Forums - Sales - PS3 Slim and Wii Gap By January

I'm going to go the other way to most people and say that the Wii will increase it's lead by September 2010.

Sony won't even have produces/shipped enough to outsell Wii by a large enough margin in Japan to close the gap to those levels, even if Wii went back to



it will be around 4m gap in Japan.You wanted us to include FF13 and GT5 sales but most probably they both would release in DEC.If the release in November then the Gap could be 2.5m including the January sales

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 think that your prediction implies 250 000 units of PS3 sold every week even if Wii would stop selling. IN JAPAN!

 

I would say, a ~5,50 million gap would be more likely.



The OP's predictions are such a joke, it's not even funny. Even if he is talking about Japan only, the gap won't even be remotely close to depleted by 2010.

PS3 overtaking Wii in Japan by September 2010? Really? This is the kind of prediction where you should run the numbers before declaring it to everyone. I'd say if they close the gap by 200 000 it's a huge victory for Sony in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if the gap was bigger.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Negative Wii sales should take it down to about 3 million total in Japan by Japan 2010

PS3 should sell at least 9 million between now and then, for a total of about 12 million

All 360's will explode on Dec 31st 2009



The gap will be closed to 1 unit by September 1st 2010, with the Wii on the lead.

On September 2nd, the PS3 will be ahead by 38 million, sealing the biggest comeback in history.

September 3rd, Iwata is found eating Miyamoto and then throws himself off the Nintendo building, minutes before it collapses. A total of 10,546 people die in the incident, but Iwata is found 2 years later at Sony's buliding by a KGB agent and both die in a confrontation.

December 21st 2012, Rivers of Blood flood the Earth. It's the end of humanity. PS3 has sold by then 1 more unit WW than the Wii. Future civilizations will embrace PS3 as the Almighty.

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.

And we have a winner :)

 

OT: I think the gap will close (but Wii may increase it's lead when DQX arrives) but for PS3 to even come close to Wii I think that the slim, FFXIII etc must have godlike effects for PS3 sales, while the effect of NSMBWii, WF+ etc  will have to be NULL.



all I'm going to say is this even changing the sample size to japan only!, I want the stuff the OP is having. hell to a certain degree I want shit Tons(not Load) but tons of the stuff the OP is smoking. Its good to be high :)
