Forums - Sales - PS3 Slim and Wii Gap By January

Its obviously that the PS3 will have better sales, but i doubt surpases the Wii sales.

Not really. If the PS3 does gets competitive with the wii in Japan it would probably be in the same situation the DS, and PSP are in. Every week a different one wins.

Wii - 8.44mill
PS3 - 3.33mill

A 5.11mill gap, that's A LOT! The PS3 has some REAL catching up to do here. As I said, maybe it'll get closer by Sept 2010, like maybe closing it to 2mill. However there will still be a gap, and the Wii will still be the one ahead.

 


You need to study the charts a little better.

Nice graphic. It only lacks time frame, other than that 5 stars.

 

LOL

Could be, but i was talking abopur worldwide sales. In Jap, the PS3 already has good sales.

Let me guess, you couldn't wait to post such nonsense just to see what kind of reactions you got. This here is the EXACT reason people are celebrating the Slim, nonsense like this...

If you're going to try calling me a fanboy or a troll, first pay attention to my game collection. I own QUITE a few games for Sony systems.

Just what I've listed on this site:

PS2 (22) :


Art of Fighting Anthology


Capcom Fighting Evolution


Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King


Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Vol. 1 (American sales)



Grand Theft Auto: Vice City



Katamari Damacy



The King of Fighters 2006


Kingdom Hearts



Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty



Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence


Mortal Kombat: Armageddon



Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance



Mortal Kombat: Deception


Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks


Okami


Soul Calibur II (JP weekly data)


Soul Calibur II (All regions data)


Soul Calibur III


Tekken 4


Tekken 5


The King of Fighters XI


Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution

 

Besides all of that, I've been attempting to win a PS3 on eBay for quite a while now.

The point of the chalkboard is to point out that PS3 fanboys constantly, with every "major exclusive", insist that it's going to turn things around for the PS3. And really, it's true. I don't know who threw Obama and Gran Turismo 5 on there, but as for every other crossed out game on the list, this has rung true. EVERY TIME, fanboys have insisted that it was going to be the "second coming" for the PS3, and EVERY TIME, the game passed by without making a tremendous impact. Yes, they're good games. No, they're not anything incredibly special or U_N_B_E_L_I_E_V_A_B_L_E.

 

ps: I'm still not sure why SoulCalibur II is on that list twice. I own the game itself three times, but not for the same system.

A. I don't call people trolls and "fanboys".

B. Show me those PS3 "fanboys" that always claim that PS3 exclusive are going to change things for Sony, show me....

Otherwise, as usual, it's BS.

By telling me that "I couldn't wait" to post something "for reactions" is calling me a troll, and, by proxy, a fanboy. And to argue against that would be to entirely ignore what a "troll" is by definition.

Additionally, try paying attention to the past THREE YEARS, when EVERY SINGLE ONE of those games has been announced/updated/neared release/seen its release. Every single time, threads pop up all over the Internet, including here at VGChartz, trying to say PS3 DOMINATION IS HERE. I don't NEED to "show them" to you, because it's EVERYWHERE. Open up the Internet. You'll see it. It's ENTIRELY about overconfidence.

Nobody ever said it was about the entire community. It's just the very hardcore fans that push their views in fifteen threads every day.

Well tell me, what do you think the gap will be by Sept 2010? I believe my analaysis is closer to what will happen, but we'll see I guess. There's always the possibility that you or I may end up incorrect/correct.

Honestly CGI I agree with what your saying but I think that 1.5M behind the Wii by Sept 2010 might be a lil optimistic. id say it will be behind the Wii by like 2M

If you are talking about worldwide sales, then no. The PS3 would not be anywhere close to Wii sales after the initial boost.



Rol is correct about the blackboard.

Slim has been added to the list because of the endless predictions of Ps3 dominance, much of which are in this thread.

Here are some numbers for you.

If PS3 sales were increased by 500% in Japan by the Slim, and the Wii stopped selling completely. By Sep 2010, there would STILL be a 2.5 million Wii lead.

keeping a 500% increase, and the Wii only sold 1/3 of what it is now, the gap would still be over 3 million.
