Forums - Sales - PS3 Slim and Wii Gap By January

welshbloke on 23 August 2009

Will never happen.

1. The gap is to great, it needs to sell 5 million in your time frame.
2. If it did sell anything like needed to make this a possibility guess what the Wii becomes cheaper and again why it will never happen.

umm i think the gap will increase... well thats what i think, it's gna be more like 6-7 million by sept 2010. As much as PS3 is gna do huge numbers with FFXIII, but the wii has a wider llibrary going on right now and it can sustain more in the long run. Lets not forget the Wii hasnt had a pricecut yet, it's effect can be very big indeed.

Still i think both consoles can be a success in japan just like the PSP and NDS. They both are different and unique. I mean hell, PS3 has FF and the wii has DQ. Expect both consoles to do good numbers.

But saying that PS3 will reach wii by sept 2010, ur expecting it to sell 7 million consoles in one year? a feat not achieved by PS or PS2? thats just insane and has no sense in it

^^^ 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.

 

So now you're thirty one and think you know the world?

I completely disagree with the TC on this (in fact I think its ridiculous what he predicts) but age isn't always a good way to measure maturity, its only an indicator. You can't just dismiss somebodies opinions because they are younger than you.

@cgi- hey, don't go around calling me peaceful, it tarnishes my Brooklyn attitude.

@rath - Actually, its a glitch in the site, Im 32. What I did learn over time is that everything I thought I knew, as smart I thought I was, I realized I know nothing. Once you admit you know nothing, you can begin to learn and see the world for what it is. Even the wise ancient philosophers viewed this -

"All I know is that I know nothing" - Socrates

"We know nothing, not even whether we know or do not know, or what it is to know or not to know, or in general whether anything exists or not" - Metrodorus of Chios

Thus, if I know nothing, then someone with half the life experiences as me must also know nothing. Therefore, it is a moot point for the ignorant to argue amongst themselves.
