He could just extend the date a little bit and it’ll have a higher chance of being correct, seeing as the PS3 will dominate the wii in sales at one point

Ok since you guys are so confident in sony then prove some facts on why it can surpass the wii in terms of sales and games. That is if any of you even have the balls to prove any of us wrong.

My take is, PS3 is gaining steam, while the Wii is losing steam. Alot of PS3 fans are sitting back(still toying with PS2) waiting for the release of the games coming this fall(I read many and many message boards, this is what i read).

PS2 will start to really fade off early fall. This leaves all those Sony fans hungry to want that PS3 they could not afford a year ago, but now can since they saved up for it.

There could be many more reasons, and probably will so. Mix that all together, and you will have a system that will shoot up in sales, especially over the holiday season.

If you read around on gaming message boards, you will see Sony and MS areas always packed with viewers, while Nintendo has barely any, and i’m talking it is this way on at least a dozen boards i visit.

Read around, and you will get the feel that all the Nintendo fanboys have been had, none are left without a system, no one is complaining “i want a wii” like Sony fans are.

This is a hunch, but i feel 100 percent about Wii going down the drain rather quickly, quicker than Gamecube did.

Fact: Gamecube was selling just as well as Wii is through that period. I’ll get PS3 fan to post that article back up. Gamecube soon died off.

you are incorrect sir!



wii sales are still going strong, and this is about the time that gc sales dropped. in fact. this is the exact time gc sales dropped, but the wii is still doing well.

Alright, so you’re saying THIS IS THE TIME it started to drop? Interesting.

I said, through THIS time period(meaning what has passed already) Gc and Wii were almost the same, you just proved my point to what i was talking. No need for PS3 fan.

You also say Wii is still going strong. Are you saying the past month, or are you predicting the future?

Here she blows.



History proves that Sony gets off to slow starts(my guess would be cause they cater to the old system long after the release of the new one, leaving fans to wait for the newer one)

Nintendo has always got off to fast starts, but than plummeted.

no, you miss my point. first off you said that the wii will die out far earlier then the gc, while in reality at best the opposite is true in that the wii will die out well after. but, we have yet to see any evidence that it will die out.

here is what i’m saying....

on week 18 of the gc’s launch, its sales drastically were cut and never recovered. week 18 was the last week of the wii’s that was recorded, and it is still doing great. now, every week that the wii does well is a week that the gc was doing badly. the wii has now outlasted the gc.

The wii is not slowing down anytime soon. It is selling because it has innovative games and they are fun. People want fun games but with the PS3 they are just getting a whole lot of nothing. The PS3 just vomits up good graphics and nothing else right now. Sony has to change their ways for their system to sell.

Ah is the little 5 yr old getting angry. Boo hoo. Let me play you a fucking song on the world’s smallest violin. Nonsense. You come in here, make an accusation and followup with no researd or trends or instated sales to even support what you’ve written. This is a joke and yet you call me getting owned daily.

Haha I mean unless your pulling something that’s just openly sarcastic that I’m not getting you really must be out of your fucking mind. You have to be out of your mind bro. I think something has gone to your head.

Yea I think highly of myself and yea I think my opinions are right. Everyone thinks there opinion is right. That’s why it’s called your opinion. The correct definintion of opinion is what you believe is right.

I may think all that but I can still respect others opinions. Can’t say much for you. All you do is go and get your opinions and expect everyone else to think the exact same. And if they don’t well oh my god they must be bias, stupid, arrogant, and retarded.

So really I don’t have to say anything. You’ve made a predictions probably without looking at any background facts and expect to be right. You’ll not only turn out wrong but I’m still going to laugh openly about it.

You’ve definetly marked your words. Well that’s why I avoid using that cause people remember. You better hope your not still on these forums when the end of 2007 nears. You won’t want to be here. That’s how damn cocky I am. Of course I can back it up. You can’t back your statments up. So I’ll be as damn cocky as I want.

Wait wait wait. This is your backup. Your reasons to yoru statements. There is not one fact in there. Haha most of them are lies. PS3 is gaining steam. Where the fuck did you get that info. IN February in North America the PS3 sold 136,000 units. Over 200,000 behind the Wii and over 100,000 behind the 360. Yet it’s gaining steam right.

The PS3 last week in Japan sold less than the original PS2. The PS2 is close to dead in Japan by the way. Not only all this PS3 is doing worse in japan than the original GC. The GC only sold 4 million total there. Even worse in Japan and America the software sales are so awful that you’d swear the console already died. This is talked about all the time.

And yea there are a lot of fans sitting back waiting to decide but what god damn info do you have to say they are going to choose the PS3. What info is this. I’ve never even heard fo that. If we are looking for a small public opinion check recent polls. Usually when I check those Wii is on top.

And supposedly they are saving up $600 to buy that console. When they could get a Wii for $250 or a 360 for $400. That is not a consumer’s logic. Especially of a casual gamer. The only logic you see that of is the strong hardcore base. ANd if you know anything about this the hardcore gaming base is only 20-30%. 10% of that probably being for Playstation brandname. And of that 10% most of them probably bought it at launch.

So after reading all that you’ve yet to still prove how PS3 is even going to make this burst. Hell I could take your side and think of lot better reasons on how it could cause to win a debate ya got to know both sides. You don’t know any side.

Oh GC was selling as well as Wii in the same timeframe. Well prove it god damnit. Stop sitting idly back. Show me a damn chart or some numbers. I’m not just gonna take your word for it. Ya don’t have to provide a link just show me some god damn numbers. How can you make a prediction in the market without providing numbers.

Hey Hiroshima, you still think the wii is doing bad well check this out:

Wii Shortage Still In Effect
Posted by sjohnson - Wednesday, April 11, 2007 8:35 AM
People are STILL having problems finding a Wii, and the shortage isn’t going to let up soon, according to Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo’s VP of marketing and corporate affairs.

On a recent podcast, she said, “The product is so very popular that we may see a supply / demand situation last for some time.”

She also said, “We are at absolute maximum production and doing everything we can. The number of units that we have been able to produce has far exceeded our hardware production in the past and the production levels of a lot of our competitors but demand continues to be really high. People are being really diligent about working with retailers to locate one but we are cognisent of the fact that a lot of fans are not able to get their hands on one yet. We are asking them to be patient and to know that we are working on this as fast as we can.”

So... anyone out there having trouble gettin a Wii? Is it all hype? What do you think?

If the wii is losing steam then how come in its 5th month out it is still very hard to find? If there is a shortage of wii’s after so many have been sold and many other people are awaiting it then how can it be losing? People can now just wlatz right into an EB games and get a PS3 there.

Are you fucking retarded. Where on there do you see Wii and GC sales ever being the same. Teh only god damn reason GC was even going up at one time was thx to the holiday season. Thus why you see that thicker orange line. But look at Wii sales. It’s been going up the entire time at that rate. Wii after holiday season didn’t die out but GC did. I mean I don’t think your blind so why can’t you read the graphic like sane people.

Gosh I shouldn’t have to respond to such idiocy especially from a grown man. Read the god damn chart and look at the trends. Wii kept going up while GC started off going up then faded then went up again thx to holiday season then right after went down. This is like 2nd grade math in reading a chart.

You see once again your limited knowledge of anything market wise falls in. Let’s go on the Nintendo consoles first.

The only console in there for NA that’s Nintendo to be sold out in those 4 months like the Wii is the N64. N64 went on to sale a respectable 20 million in US. So yea Wii is definetly following similar trends in US to N64 but I think you’ll soon see why Wii will be above that.

GC is that high after that thx to 2 months of sales. The launch window. Yet if you know anything you’ll know it diddn’t even sellout. Yea all those sales for GC isn’t a sellout. Wii’s is meaning it was in higher demand meaning sales will continue to grow faster.

Now there are a few things you’ve failed to realize about the PS1 and PS2 and how it’s different in there starting off low success than the PS3. For starters PS1 was a new console from a new maker in the business meaning it basically has to start off slow. The system started off much like the DS where it wasn’t until it got a huge game, that being FF7, that really kicked off the console. In NA it really struggled to outsell the N64.

As for the PS2 of course you failed to mention that it was soldout. Why make a comparison when you won’t add such very important details. Also it was coming off the huge success of PS1. Always hard to do that.

Same could be said about PS3 but it just isn’t the same. PS3 isn’t sold out in US. ANd it’s also not starting to slowly affect sales of it’s predecessory. PS3 is not following the same trends of those and for good reasons. But you failed to look at the important details. Otherwise you wouldn’t have posted this chart as it more helps my case than yours.
