Wii will, as always and rightfully so, be in first. 360 in close second and PS3 in distant third.



i voted for wii 360 ps3, just because modern warfare 2 will knock the socks off the ps3 version sales wise and will clear any ps3 sales gap it might have

@Buzzi & Koffieboon, feel free to make that thread yourselves, but it is going to be boring, because obviously the console with nearly 50% market share is going to dominate. If we also included, Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Play, maybe even the orginal Wii Sports if we are talking about all software sells during the period, it won't be much of a contest. Again the reason the thread is titled "big holiday titles" is because we are looking at games released during this holiday period. Not seeing how strong Wii's evergreen titles are which we all already know.

I have no interest in starting my own thread, I'm just saying if you exclude these titles I feel you don't get a meaningful answer to your question. And if a real answer to the question is obvious than maybe it is just not the right question to ask.

 

Anyway, to give an answer to your question taking all your limitations into account:

Wii: Wii Fit Plus: 7 million / NSMB Wii 3-5 million / Mario & Sonic at the Olympics 2,5 million / 2 unknown titles 2 million

Xbox 360: Modern Warfare 5,5 million / Assassins Creed 2 2,5 million / Left 4 Dead 2 2 million / Forza 3 2 million / FIFA 10 1,5 million

PS3: Modern Warfare 3 million / Assassins Creed 2 2,5 million / Uncharted 2 2 Million / FIFA 10 2 million / Final Fantasy XIII 1,5 million

With these numbers Wii will just edge out Xbox 360 if NSMB is in my lower range for the title, if it becomes a big hit the gap it won't be close. PS3 will sell a few million less than Xbox 360 mainly because of Modern Warfare 2.



 

 

To be fair, the numbers you would get if you include all games aren't all that different.

Wii would get Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii up there, rather than 2 random games.

MKWii should sell 3-4 million, and Wii Fit a bit less than that.

X360 would possibly get ODST at 1.5-2 million up there

Nothing would be added to the Ps3.

 

So in a sense, asking the question this way is more precise, as it lets the repliers focus on the actuality, rather than check old titles.

 

Edit: Oh, and Wii might get Wii Sports Resort up there with around 5 million as well.

Essentially, X360 and Ps3 will be identical, and Wii will be

Wii Fit +

NSMB Wii

Wii Sports Resort

Mario Kart Wii

Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

 

Rather than

Wii Fit +

NSMB Wii

Mario & Sonic

Two minor games.

 

So I like the OPs way of doing it for 2 reasons

1. It will allow the X360 and Ps3 predictions to be more precise

2. It makes a fair competition, rather than make one the Wii will definitely win.

I can understand he wants to give the Wii a handicap to make it a bit more interesting, but that doesn't actually make it fair.

I see your point koffieboon, next week when I update the charts, I will have two sections one like it is now, and one like you are suggesting.



I see people once again are forgetting about this.


360 better sell more games becuase it has a much better exclusive lineup than
PS3 this holiday. But it won't happen,ps3 has too much momentum now.

You really expect it to sell millions and make a big difference for this topic?
