With PS3 making up around 2 million next year, when do you think PS3 will overtake Wii in Japan as you predicted in the other thread?

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.

And it'll sell 500k quicker than you can blink once FF XIII hits. Slim launch and this will be comparable. And whats going to boost Wii so much? NSMB?

NSMB Wii + Taiko Wii 2, Tales of Graces, Sengoku Musou 3,  PokePark, Mario & Sonic 2 and Crystal Bearers. This is a strong line up if you ask me.

Well, not just NSMB but a solid, full and varied lineup (Tales, Taiko, Musou, PokePark, etc).  For like the first time in Wii's lifecycle it doesn't have to rely on just one big title to try and hold everything together.

PS3 on the other hand...

You think FF XIII will push 500k?? that's a lot... If that's possible in 2 weeks, PS3 will definitely win this year. But I don't think so.

That means PS3 sold 37.5k this week? Pretty nice :]



Battlefield Bad Company 2 > Modern Warfare 2

'After that though it's pretty barren until FFXIII, while Wii has a ton of surefire sellers in between (Taiko Wii 2, Tales of Graces, Sengoku Musou 3, NSMB Wii, PokePark, Mario & Sonic 2, Crystal Bearers).'.

Surefire sellers eh?

All those games will break at least 200k, they're all pretty much guaranteed that.  At least half will break 300k and couple will break 500k.  The only PS3 games I see doing similarly in the same period are WE2010, FFXIII and maybe Dragon Ball.

I don't think any are necessarily big hardware drivers, but as DS and PS2 have proven, it's not just the big games, it's the stuff in between that keeps you afloat.  A full lineup's more important than one big title on it's own, which is why Wii just recently struggled after MH3.
