how many ppl bought wiis while waiting for price of ps3 to drop? That's atleast what Michael Patcher said that many gamers who are going to buy ps3s were sitting on the fence and bought the wii as a secondary system. I personally know this is true for many of my friends, and in fact my bro bought a wii only to waste time before buying a ps3. Stop hiding behind sales sheep and realize that you guys have slim pickings and are the victims of Nintendo selling out to casuals.

I can basically tell how System Wars will bethis gen. Whenever MS buys an exclusive or some exlusive content the lemmings will get pompous, the cows will always be hyping some ground breaking game, and the sheep will be trumpetting the sales advantage. If you think the wii's improving library will help it inSystemWarsyou would be mistaken. The wii will always be slammed for having inferior hardware, and you will never win that battle

even if you get severe ownage against some with the gameplay over graphics argument, the next day there will be someone else saying the same stuff

Been holding a grudge eh? No, unless the Wii has achieved the same level of success as the PS2 both saleswise and games-wise, I don't think you have the bragging rights to say it has won. Especially not so early in the console cycle. Ludicrous.

PS. It doesn't have to sell 120 million consoles. I don't think it will anyway. Just over 50 million would drive home the point.

I guess we should include the Ipod in system sales too, since you can play Brick and Solitaire on it.

how many ppl bought wiis while waiting for price of ps3 to drop? That's atleast what Michael Patcher said that many gamers who are going to buy ps3s were sitting on the fence and bought the wii as a secondary system. I personally know this is true for many of my friends, and in fact my bro bought a wii only to waste time before buying a ps3. Stop hiding behind sales sheep and realize that you guys have slim pickings and are the victims of Nintendo selling out to casuals.jyoung312

That assumption is wrong if many ppl bought the Wii that doesnt mean they were wating for a ps3 price drop, maybe they were just getting reading to buy a 360 like me go play ur "waiting game" for the PS3

Ok so if were including PC in sales then where do we start counting? and what do we start counting?

You obviously cant count every single PC sold.

I bought the Sims 2 for my laptop, am I considered a PC gamer?

CaseyWegner

ok. look at gaming graphics card sales. still way more than the wii.

Half of the people I know that have a medium to high-end pc, which includes a medium to high-end video card that could be used for playing don't play games on their computer and have bought these machines because fooled by promise of raw processing power which they will still only use to type with word or do basic math in excel. There is no way to count how many gaming pcs are actually used for gaming. Your argument, especially within this topic, is ludicrous.

EDIT:

Also, the same thing goes for half of the people I don't know. I've worked in a PC store and I actually sold high-end computers to business men who will only use them for office applications, internet and maybe solitaire. And porn. All business men love porn.
