obviously not 5.. PS3 will lead WW sales in Holiday season and it already closed the gap by 1million in 1.5 month.. there is still 2.5 month left till end of year and theyre the most important ones.. I say 4-5mil

I think you mean Wii will lead in WW sales

It WILL lead?

Yes, Wii WILL lead WW this holiday

 

Holidays hasn't happened yet, so its future tense

we WILL see..

Don't tell me you actually think PS3 will outsell the Wii this holiday, seriously?  I mean even without NSMB Wii it would be hard, but with NSMB Wii, there is no chance, heck I wouldn't be surprised if Wii outsold both HD consoles combined this holiday



 

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)

The PS3 yes, combined no. This will be the best holiday season for the PS3 so far (and it could possibly be the best overall).



If the gap closes to 5 mill that will be the lowest since the PS3's launch correct?

If its the best overall, it would be the best for Wii as well

Also Wii is not supply constrained this Holiday, like it was in the past, and Wii is going to still be one of the hottest holiday gifts

Ahh right. I don't think it will, it's already down YoY from last year after the 2nd week of a pricecut.

If NSMB Wii doesn't do much for sales, i expect it to be pretty close between Wii and PS3 this holiday when compared to previous years.

It had a stronger games lineup at this time last year, this year its lineup has been much weaker, which is why its sales are down, its sales will rise with NSMB
