mhm Ninja gaiden doesn't push hardware, the bump most likely resulted from the fact its being marketed well, so its stabilizing around 75-90K in the america's. As for JAPAN, thats a confusing one

You have official Japanese numbers?

obviously not, but online outlets didn't get a huge boost on the wii in japan.. if that's an indication of anything, they did get a huge boost in the America's and UK.

And Wii probably didn't get a huge boost in Japan, but that doesn't indicate that PS3 sales improved, or that PS3 outsold the Wii, in fact if you look at Amazon japan, DSi isn't in the top 10 yet we know that sells far better than the PS3, so I wouldn't use online retailers as a measure.

never said the PS3 sales improved in japan, its like I said confusing

I think a reason for low Wii sales in Japan this week in spite of the price cut and Wii fit plus is timing, Console sales tend to dip in October the past two years, Wii was in the 20K's at this time of the year, and people are likely holding off purchases until December

 

Edit:sorry, misread it was PSP not PS3



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I hate TOS. (The Original Series) Squill likes 360, I am PSWii.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

wii might be cheaper so to a person looking for the cheapest and quickest package the ya they will get the wii
but..
for a person that does research and wants more for there buck and something higher quality then they will choose the ps3 and im pretty sure most people know the ps3 is a blu ray player...soooo for $100 more you get blu ray, hd games, dvd upscaler, free online i think its easy to choose imho.

but it really depends on the consumer so i have no clue, thats just my opinion.

And the person who actually looks at the games will choose the console they think has the better games. Oh wait nevermind, your  point about choosing a videogame console for it's multimedia value is better. Remember everyone, Wii owners aren't educated on their purchase. It is all impulse buying. Otherwise they would know from the start the superior product and choose not to buy the Wii.

 yes you are correct, i didnt add games because everyone has different taste in games and i was talking about the console.

your right i should have added games.

i would say that it depends on the gamer and imho about the quality of the games not quantity.

imo ps3 beats wii when it comes to quality games....everyone talks about that being the problem with the wii but i just didnt want to bring that up.

Wait, somebody thinks PS3 will be "back on top" in a week...

The PS3 was going to drop below the Wii in another couple weeks, without a Wii price cut.

That's what people said on Slim launch, before slim launch and ever since the Slim launch. Look what happened there.

http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii®1=All&cons2=PS3®2=All&cons3=X360®3=------&start=40062&end=40083

The PS3 dropped every week since the price cut?  I don't get what you are trying to say.

Yet in NA it had an increase this week.

What i am saying is, a LOT people have been saying Wii will be back above PS3 in a couple of weeks ever since the Slim launched, including myself. Which didn't happen.

While i dont agree with what rafichamp says, you saying "The PS3 was going to drop below the Wii in another couple weeks" isn't necessarily true at all.

What I am wondering, is if you broke the link on purpose...

http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii®1=All&cons2=PS3®2=All&cons3=X360®3=------&start=40062&end=40083

and here's America for everyone to look at too.

http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii®1=America&cons2=PS3®2=America&cons3=X360®3=------&start=40062&end=40083

The link still works...

And here is the news that says PS3 had an increase... THIS week.

I take it back. It probably would have hovered around that mark for the next few weeks, going into the holidays where there would be increases.

And the links "work" but they bring you to a blank chart because of the "®."

I think that Wii will outsell PS3 this week, no doubt about it, but if PS3 can still manage 200,000 worlwide for the week while Wii sales increases, then PS3 has nothing to worry about.

Wii fit plus has defeated Wii on the Amazon bestsellers charts, millions of baby seals are killed
