Forums - Gaming Discussion - Japanese standoff: [PS3 vs Wii] Holidays Edition

Hehehe, yeah PSP and DS will probably be the most important paltforms, but in terms of big hitters the PS3 and Wii both offset them. Also, I wanted to see how the race would end, seeing as their are both close and both have a huge release set for the end of the year.

Making a PSP and DS game list would be really tedious :( as they both have more than triple or cuadruple the total amount of games the PS3 or Wii have.

Didn't include 360 or PS2 either because this is a 2 way race for the highest selling home console this year.

Lastly, there might some games that could make it in 2009, but I think we should wait until TGS. Games like GT5, Resident Evil: DSC and Tales of Graces are possibilities

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.

Wii has NSMB, game over, even FF and GT can't stand up against that, FF sales in japan will be 3 million max, while GT will be 2 million max, NSMB can get around 4-5 million on its own

don't think GT5 would sell anywhere close to 2 million in Japan.

 

@Ail: not sure how you would measure the hardware affect for NSMB Wii and FF13/GT5...



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

GT5 is also a decemember contender

I won't add any game that doesn't have an aofficial release date, so we will have to wait until TGS.

GT5 not coming out this year confirmed.

Also updated the OP with new releases, but by next week we will have a better picture of what will finally get released or not when TGS ends.

YTD: PS3 902k vs Wii 1013k
