize that life really starts in your 20s, and anything prior to that may as well be discarded as if it never happened. It's not designed to be insulting to anyone thats in their teens or 20s, it just is how life is.

There's so much experience occuring from 20-30 that looking back on it, its a complete overload. In essence, no matter how much you say you know, no matter if you argue until you're blue in the face, you're really just green behind the gills and lack the experiences to really grasp much at all.

Rafi and to all PS3 fans, There is no fight with the Wii, it's not happening. The gap is bigger than what the PS3 has sold. Stop it, please. This types of threads are used to show how PS3 fans said this and that a year from now.

I just want you to know that I appreciate you having dignity about the whole thing.

Well, I guss that's saying too much, since this doesn't show "dignity" so much as common sense.

Maybe rafichamp is a reverse troll!?



I say the gap is going to be 2.8 million.

Currently the Wii is only 5.11 million ahead in Japan - 2.8 million = 2.31 million

2.31 million/17 weeks (weeks remaining in the year) = ~136 000

The PS3 is going to start outselling the Wii in Japan by 136 000 units a week, starting next week, for the rest of the year.............
