to finally accept that the Wii completly pwnz the pos3? right now I'm pretty sure the Wii sold more than 5 millions and the PS3 isn't even at 2 millions. Now you will tell me to wait, but I think almost all consoles sold the most during its launch period and if its the case it'll be like 15 million Wii sold next christmas against like 5 million PS3s.

you forgot the wii already had his launch period in europe, the ps3 didn't. that already makes a little difference.

but yeah i do think in the first few years(2) the wii will sell beter after that i really think noone wants to see such graphics and al the party games are done(just as forgotten as the gamecube is today).

Really think the PS3's launch in Europe will be much different than in the US or Japan? IMO, it'll match the US sales, but not much more than that. That still won't bring the PS3 within firing distance of the Wii. And I think you truly underestimate the tolerance that casuals have for "omg teh last gen grafix" and their desire for something simple and fun to play.

Who cares about the sales. Once the Wii can do high resolution textures, HDR lighting, and outputs in 720p or 1080p then I'll admit it's better...

Cow's will admit defeat when 360 or wii has sold more than 115 million, and the ps3 sells less than ~30 million (i think thats around how many GC and XBOX sold)...t

 Even if it happens (which is awfully unlikely)... sheep and lem's still refuse to admit they got "pwnz0rded" last gen... so.. dont expect cows to any time soon.

Theres still at least a thread a day that says "but the xbox had SUCH better graphics than Ps2" the "PS2 is for TEH CAZUALS, NINTENDO IS FOR HARCORES" threads did stop though....

If you hadn't called the PS3 the PoS3... then I probably would have said that WIi is doing well. You did say that however, and I'm not impressed with your lack of tact.

It will only match US sales? Are you kidding? The US sales at launch were around 200k. They are shipping over 1 million to Europe with a much better lineup of games. The UK itself is getting more units then North America got. The UK wil take more preorders then the number of systems the US got.

Casuals don't care about what's better. They care about convenience, and the Wii is a very convenient console.

I actually do think europe is more ps3 territory then 360. i actually don't know how the wii is doing i actually don't know anyone who owns one:P

And of course there aren't big hits for the ps3 yet. and god of war 2 is only for the ps3. But i do think the "system-sellers"that still has to come will cause a lot more of sales.

for exemple mgs is a must have for everyone who likes games. (and there will come a GoW3, i already look forward to this one:P)

Do you really think that that is true? because if it was that is a marketing nightmare. its next console would be an automatic flop because of pissed off poeple would not buy another Nintendo console. so you are almost assuadly wrong.

Not really. If Nintendo keeps making cheap consoles then some people will keep buying them. Why would anybody buy a Wii after the N64 and the Gamecube? Price and the Nintendo name.

Then perhaps you should look up how the Wii is still perpetually sold out in Europe as well.

Well, when you put it like that, it makes me want to ask, what in god's name are you talking about? If you're trying to imply that if the Wii (which, being realistic here, it probably won't) toward the end or once this gen (360, PS3, Wii) are all going full speed will have millions of sales over the PS3, fan boys will have to accept ownage, they probably won't. GameCube compared to the other systems last gen sold garbage and Nintendo fans boys were still trying to argue "but it's teh better system, cause teh games pwnz ur 3rd partiez developments!", so don't expect if PS3 eventually never picks up in sales, that the SONY fan boys will be quiet about it, or as you put "accept" anything.

that shouldn't matter, it was still cheaper. Remember that it sold less than the Xbox which was $400

But the kinds of games people want on hand helds are not the kinds of games they buy consoles to play. Right now Wii is like a console version of the DS and frankly  mini games shouldn't cost 50 dollars to play.

What happens when all the casuals realize GTA IV isn't going to be on the Wii? Thats a huge casual game that is going to boost 360 and PS3 sales.

Thats the point we dont really know how the Wii is going to do. Going by the argument he made above, nobody would be buying Wiis because the N64 and Gamecube were failures. Thats not apparently going to happen so I have no reason to believe that even if the Wii fails completely in the long run that Nintendo wont just come up with another quirky idea, sell if for cheap and do reasonably well with it for a couple of years.

Oh and Nintendo won't go from selling 22 mil gamecubes to selling 100 million Wii's. Its just simply impossible. Just like Sony won't just go from selling 100 mil PS2's to selling 22 million PS3's.  Realistically the Will will double gamecubes numbers and PS3's will be cut in half.  50 mil PS3's and 40 mil Wii's will prob be sold by the end of this gen.

I own a Wii but still think the Ps3 is better. I don't know but to me the Wii feels like a sort of secondary console and the games just aren't that great.

For the record, both the PS3 and Wii are still running off of launch hype for sales. Remember when you couldn't find a 360 in stores readily until April/May of last year? Yep, that same type of hype. The Wii sales will slow sometime this year. The only thing it will have to prove after that is if it can sell at a good selling rate that the 360 has been selling at consistently since launch.

[QUOTE="Tristam22"][QUOTE="echelon"][QUOTE="laughingman42"][QUOTE="SumerianDaemon"]Wii isnt going to last much longer... It was just a clever trick from Nintendo to get some cash.echelon
Do you really think that that is true? because if it was that is a marketing nightmare. its next console would be an automatic flop because of pissed off poeple would not buy another Nintendo console. so you are almost assuradly wrong.


Not really. If Nintendo keeps making cheap consoles then some people will keep buying them. Why would anybody buy a Wii after the N64 and the Gamecube? Price and the Nintendo name.

Or because the Wii has successfully differentiated itself both from its competitors and from its predecessors?


Thats the point we dont really know how the Wii is going to do. Going by the argument he made above, nobody would be buying Wiis because the N64 and Gamecube were failures. Thats not apparently going to happen so I have no reason to believe that even if the Wii fails completely in the long run that Nintendo wont just come up with another quirky idea, sell if for cheap and do reasonably well with it for a couple of years.

no I was interpriting what he said as nintendo is going to just cut off suport for the Wii quickly. Nintendo backed the GC and N64 through their entire life cycle. and since when was selling something like 33 million consoles and having the 5 best selling console ever considered a failure?? I wouldnt even consider the GC a failure unless you also consider the Xbox a failure because the Xbox barely outsold it

to finally accept that the Wii completly pwnz the pos3? right now I'm pretty sure the Wii sold more than 5 millions and the PS3 isn't even at 2 millions. Now you will tell me to wait, but I think almost all consoles sold the most during its launch period and if its the case it'll be like 15 million Wii sold next christmas against like 5 million PS3s.

No offense, but i don't think anybody is going to listen to someone's opinion about the Wii with a name like PS2Hawk.

Wait until the PS3 price drop, then its sales will shoot up to the moon, and even higher.

The Wii is currently only selling a little over 2 to 1 over the PS3, so yes, the European launch will make a huge difference. But secondly, no matter if you're a fan of the 360 or the PS3, all of us who own either one can attest to the fact that the Wii is hardly a machine built to last for the long haul. In the next 2-3 yrs most homes will have hdtv's in them. Meanwhile, the PS3 is picking up momentum and the next two years will see it getting that same great software support that millions are already in love with.

If the Wii can pick up some good 3rd party support, they will continue to decent for at least the next 2 years... but beyond that, the technology will just be too old to be relevant.

By then the Xbox 360 will have already lowered it's price and increased it's sales even further than they're at now. :twisted:

Keep in mind that the Xbox 360 is already making a profit on every console sold as of 4-6 months ago. Sony is far from making a profit on the PS3.
