Forums - Sales Discussion - The bigger question is.. will Wii outsell ps3?

I think wii will be 220-230k so there's a chance it won't outsell ps3.

Japan was only a $10 price cut? WTF?



 

mM

why is this even a question lol?

The market leader just got its first price cut, expect some serious PWNAGE



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Actually there are two questions, by how much will Wii outsell the PS3 in its first week, and where its sales will settle over the longer run



 

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)

it is 50%/50% because a 100$ price cut would have been more affective on Wii 's sales ps3 slim is still new and people love it too much and appreciate it considering Uncharted 2 coming very soon and some more exclusives well from the amazon side it seems that customers have chosen Wii but ps3 is still on the top 10 with Uncharted 2 #2(please don 't start a war about amazon)

Yeah but after October 13th, its going to drop, Uncharted will sell well, but it'll have no real legs

Another question is whether the Wii price drop will mute sales of the 360 more than the PS3, given that until now the Arcade was the lowest-priced console option. 

Because price is an important component of sales oh hey again Avinash!! 



It's very misleading posting wiis last weeks numbers only. Wii sales dropped to 160 000 because of people waiting for the price cut. Before the pre-pricecut week wii sales were actually INCREASING for 2-3 weeks. Two weeks ago wii sales were at 195 000, which means they would have likely been around 200 000 last week if there had been no price drop.

Wii would have started outselling PS3 in october already even without a price cut.



The question for any price-cut is "where will it settle?" But i don't think that's a question we will see answered for either console until sometime in January or so, when the holiday craziness finally dies down. That's why this holiday will be especially epic.
