What Fad? SO4? I guess. 360 Sales are significantly down from when it was released.

Woah, I can't remember seeing Wii sales as low as that before (when I say low, I mean low for the Wii). I'm pretty sure it won't last, though.

Edit: Just noticed the PSP sales. Anything released for that which caused it to sell so much?

13k is good for the 360, 12k is the lowest Wii ever went, not even the PS3 went this low this year.

Ryuu Ga Gotoku 3 (Yakuza 3) One things for sure, with the release of RE5 next week, PS3 can possibly beat the Wii for the next 6-9 weeks.

Why not? It was reaching 50-70k sales in 2007. And then it collapsed with a surge in sales late 2007 - early 2008. It's been crap ever since, and has fallen behind PS2's sales from the same period.

The biggest game on the horizon are Monster Hunter Remake (which may, or may not sell well, I'm assuming the latter), and Wii Sports Resort in June/July.

As far as I'm concerned, it'll be the worst selling winning console ever. It'll be lucky to reach 16 million.

Yeah I'd have to go with this. I'd expect Wii sales to go down here if Nintendo started putting out many core games again.

No, Wii sales were actually terrific at one period and now abysmal. 12k is even bad for the PS3, what do you think it is for the Wii? A console that used to get 20k MINIMUM.

A fad is "a fashion that is taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze." The longer the Wii is out on the market, the less of a fad it becomes. It's been out for over 2 years now.

Then tell me which week Wii will beat the PS3, with analysis, unless you're a crystal-ball reader. I'm assuming it won't come in 4-9 weeks, seeing as how Wii sales are plummeting, with the release of RE5 next week, which could mark the 3rd week the Xbox 360 beats the Wii in a row. Wii sales are about to go below 10k, that's pre-SO4 Xbox 360 territory.

Yes, and it sales died before its year anniversary, rised for a short period due to big games, and fell back again. Wii lived for December 2006 - August 2007 and December 2007 - April 2008. All other months it's been getting constant below 30k sales, aside from the holiday seasons where it only hit a disappointing 150k peak.

No. The snes, PS1, and PS2 were certainly popular but they were not treated as fads.

You didn't turn on comedy central and see some comedian devote an entire section to "this new PS1 thing."

No one was using their snes as an excercise method.

Those systems weren't treated like the wii. The wii is not treated like a console. It is treated like a fun new toy by the general public. THAT is who nintendo is adopting into their fanbase.

I'm just curious, why is it you're calling *me* a crystal ball reading when the OP made a clear prediction that this was the state of things to come? Oh wait, you ARE the OP, and you DID predict the future. Why not stop using your own crystal ball before criticizing others for doing the same? One short period of a sales slump does not by *any* stretch mean that the Wii has stopped selling well - anything else is crystal ball reading, which is exactly what you're doing with your "The fad is over" prediction.

Or hey, why not just lay of the hypocrisy in your responses to people participating in your thread? That'd be a good start.

Yes, Wii sales are terrible and are going to be terrible for a while, a long while. I think even with big games, Wiis momentum drags in the 20k range from now on, as opposed to PS2's 40k range, and the DS's 120k range.

I backed up my prediction with at least some analysis. Do you have any idea on the Wii's sales history in Japan and the future release of games? I'll tell you - nothing important is coming out in 2009 except for Wii Sports Resort and a possible release of Mario Party 9. Outside of that, all other games will find it hard to even break 200k, as shown by sales of past games.

No, as I said above, I predict the Wii will be the "worst selling winning console", because that's where it's trending towards.

So tell me where your analysis is, I'd love to here. Don't worry, I don't bite :)

Not even for the fact that the PS3 is going well but because the reign of Nintendo finally seems to come to an end!

It's called a product life cycle, not a fad. Look it up and learn a thing or two.

So tell me where your analysis is, I'd love to here. Don't worry, I don't bite :)Famiking
I've read everything you've said. The extent of your analysis is this: Figure A) it has fallen behind the PS3 in one region right now. Figure B) it is not selling as well as the PS2 did at this same period. Figure C) ZOMG IT WILL NEVER SELL WELL AGAIN LOLZORS THE FAD IS OVER!!! That's not analysis, that's idle speculation. Even if the sales didn't jump again on their own (something you can't disprove and have done nothing to argue can't happen), a big game from Nintendo (with things like Wiifit and Mario Kart being big games, that's hardly unlikely) or a price drop (which Nintendo could *easily* afford) could change the way things were happening. Your "analysis" is a joke - and yes, it does amount to you using a crystal ball while laughing at others for doing the same. One sales report in one area = "the fad is over"... Talk about a stretch!

I am not sure whether I should laugh or cry over the fact that there still are people who deem the Wii to be a fad. :lol: :cry:

It is a fad. Thats the way the public treats it.

There's nothing saying fads can't last more than a year.

A fad is "a fashion that is taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze." The longer the Wii is out on the market, the less of a fad it becomes. It's been out for over 2 years now.

A year is not a very long time. Neither are 2. Fads can last many years - they have often come to define them in decades like the 80s.

I think I heard Lemmings say that the one month the XBOX outsold the PS2 in the US last gen... Funny how Cows are grasping at that type of straw this gen.Shafftehr
Honestly I think the post was made because last week everyone made a big **** about the X360 outselling Wii and PS3 by a lot. Even Gamespot did a story on how it was amazing......then 7 days later it's like, oh yeah it's back to normal. That's why it's stupid to look at the X360 sales in Japan TBH. They are going to have a few weeks out of the year where they have a chance to outsell PS3. Why do Lems need to make a big deal about that? Now the Wii selling bad really doesn't mean anything to me. It's outsold the compeition so much who cares at this point.

No. The snes, PS1, and PS2 were certainly popular but they were not treated as fads.

You didn't turn on comedy central and see some comedian devote an entire section to "this new PS1 thing." hakanakumono

And? Please tell me, when do you stop calling something a fad and start aknowledging it as a successfull product ?

What seperates both? Somebody talking about it on TV makes it a fad? No, it means its popular with the mainstream crowd, and with adults, something the PS1 wasnt.

No one was using their snes as an excercise method.

Those systems weren't treated like the wii. The wii is not treated like a console. It is treated like a fun new toy by the general public. THAT is who nintendo is adopting into their fanbase.

hakanakumono

General public always treated consoles as toys. The diference is that they aknowledge it as a valid form of entertainment now instead of completely dismissing it as a loser/manbaby7/nerd's hobby.

You seem to have a wierd perception that the mainstream audience takes the PS360 seriously lol, they dont give a crap about them. Its the painfull truth

Btw, before you start throwing parades, there's nothing stopping the wii from resurging or the PS3 from dropping in sales.
