Lair will be big for the PS3. I dont mean big like 100,000 console sold but I think big enough for the PS3 to beat the Wii for one week atleast.

 Wait, this is lair we are talking about right?

The game that has been mocked for being the single most overhyped game since Daikatana? Why would that be big? o.O

Lair is a flying game. A bad flying game. Why would it be big in Japan considering it's a bad game in a genre that doesn't sell well?

I don't understand why people are concerned at *all* about the Wii numbers?

- its the end of the off season (holiday sales coming real soon)

- no big releases for Wii anytime recently

- Wii still (approx) = PS3 + PS2 + 360 (i.e. 50% of console sales)

...

The only thing that has changed, is PSP figures are up - thanks to the release of the slim.

Galaxy launches in about *3* weeks guys - that's not a long time. WiiFit 1 month later. NiGHTS, RE:UC, Mario&Sonic, yadda yadda...

If Galaxy does badly, or Wii figures don't lift after Galaxy (and stay lifted) - then we can start talking about a "problem".

Thank you Shams for chiming in with some logic.

If the Wii is in trouble, then the PS3 is on life support and the 360 is dead. Oh wait, the 360 is pretty much dead in Japan. ;)



Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.

Last time PS3 were at 10k, Wii were at 60k-70k without any games(And that lasted for several months). People laughed at PS3 numbers I laughed too because PS3 fanboys said blabla wait for the games. Now all the consoles are in the same boat now, no big games no big sales. This means by march/april it will hit the same numbers again and its going to depend on games. So Wii is not doomed it just means it cant sell at massive numbers without games.

PSP sold more then ds for 3 weeks, I thought that it would just be 1 week so I am suprised. Always interesting when new stuff happens in the charts. 360 need games so it can outsell ps3 for few weeks too. It would be fun if PS3 could outsell Wii 1 week before Mario Galaxy any good games coming out?

Handheld dominate while console sales sluggish. Halo 3 fell out of the top 30 in the second week, ouch. The Wii is going to remain disapointing until Galaxy comes. It wouldn't surprise me if the DS and PSP remain the top 2 selling pieces of hardware through the holiday season.
