[QUOTE="darth-pyschosis"][QUOTE="myke2010"][QUOTE="darth-pyschosis"] Wii sales will slow but not very much.
Wii sales will hit 15 million in 2007 and hit 25-27 million by end of 2008 and numerous third parties will announce huge multiplatform shockers for it like Resident Evil 5, Bioshock 2, a Grand Theft Auto game, a Kingdom Hearts game.
PS3 will hit 7 million in 2007. It will gradually reach 16 million at least by 2008's end.
Heavy hitters like MGS 4, DMC 4, FF 13, Silent Hill 5 and RE 5 will push it up but still a distant second to the Wii.
Sony will introduce another model and the price will still hover between 400-600 dollars if not higher (160GB HDD?)
The 360 will lose a huge sales booster in the lack of anything Halo.
It will have good multiplats, and good games like Fable 2, Alan Wake and such but will lose esclusives like Deadrising 2, bioshock 2, and Mass Effect 2.
360 sales MIGHT pass 13 million this year. Bringing there whopping 2007 sales total to around 4-5million and will be tied or slightly ahead of the PS3 by this time next year.
the lack of any relavance in Japan will kill a good gaming machine in the 360.
The Wii will live up to its hype even more as will the PS3.
In 2009 the Wii will have a great year with possibly new Star Foxs, A new Zelda, Pikmin, and Fatal Frame companied by some shocking new titles like RE 5, Bioshock 2 and such.

How will the Wii get those multiplats when the system lacks the power to run them without significant downgrades in both graphics and size of environments? Do you truly think people will flock to the Wii to play downgraded multiplats when they can play a vastly superior version on a console that is only $30 more? Also, how can you say the 360 sales will fall off due to lack of anything Halo when Halo Wars is due out in spring and Bungie has already stated they are working on another Halo title? I assume you were saying the 360 has no big titles like Halo left, but that's pretty much true of all next gen consoles. However the 360 does have some very big titles still left which you go on and list, but you say the 360 will lose these exclusives due to poor sales. I'm curious why you think those title won't spur further 360 sales when you yourself say they are indeed good titles. I'm also curious why you think the 360 sales will drop off after it's mega-hit Halo 3, but don't forsee the same event for the Wii after Super Mario Galaxies and SSBB. Or why you see PS3 sales surpassing any system when it's major titles are yet to come. It seems you are predicting what you want to happen, rather then what is likely to happen.You don't seem to understand.
Companies make products to make money.
Its a business.
Take Two has already said its possible Bioshocks sequel could end up on Wii just as much as it could PS3.
For christ sake EA just said they might even make Crysis on the DS.
Will it look as pretty?
no.
could it rule? yes.
could PS2 Resident Evil 4 look as good as Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube? No.
But was it made? yes.
No, I understand perfectly, however you list those Wii titles as multiplats which indicate they are essentially the same game. However without significant downgrades in the areas I mentioned this simply won't happen. It's not a slight on the Wii, it's simply reality. Yes, Crysis could come to the DS, but I guarentee it won't sell to the same consumers buying it for the PC as it will be a significantly different game. Yes, RE4 didn't look as good on the PS2 as the GC, but gameplay wise it was exactly the same. This would not be true of a GTA4 or RE5 port to the Wii. The system simply lacks the memory and computing power to match the PS3 and 360 versions. This would result in smaller, less interactive environment and fewer onscreen enemies resulting in different gameplay. So again, do you think those titles will draw people to the Wii when they can play a vastly superior version on a console that's only $30 more? Yes, companies are in this to make money, but consumers want value for their money and I don't think the Wii can deliver that in their multiplats. There's a reason why 1st party games account for the majority of the Wii's attach rate.Game like Resident Evil and GTA don't sell and aren't good coz of how many baddies you put on the screen or just how smart they are. RE 4 had good A.I. but was easily predictable hours into the game.
those games shine in other areas. Resident Evil is Resident Evil coz of its intense puzzle solving, good level design and atmospheric gameplay. I mean Fatal Frame is scarrier than recent REs and the Wii is good enough for it.
So gameplay-wise why wouldn't these games be the same on the Wii other than motions?
and the wii already has million sellers in MP3, RE 4, Red Steel, Paper Mario, Zelda which are all very hardcore games.
plus with the PS3, there is no way to deny the 360 has sold 2 million this year with halo 3.
PS3 has sold 5 million this year with practically nothing.
and 2008 gets better for them.
i own a wii and will buy a 360 on november 21st for mass effect but the 360 will have the same finish it did last gen.
if you love halo 3 does it make it any less of a game to you coz its upscaled into HD? No. coz the game is what you love.
devs. will choose soon. 2008 or so. which system to support the most. it may be that there are even more multiplats and that the Wii gets a few surprising titles.
the 360 can't possibly win this generation if it can't outsell its most popular game in halo 3 in all of 2007.
a game shouldn't outsell its own system in what is suppose to be the prime of its life.
