I'll tell you one thing right now, if NSMB Wii doesn't move a lot of Wiis, Nintendo might as well call it quits now and end the system's life early, because if a new 2-D Mario can't do it, NOTHING will. |
Lets not go OVERBOARD with this
they are still outselling the comptition
& the mario audience could ALREADY be on wii.....I mean that can be a point in his favour.

hmm no i don't think many people think uncharted 2 willl move much hardware, 10-15k at most.
i think the same for the wii while nsmb wii will move it abit, not enough to meet 2008 year.
mario demographic it's already on the wii, so nintendo probably going to be happy it going to sell tons of software of it first party games.

The Wii now has competitors with much more mass-market friendly prices! One precondition of the Wii's level of success up to this point has been the great expense of its competitors relative to its own price. |
I totally disagree. The wii's main selling point is it's controller - hence the large casual base. I think the price helps but not as much as some make out it does.
If the wii had used the gamepad controller as is currently present on the HD consoles (IMO) the price wouldn't have helped it one bit, like it didn't help the gamecube.
Regardless of the YoY the wii is still outselling the TV console competition which is the main thing.
The PS3 is over the magic 200,000 again and that is v.good bearing in mind it is still the most expensive console.
The NA numbers are close between the PS3 and x360, the PS3 may never catch the x360 there but at least now it is putting up a better fight.
PS3 just short of selling twice as many consoles as x360 in EU, the biggest market.
x360 at the bottom but I would still consider that number pretty OK.

Doubtful, the only games to get into the 2D Mario range are the Wii franchise titles
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)

Looking good, the one factor 360 has going for it is, after it's price drop last year (excluding Japan) the PS3 didn't come close to U.S or Others sales for 360. 360 is already ahead of PS3 in America. Japan will be better, but it's never going to be N.A/Others levels. |
I didn't understand what you meant there?
do you mean PS3 isn't coming close to its last years sales this year?
or it didn't come close last year?
as I'm sure PS360 were tied in EU last holiday

Nope, look at the games on Wii, unless the Mario demographic is the same as the Wii fit/sports/play demographic, they aren't on it yet

Perhaps, the wii hit it's peak last holiday season

I know what you mean, I was just giving an example of his point of view....he may believe in this
like it or not the 3D & 2D mario audience probably heavily overlaps.

| kowenicki said: The 360 is still the only console up YOY YTD by the way.... just though I'd get that in, as it will change in the next 2 to 3 weeks...  Just shows how badly the PS3 was doing earlier this year, even after the massive recent boost it is still down YOY YTD. The Wii is a disaster YOY YTD down almost 3.5m or 25% Holidays is going to be very interesting... |
Biggest YOY down for a 1st place console thats in its 3rd year ever
