Is the Wii Unbeatable?

In terms of sales, I mean. Can the PS3 or 360 catch up to Nintendo's giant in terms of sales numbers? The PS3 and the 360 combined only have a worldwide lead of something like 10 million units right now. On the other hand, the PS3 and 360 might have more longevity than the Wii, so it might happen that Wii sales slow down enough to let PS3 and/or 360 pick up some of the slack.

So what say you, System Wars: can the Wii be beaten this generation in terms of sales?

I'd say no chance what so ever. The gap is just too large, plus, every holiday the Wii has great numbers.

I think so because as we've seen the PS2 do it will become the champion of the low income family as far as video games

The 360 and PS3 don't grab me as having that kind of draw like the Wii can once it gets one more price cut.

The PS2 has lasted a long time from low income families making it their choice for gaming and I see the Wii taking the mantle so even when it's even more outdated then it is right now I think we'll see it's sales keep on going powered by another section of the population.

No chance but we have the real gamers, not the casual ones.

The competition has no chance of beating the Wii in sales, and the Wii has no chance of beating the competition when it comes to number of high quality games.

I don't think so. Wii is too far ahead.

Cheap things that give the whole family enjoyment sell.

Sony and MS already lost. Kinect is not even relevant.

Maybe, maybe not in total sales this generation. But the real question, to me, is can the Wii stay relevant when the other consoles are resurgent and the Wii is decreasing in sales/popularity? Last quarter it took last place in worldwide sales among the home consoles. I have no reason not to think it will take last place again after the holiday season is over...

Give me a break Why do you think the HD COD versions sell so well? Oh wait...CASUALSLastRambo341

Competitive multiplayer.. :roll:

No not unbeatable. I have a potential situation:

Wii2 is announced for 2012 next year. Xbox360/PS3 announce, due to motion controls, that they will stick with current consoles for another generation (as if the motion controls were essentially the start of their new era).

In this time, Wii2 will essentially be competing with PS3 and 360 through the next gen. In this time, since the 360/PS3 have another gen of sales ahead of them, they could catch up to the Wii.

There you go, there is one POTENTIAL situation. Therefore, since a potential situation where Wii gets beaten in sales exists, then it is beatable.

It most likely won't be beaten, though.

It's called the bro dude crowd and teens, who are the same crowd who would buy games like Madden and Halo but bash games like Mario and Zelda and call them rehashed when the irony is pretty clear.hiphops_savior

I wonder who came up with that name.

No, it's too far ahead, I think the gap will get smaller in the future, but I doubt it'll ever be beaten sales-wise.

[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"][QUOTE="LastRambo341"] Yes, people buy it for multiplayer. But who does? CASUALS. I mean, come on. 10 million? 15 million? Its pretty much evidentlocopatho

The final worlds in games like Super Mario Bros are way harder than your precious COD games. I doubt you're even above 22 years when you write comments like these.

Well it looks like you can kiss all that support goodbye if the latest Microsoft PR news is true. At least you got a PS3 now, and a Wii for core games.

And Gears, and Forza. And(shocking, I know) multiplatform games.

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="Bigboi500"]Microsoft's focus on Kinect suggests otherwise...

Actually, if you take into account XBLA games, the 360 will probably have more core exclusives than the Wii.

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="locopatho"] All he's saying is that a game withrunning and a jump button is easier to pick up and play then a game like COD with it's running, jumping, camera controls, crouching, lying down, shooting, reloading, changing weapons, meleeing, switching on nightvision, throwing grenades, flashbangs, etc.....locopatho

I don't see the PS3 or 360 breaking the Wii's sales any time soon. However they are both doing extremely well and have shown that the market has grown enough to allow for three consoles to be extremely profitable.
