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

Just realize that this is actually FIFA week in europe, which traditionally favours Sony's platform and gives the PS3 a tiny bump, combined with the recent hardware revision and price cut could help the console maintain momentum. Wii will probably still win but by how big a margin?

adam84 - FFXIII release week should see PS3 > Wii

But yeah, Wii should be ahead of PS3 next week


  In Japan, maybe, depends on the effect of th Wii lineup, but not WW, both Media create and Famitsu are predicitng FF13 to be a flop (for a final fantasy game)

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Due to multiplatforms, FFXIII will most likely outsell FFXII worldwide. I'm not sure how that would consider to be a flop ( and MC and Famitsu have made no predictions on FFXIII sales outside of Japan).



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Just coming into this from the first page read.

I don't think it really will or if so just slightly. I don't believe there's that high demand for the WII any more.

I think Nintendo will make less profit this remaining year than if they just left the price at 250. Kind of like Microsoft.

  It won't be out outside of Japan until 2010, so no bearing on the holiday sales, plus as you say its multiplat, so it may sell better on the 360 outside Japan, in Japan its on the PS3 only and will not sell as much as other FF's, hence a flop

  You do realize that even before a price drop, Wii was selling around 190K per week, even with only one really big title all year and even after its competitors price cuts, that is still very strong demand, and this winter Wii is going to have some heavy hitters in its lineup, so the idea that demand isn't there for Wii is ridiculous
