ioi Gave the answer and effectively ended this thread on page 1. Why are we on page 27 now? :p

 

because right now the gap is 100k in favor of the PS3 and it doesn't look like the gap will move much before NSMB Wii ( at least based on what numbers we have for Famitsu this week).

Ah, the plot thickens. Marvelous. :)

@ Hero_time88,

Yeah I know about that, thanks anyway, but I don't like scrolling through that many posts when I'm in a thread.

Good for PS3 if it grows in Japan and narrows the gap, but let's not forget there's still a 28+M gap WW.

Wii 27000
PS3 27000

Not as good as i expected for PS3, but atleast Wii is not outselling it.
So far, PS3 still has some advantage, as Wii is not doing good too, like some people expected after pricecut.



^^^ Last year at this time, anything over 20K was good, why is 27k not good now? What were you expecting?



^^^ Last year they both didn`t have pricecuts. So, after console is getting a pricecut, you would expect it selling better.

The other thing, PS3 is on 7th week since pricecut, Wii on 3rd.
Competition is a good thing.

So far, it`s now only about games, how much they will push new HW units.

@ioi - i think, it`s more important about total sales, and who will reach it`s goal first, rather than being correct on weekly basis sales. Those November Wii sales boost from games will move just to December. I don`t think, that cumulative sales will change that much. But if you want, then change those numbers, i still think PS3 has chances to get to 5 mln. first. Maybe not fast as i expected, but definitely till the end of March.



weekly sales are much closer than I expected. PS3 should still win this competition though, just not this year.



Only because PS3 couldn`t hold 40k+ sales for the rest of year, it doesn`t mean, it won`t be selling a lot during Christmas period.

And i think, you really underestimate Tekken 6 and Bayonetta selling power.
Though, next week i don`t expect high sales too.

I don`t expect huge boost from NSMB, mainly because, Wii already had around 5 huge games released. Huge i mean, which sold 1-2+ mln. copies.
That`s why FFXIII, first huge PS3 game in Japan, will push more PS3 units.

Also you forget, that Wii sales were declining year to year. There is a possibility, that Wii already saturated Japan market at some point.
Anyway, we will see.

So far, after 4 weeks sales data, i overestimated PS3 sales and you overestimated Wii sales.
