I've just seen the statistics in nexgenwars

Looks like the wii will reach to 11 million before Xbox360, as the latter is constantly overestimated while the wii is underestimated, that's the only reason I found for the big sales of the wii in short periods of time and the (more astounding) decreases in the sales of the XBox360.

That or nexgenwars is part of the nintendo strategy.

That graph makes me laugh every time. It's as if the 360 is losing sales faster then it's getting them.

I don't know which rate are you talking about, it isn't the market share as the wii has less than 360, nor it is the speed at which the numbers increment because in PS3 vs XBox360 it is 1.1877265.

 

var x360_count = 10447624.402;
var ps3_count = 2838303.3;
var wii_count = 6507091.7;
var x360_count2;
var ps3_count2;
var wii_count2;

function show_count() {
x360_count = x360_count+0.4139;
ps3_count = ps3_count+0.4916;
wii_count = wii_count+0.9083;
document.getElementById('x360_div').innerHTML = addCommas(Math.round(x360_count));
document.getElementById('ps3_div').innerHTML = addCommas(Math.round(ps3_count));
document.getElementById('wii_div').innerHTML = addCommas(Math.round(wii_count));
}

 

These are they estimations for the speed at which each console is being sold, do the math for the rest if you whish.

its how fast they are selling compared to eachother.... atleast what nexgen wars is saying... look at the rate of how often the number changes

perhaps I am wrong about the 360 vs. PS3

No, look at this:

 

	x360_count = x360_count+0.4139;
ps3_count = ps3_count+0.4916;
wii_count = wii_count+0.9083;trylks
There you are
X360 vs wii = 0.4139/0.9083 = 0.455686447 
X360 vs PS3 = 0.4139/0.4916 = 0.84194467
PS3 vs Wii = 0.4916/0.9083 = 0.541230871

PS3 vs Wii = 0.4916/0.9083 = 0.541230871

Also keep in mind that the overall sales figures for the 360 continually gets cut.

I've got a reqal world formula for ya.

Go to Walmart, and ask for each system.

Count the number of systems available, and then figure the lowest.

That's the one that is selling the most.

But it is also important how much they have sold in the past, I don't feel like going to ask every day to keep some estimates that are going to be less accurate than those.

It is a good formula though.

Wait, what? 6 million already? I remember 360 being at 6 million during October of last year, almost a year after the system's launch.

Wii sales doesn't justify or guarantee the sysem being better than the competition. ;)

It all comes down to games. And right now, 360 has them. PS3 and Wii have a long road ahead for more games.

I think by focusing on younger generations Nintendo has always been relevant to the gaming industry. This generation Nintendo seems to have done enough to appeal to a broader market while still maintaining their family image.

I think the most democratic way to decide which system is the best one in a gen are the sales.

I could see the teen/young adult market being split between the PS3 and 360. Of course the Wii will be able to offer to many in that market due to the system's uniqueness but it will generally be dominated by the two graphic powerhouses. I don't see the Wii being taken very seriously in the young gamer crowd, but it doesn't mean many won't consider it as a second console.

I work at a University and suprisingly enough all the buzz is about the wii....(most casual gamers of course)...but the buzz is deafening compaired to the PS3 and 360..I'm puttin in a new game room/pool hall on campus and the number one thing requested for it is a Wii.....by far....
