Now everyone has selective amnesia in this thread and conveniently forgets that the PS3 had a price cut AND redesign.

  Except many, many were against the price cuts, and didn't want it, so yeah, your pic fails



 

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)

NSMB wont sell nearly as good as on DS. The people prefer slightly different games on handhelds then on Home Consoles. It will reach maybe 30% of the amount of sold DS Games. FF 13 will be bigger. It was the first oldschool Mario the last 10 years. And of course it attrackted a lot of people its a great game. But it wont sell nearly as good as on DS and imo it wont push more Consoles sold than FF 13.

 

Best example is the last Monster Hunter on PSP and Monster Hunter tri.



congrats then...

Platformers are not RPG's, in fact RPGs are in decline in Japan on the consoles, just look at FF13, it's going to sell poorly for an FF game in Japan according to both Famitsu and MC, but there hasn't been a 2D Mario platformer on a console in years, this is something that is going to be very popular in Japan and the rest of the world

I don't think anyone has any realistic expectation of NSMB Wii selling 5+ millions in Japan. It's a given that it won't sell as good as the DS one.

Even if it only reaches 30% of the DS version sales, that's 1.7 millions which is a pretty big game by itself. If by any chance it reaches 40% or more of the DS version sales, that's 2.28 millions which would be bigger than any PS3 games in Japan.



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.
