in my book nintendo has the best artists, programmers and game makersmr_bishiuk said:
dunno i just see it as a matter of taste
insomniac is a thirdparty that is practically a sony firstparty
epic received huge money for gears exclusivity
those two companies are never going to work on the wii... no matter how powerful it was..

Granted, Nintendo didn't have any high profile core titles out for Christmas but, since the launch of the Wii, Nintendo fanboys have gotten Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Fire Emblem, Smash Bros., and Mario Kart. That's a lot of high profile titles in a relatively short period of time. I honestly don't know anyone can honestly suggest that Nintendo has abandoned the core fans.

Playstation 2 206k
Playstation 3 378k
PSP 421k
= 1,005,000 units of hardware total for Sony.
The PS3 sales are not good at all but imagine how worse it would be if they didn't have the PSP or PS2 to soften that blow for the gaming division.

I can't add anything more than has already been said, though the sour grapes exhibited by Xbox and PS3 fans in this thread is unsurprising.
Now, where are my charts?

No way in hell I'm gonna be able to catch up with this thread, so I'll just have to do this in what time I can.
Thanks. Looks like Wii gained about 820k over Ps360 this month. I expected it too gain, but not by that much. Wii has shot past PSP and looks to be making a run on DS numbers now.
Thanks. Wasn't PS2's highest November (2001) about 1.5m, and the December after that 2m+? How much over 2m was it, cause I don't think Wii's November beat PS2's best December. If it did...wow.
Ouch, down on all 3 products? So glad I don't work for Sony's PR department. I can't wait to see how they spin this.
Thanks.
While true, at this point I have to think they'd run afoul of production issues. Unless they increased production between November and December, or changed their shipping methods, I just don't see how they can double their November numbers. They did announce increased shipments between October and November, and most of us just underestimated how much increased. If Nintendo comes out in a few weeks and says they've increased production/shipments again for December, I will gladly revise my opinion.

I personally wont double dip, as my 360 collection is big enough as it is, but seriously Insomniac, you deserve better, bring your shit over to the 360 and get the sales you deserve.

Any numbers not included in the OP that we have leaked?
You were asking why no one cares that MS and Sony outsource, and it's because the they create and release plenty of internally developed gamer games too. There is a current software drought on the Wii, specifically for gaming enthusiasts. Therefore we start questioning where the games are coming from for us. There is no need to do the same for MS and Sony because the games are here, they're out and we're playing them. Future lineups are great but I can't play them until they come out, and when they do they might be poor quality games (see: Warioland, Disaster, or in other words don't count your chickens).Captain Smoker said:
One other problem the PS3 has now too are that stand alone blu ray players are catching up and are becoming as good, if not slightly better than the PS3 for movie playbook. At a much cheaper price. You can get a BD Live Panasonic player now at amazon for 228, and it is basically the equivalent of a PS3. If you don't want to play games save yourself 160 bucks and buy the stand alone player.

'What ifs' rarely bother me, it's pointless speculation. R2 is selling well, better than any other Insom title to date. And 'winning team'? :lol
Problem with that is summed up with:

It really is time for Insomniac to move on. If they truly are an independent third party, it just doesn't make any logical sense for them to leave all that money on the table by sticking to a machine that can't move copies of their games.
Going multiplatform will double if not triple their sales from what they currently are.

I can't speak for him, but I've personally been playing Animal Crossing, Wario Land, Wii Music, Super Smash Bros, and Blast Works. It's easy to build up a major Wii backlog, there are lots of quality games around.

Since it bomba'd out of the top ten, Fallout 3 (guessing here) is just over 600k in the US?

It's not even a what-if. It happened. Look at Gears and Resistance. Both high quality shooters, very similar in their demographic appeal. But one sells WAY more than the other because it's on the system with the larger and faster-growing hardware base. I submit that if Gears and Resistance were flipped (Gears PS exclusive, Resistance 360) you'd see the numbers flip too. So the point has already been proven.frankthurk said:
