Ah, the plot thickens.

[Update: Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold said in a statement, "The 2009 holiday season got off to an amazing start for PlayStation, with all key retailers showing a significant increase for PS3, PSP and key holiday titles over Black Friday and the holiday weekend. PlayStation 3 demand was at an all time high with the system selling more than 440,000 units for the week ending 11/29/09.]

Postin it in all BF threads.

I'm surprised Ps3 is so close to wiis statement.

Looks like Wii sales were strong enough to force Pachter to back off his ridiculous Wii HD 2010 prediction

Now he's saying that if Sony ever drops below $200, Nintendo will have to make a Wii HD, lol, this guy never gives up with his silliness, Even if PS3 dropped, it wouldn't affect Wii sales, the Slim launch and Price cut didn't affect Wii sales in the least, and Nintendo could always drop to $150 if they had to lol.

I suppose eventually in like 2012 or 2013 when Nintendo announces that their next console has HD capability he'll probably claim he was right all along, even though it won't be a Wii HD.

He is nuts.

$149 wii would not hold of a $199 PS3.  While PS3 out selling wii would not force wii hd, they would still be selling alot and easily out sellling the 360.  And would still be banking serious cash of every sale. 

Actually I think a $149 Wii would hold off a $199 PS3, as we've seen, Wii sales are relatively independent of PS3 and 360 price, only thing that would affect it is Wii games and Wii price, so Wii sales would be at least what they are now, if not higher.  PS3 sales would dpend on a few factors, like 360 price, and whether its in decline or not.

Also at the moment, PS3 is still not making profit, so a $199, they'd probably be losing money as well

Amazing!! Congrats to Nintendo!!

I'm a little disappointed in Wii numbers but DS is a demon. Even if man gets extinct DS will keep on selling.

Ahh disappointed or not Wii sales are still big. I'm sure Nintendo arent very satisfied with numbers, but its like getting an A- instead of A+, sure its a drop but at least its nothing to panic about yet, they're still ahead. I wasnt too impressed with the numbers, but its still doing good numbers at the moment, and i think better than the PS2 has ever done during BF. I mean even the PS2 was second during one holiday season to the XBOX(2004 i think).

That being said, PS3 has been VERY impressive, beating 360 on its home turf and by a margin! They have gotten back, and all of a sudden they have the upper hand. Its amazing how things can change so quickly. Their campaign has been by far the most impressive, its like Boom!

Am not ceratin if this is a joke but coming second is not quite 'DOMINATION'...maybe next year(?)...if sony releases another model.

I was joking, not take it too seriously.
