Forums - Sales Discussion - Analyst NPD Preview: Nintendo Owns December

dang...we need to come up with a new word that shows how the wii/ds bear their competition....owned and dominated seem like an under statement! lol



Around the Network

EEDAR has PSP selling the same as PS2? seriously?



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.

I demand VGC adjustments now!!!!! The NPD preview clearly shows VGC has grossly undertracked PS3. VGC is soooo Xbox biased it's not funny any more. For shame for shame.

In other news: VGChartz REview shows Nintendo ownED December in the Americas with, shock horror, over 6 million units sold between Wii and DS. EEDAR seems to be a bit off with PSP numbers, VGC and NPD looking to have a pretty close correlation making EEDAR the outlier and hence probably more likely to be least reliable of the 3. Effective tie with PS3 & 360 EEDAR and NPD both being within sampling error range. Each can try to claim a win (I mean second place) but there is low certainty in both cases.

Edit: VGC is the tie breaker for me, and being outside the sampling error it pretty much seals second place for the 360 as far as I'm concerned.

I wonder how folks will negatively spin the Wii's record breaking numbers, lol.



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.

We gotta start combining the PS360 numbers. It's simply not fair to measure them separately against the juggernaut that is the Wii ;)

I thought we already did that? ;)

I notice in both wii outsells the other 2 combined.

Sells will begin to drop drastically on he wii....it was only up b/c of the holidays...look at the sells b 4 the holidays...PS3 was in control

lol this is some funny ass shit x)

i know. Im still amazed people even bother commentating on the wii sales to be honest. Good or bad. Its just monumental and a phenomenon. Its not even fun or interesting anymore.

I posted the original statement because I noticed as yet no one had pointed this out, but am sure if it was the other way round and PS3/Xbox360 combined has beaten the Wii there would be post after post exclaiming the demise of the Wii in favour of the HD consoles.



I wanna be paid to state the obvious too.

Man, that's so easy to do: Wii's sales are all during the holidays, for the rest of the 11 months of the year they will be falling and barely staying ahead of PS3. Whaddya reckon?
