I see, so the Wii's still got 400k more than the HD twins combined. I wonder how the PS3 will surge during Xmas week.

How is Wii just 'okay' when it's beating PS3's 'very good' ***;(

i think we will have to wait little longer for the final december numbers, they'll probably go through alot of adjustments because there are so many sales during december its not easy getting accurate results.

PS3 'very good' Wii 'ok' even though Wii outsold PS3 by 500k units? Interesting logic.

Quite simple..
Let's compare to last year..
I've only taken the first 3 weeks from each year in december.

December 2008:
Wii: 4,022,552
PS3: 1,349,017

December 2009:
Wii: 4,211,242 (up 5% from last year)
PS3: 2,219,439 (up 65% from last year)

I would say PS3 does very good and Wii does okey looking at these numbers

LoL. Ok so even though the PS3 is up so much yoy is very good while Wii is still selling twice as much as PS3 is
in general despite PS3's huge yoy increase is just ok..Now I get it.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Well, in general of course Wii is doing very good, but on a weekly basis, compared to last year, it's doing okey.

In other words, I would say it's much more impressing seeing a console sell 65% more than last year, than a console keeping it stable compared to last year.

I believe last year was Wii's peak, and I think it'll just go down from now on, in difference to PS3. I think it's peak will be next year.

Here's another one of theose weird "symantics" things. I think that selling 4.2 million over 3 weeks is amazing! But we're not here to talk about the Wii.

OT: So what do you think we'll be looking at when the numbers for this week come in? Is Christmas week usually off the chartz? (See wut I did thar?)



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Well at least the Wii is up overall in Dec from it's peak year. All they had to do was a $50 price drop O and NSMBW

PS3 is doing good is well but it took a $100, a new PS3 design, FFXIII (in Japan), and tons of advertising 

Nintendo dropped the price

Sony threw the kitchen sink



Gaming make me feel GOOD!

PS3 and 360 will be nearly right on with out average prediction.

Thanks for illustrating that the Wii is finally up YoY in monthly sales! :)

Considering how monstruous 2008 sales were for the Wii, this is truly breath-taking.

The Wii is looking very strong for the start of 2010.
