Not saying the opposite, but not saying that either. UK is traditionally close to US tastes, while Spain for example has been long-time sonyland, and france used to be pretty much the only place where Nintendo consoles would still sell decent numbers.Sho_Nuff82 said:360 soft is still smacking PS3 software in the UK for every week that didn't involve the PS3 launch. With PS3 sales (anecdotealy) burning out across the continent similarly to NA and Japan it's hard to fathom the PS3 surpassing the 360's PAL install base before the middle of 2008.
Well according to jimbo, the wii stopped selling consoles right after christmas.duderon said:So jimbo, when do you think Wii will pass 360? Don't say never you crazy bastard!!

How can anyone possibly argue that Wii will not be market leader within half a year? :lol

StevieP said:It's a fad... HD penetration... price drops... man, you name it, there WILL be a reason why the Wii will stop selling really really soon.

Krowley said:I think it will be more like 8 or 9 months, but that's a minor quibble.. not an argument.
GTA + Halo are going to sell a lot of 360's in the 4th quarter and it will slow the wii's advance a little bit.
Actually, it could be a whole year I guess.
RiskyChris said:I think Wii will catch up before the Halo/GTA spike, after which Wii and 360 will be selling almost 1:1 through the holidays.
Wii would win in holidays if there was better supply.
AniHawk said:With regards to the 360.... It's supposed to hit 12m by June.
donny2112 said:I see what you did there.
cvxfreak said:Apparently. And it's funny because it's one of the few non-Cheesemeister MC threads in 2007. :lol
AniHawk said:What? What did I do? 12m is MS's projected sales by the end of their FY (June).
Jammy said:jimbo, NPD has 360 at 5.2 million LTD. According to them, Wii is at 2.1 million LTD. Media Create has 360 at .36 million LTD and Wii at 2.37 million.
That's ~5.56 million for 360 between Japan and the U.S.
That's ~4.47 million for Wii between Japan and the U.S.
We all know 360 hasn't had much of a presence in Europe outside of the UK. It's games don't top the charts like Wii Play, Zelda: TP, etc. have for the Wii in regions like France, Norway, etc. The one thing 360 has going is its head start of nearly a year.
But it doesn't matter if your delusional self thinks the 360 is doing better than ass in Europe. The fact is that Wii is outselling the 360 per month in Japan by a bit over 300,000. That gap in the U.S. is an easy couple hundred thousand in the U.S., too, and then there's Europe (because everybody knows Wii sells more than 360 at a weekly rate now).
That's a monthly gain of easily 800,000, and I'm negating Golden Week's effect in Japan, as well as the possibility of increased Wii production from Nintendo.
Within three months the Wii will be the worldwide market leader.
duderon said:So jimbo, when do you think Wii will pass 360? Don't say never you crazy bastard!!
Krowley said:Yeah that's a possibility... I should probably rephrase what i said..
If wii doesn't pass 360 before the holiday's it won't pass it until next year. I'm still waiting for the wii to slow down a little, but maybe it won't.
I agree that the wii could potentialy outsell 360 over the holiday's but it'll be so close that nintendo won't be making much progress during that period.
Once GTA and Halo come out, i'm expecting 360 to go into a slightly higher gear for a long time, but mostly it will be in NA and that won't be enough to hold off nintendo's world wide assault.
AniHawk said:What? What did I do? 12m is MS's projected sales by the end of their FY (June). Of course, that's only 1.6m for 6 months, but hey!
jimbo said:Ahem:
My exact sentiments. By the time the Wii gets close, it will be too late. Halo 3 + GTA4 + likely price drop = 360 will outsell Wii basically everywhere except Japan and Germany(since I'm sure Halo and GTA will be banned there).

Are you sure with that statement. As little of a Halo fan I am, it did sell like 7 million each. So if Halo has a fanbase of 7 million, do you honestly believe that they all have 360's. No way.StevieP said:The Wii's 2-3 million units behind the 360 worldwide NOW, while selling 1m+/month. The 360 is selling 200-250k/month in its best market. DOES NOT COMPUTE.
BTW, GTA you can argue with, but Halo? The majority of people who want Halo 3 have an XBox 360 already, I'd bet.

super funk said:Yes, the majority of people who want Halo 3 bought an Xbox for Gears of War, unless theyre going to buy a second Xbox because they are just that darned kooky!

QFT, and I think it's not only make sense, it's guaranteed that 360 will get a port of FF XIII.donny2112 said:I see what you did there.
A Wii port of the existing PS3 FFXIII makes no sense. A 360 port of the existing PS3 FFXIII does make sense.
Correcto mundo. Everyone who wanted to play SSB, has played it dry on the GC, and what could SSBB offer over SSBM anyway, watch nobody will buy it. I doubt it hits a million in each territory. Then MP3: Corruption. The series is on a decline, and once casuals see the graphics enhancement over the previous 2 is so minimal, they will not even want to be mentioned in the same breath as the damn game. I mean How much did MP2 sell anyway. Like 2 million ww. And that was a huge drop compared to the first. So even if the popularity of Wii sustains MP2 levels of sales, its still not much compared to the 1-2 combo of GTA and Halo 3. After the abismal Sunshine, SMG isn't going to garner that much attention, and plus everyones all mario'd out after all the Mario games. There is only so much plumbing one can do, pipes don't break that often you know.StevieP said:Why is that so difficult to believe?
