Since R:FOM and CoD3 were launch games, that's a pretty weak argument.  I don't know exactly what to attribute the steady PS3 sales to (a lot more steady than I expected them to be).  I guess consumers want the multimedia capabilities or are return users from the PS2 generation.  Price and game lineup isn't exactly stunning at the moment, so perhaps it's just public perception that the PS3 is the best console because of price, delay, size, etc.  I've really got nothing to attribute it to.  And still no Europe in the mix.  They should be getting butchered by 360 (though Wii is butchering both, lol!).

Techincally Microsoft is number 1 in the current Next Gen department.  I'm sure the Wii will catch up, in terms of systems sold anyway.  Third parties need to change their attitudes for the Wii to win in game sales.

Wii numbers were only 100,000 more that's not that impressive for 360 being out a whole year ahead of it. On top of that that is only 1.2 Million a year more it would take Wii almost 9-10 years to surpas 360 in the US at that pace.

What the? The 360 hasn't even sold 10 million worldwide, let alone 10 million in the US. It's user base is around 5.5 million or so. Nintendo already has close to 2 million users in the US. If these trends continue, US sales of Wii will surpass the 360 by the end of this year.

Your math is way off. 360 has easily sold 11 Million worldwide with 8 million to the US. Wii only selling 100,000 more than 360 a month at the beginning isn't going to allow it to surpas 360 in one year get real. Plus you fail to mention 360 December sales were better for 360 than Wii (2 million 360, 1.8 million for Wii). Or did you also forget November #s  511,000 Xbox 360s, 476,000 Wiis and 197,000 PS3s?

I take it you're one of the people still around who hangs onto the belief that MS meant sold to consumers with that 10.4 million sold figure at the end of 2006?

I think I've now seen 3 different posts, about 3 different systems "winning" already.

Oh, and since we're on the subject, how close does "Cooking Mama: Cook Off" come out to "Halo 3" ?

Obviously the Wii is putting up some staunch competition in the games department.

And anyone who thought 360 would out do two long established companies in Japan hasn't paid attention to gaming in the past 10 years. But since I'm in North America, it doesn't really matter.

It has hit 10 million worldwide. Those are the sales figures their inenstors are using. Buisiness profesionals who have been doing this for years knwo ALOT more then a fanboy on a msg board. Microsoft doing so well should NOT be a surprise. ps2 only had a 2-1 sales lead over xbox1 in the USA.

Try some grammar. Anyways, the 360 is the best system out at the moment. And when you compare it to the other consoles, yes, the PS3 is doing bad. It's in last place. Last I heard, last place was bad. Not to say it will flop, but with most of its exclusives leaving it, it's not going to do very well. The main reason the PS2 did so well was because it had not only AAA 3rd party support, but it has AAA 3rd party EXCLUSIVES. So now they have to heavily rely on their first party games. But when you really think about it, what first party games does the Xbox 360 have? However, Nintendo really depends on it's first party games, and they've shown for it. Anyways, it's not selling "that great" with a high price tag. It's what, 2.5 mil? The Wii is 4.5 mil, and the 360 is 10 mil. At least thats what I heard. But the bottom line is, 360 is not a rip off, and you're right, the PS3 isn't going anywhere. At least not until it realizes it has to fade away from the competition, since it can't compete. Just like the Dreamcast. . . How ironic.

See my profile for a full explanation of why the Wii's success will harm the industry.  I agree with your analysis of the sales currently occuring in this industry.

But I don't see why you champion high sales as a positive event, when the Wii's success will cause a sharp decline in the quality of games avaliable for the Wii.

You've become my favorite user here in SW, and I completely agree.  Instead of focusing on the sales of a console as a winning factor, focus on what actually MATTERS to us gamers.  And dont give me the "more sells = more dev support" that part is obvious...PS2 won last gen because of the amount of great AA franchises, GC had the most AAA games, and Xbox had the biggest AAA game and a couple of other less hyped AAA games.

I read your blog about the Wii's possible negative influence on the industry, and although I dont agree with it compleetly, I think peopel should open up their minds to the influence of the Wii's possible dominating success.  Will we all of a sudden sacrifice graphics for gameplay, when both are important?  Will deviating from stanbdard controller with a inconsistent and sometimes irresponsive control scheme good as a STANDARD for the industry?  Who knows, but since the Wii's console philosophy IS so different and gaining such mainstream popularity, we as gamers need to be open to the idea of the Wii's influence on the industry, whether it be positive or negative impact.  Because it IS a change.

360 just can't miss with Mass Effect, Halo 3 and Bioshock, Lost oDyssey and Ninja Gaiden 2, the competition has nothing even close to those for some years

360 just can't miss with Mass Effect, Halo 3 and Bioshock, Lost oDyssey and Ninja Gaiden 2, the competition has nothing even close to those for some years

[QUOTE="Zhengi"][QUOTE="rexoverbey"]Wii numbers were only 100,000 more that's not that impressive for 360 being out a whole year ahead of it. On top of that that is only 1.2 Million a year more it would take Wii almost 9-10 years to surpas 360 in the US at that pace.Illumination77

What the? The 360 hasn't even sold 10 million worldwide, let alone 10 million in the US. It's user base is around 5.5 million or so. Nintendo already has close to 2 million users in the US. If these trends continue, US sales of Wii will surpass the 360 by the end of this year.

It has hit 10 million worldwide. Those are the sales figures their inenstors are using. Buisiness profesionals who have been doing this for years knwo ALOT more then a fanboy on a msg board. Microsoft doing so well should NOT be a surprise. ps2 only had a 2-1 sales lead over xbox1 in the USA.

It's 10.4 million SHIPPED. Of course that's what business professionals will use since they have investments in MS, but it's not 10.4 million SOLD to customers, which is what is important here in this forum. Heck, even the number of consoles sold to customers is important to investors because if they don't sell to customers, the company can't SHIP more units to retailers.

Your math is way off. 360 has easily sold 11 Million worldwide with 8 million to the US. Wii only selling 100,000 more than 360 a month at the beginning isn't going to allow it to surpas 360 in one year get real. Plus you fail to mention 360 December sales were better for 360 than Wii (2 million 360, 1.8 million for Wii). Or did you also forget November #s  511,000 Xbox 360s, 476,000 Wiis and 197,000 PS3s?

See my profile for a full explanation of why the Wii's success will harm the industry. I agree with your analysis of the sales currently occuring in this industry.

But I don't see why you champion high sales as a positive event, when the Wii's success will cause a sharp decline in the quality of games avaliable for the Wii.

You've become my favorite user here in SW, and I completely agree. Instead of focusing on the sales of a console as a winning factor, focus on what actually MATTERS to us gamers. And dont give me the "more sells = more dev support" that part is obvious...PS2 won last gen because of the amount of great AA franchises, GC had the most AAA games, and Xbox had the biggest AAA game and a couple of other less hyped AAA games.

I read your blog about the Wii's possible negative influence on the industry, and although I dont agree with it compleetly, I think peopel should open up their minds to the influence of the Wii's possible dominating success. Will we all of a sudden sacrifice graphics for gameplay, when both are important? Will deviating from stanbdard controller with a inconsistent and sometimes irresponsive control scheme good as a STANDARD for the industry? Who knows, but since the Wii's console philosophy IS so different and gaining such mainstream popularity, we as gamers need to be open to the idea of the Wii's influence on the industry, whether it be positive or negative impact.

PS3, PSP and PS2 are doing awesome in sales.

All of you keep on saying no one will spend $600 on a PS3, yet its sold over 2 million, and its not even released worldwide yet! Ha!

The PSP had awesome sales also. With the price drop coming in march-may, it will sell like hot cakes.

PS2 continues to whoop *** like theres no tommorow.

Sony FTW.

PS3 fans are playing resistance because it's the only game available that's worth anything.

360 fans are playing: GoW, GRAW, R6V, Oblivion, CoD 2, Dead Rising, Saints Row.... you know, just to name a few.

I spent $60 on a game that's been lasting almost a month now so far, playing it every single day. That is much more lasting appeal than a 6 hour game. That seems to be more bang for your buck than almost all of those games, except for a few exceptions. So lets see that comes to.... $420 worth of games that you can easily get bored of from what I've heard. We have a lot of exciting games coming up. We just launched a few months ago. What did you expect hundreds of games right out of the gate? Yeah, you only look at the now, rather than look at the what will be. It's like pushing off studying for a test, because you just wanna focus on the now. I bet you're failing a class right now, right? Sorry to hear that. I'm too busy playing with my PS3, gtg.

This is terrible, right here. Terrible. System Wars is full of arrogance. If Xbox 360 had sold 10 million by the end of last year, at the moment they'd shipped 10.4 million, then that'd mean they'd have 1.9 million to sell for half a year worldwide has MS have stated they're only shipping 1.5 more million until the end of June. Nov counts as two month's sales, Dec as 4 on average. By that, by the end of the year, Xbox 360 has been out for 22 months (or less because it didn't launch everywhere in Nov, AND didn't launch at the start of Nov anywhere). At the same rate, Xbox 360 needs at least 2.7 or 2.7 million more units until March; more than the 1.9M that'll be available in that time period. That'll teach you not to speculate on shipment numbers! Finished speculating? At best, Xbox 360, to this very day, has sold no more than 9.5 million. EVEN TO THIS DAY! The data from Europe has shown sluggish data, and MS said it's about 50% of NA market for Xbox 360. Let's say that's bumped up to 55% of NA for goos measure, and add it to NPD and MC sales, then that doesn't even touch 9 million. But I believe NPD and MC undertrack oftentimes, and believe XBox 360 has sold more than 9 million, but not by much, of course. Sorry to kick a person while down, but Wii is sold out, and as stock supplies increase, its month-on-month sales above 360 will continue to widen. Currently at 140,000 more, which is modest compared to what it WILL, I suspect, but let's be VERY modest and say it won't. Xbox 360's best case scenerio, if Wii doesn't increase in popularity like DS did, is to get its ass kicked. Worst case, it'll just happen sooner.

360 sales are not at a halt! Its been out for over a year and is selling extremely well. The Wii is selling so much mainly due to the fact that its cheaper! Wait a few months and then everything will even out.
