Doesnt matter any way..you keep playing mario, zelda and gang, and I'll keep playing the gears, halos, etc. As software is what wins, not the number of hardware you have out there. And as long as there are games we like available, &%$@ hardware numbers.

Wii software is selling though. I'd venture so far as to say that the Wii has overall had considerable success in the North American region. If it keeps selling like this it's bound to see enhanced third-party support, just as the DS has been lately.Norse said:again, hardware means less than the software....wii owners software choices will answer that.
Yeah, without it it's practically impossible to analyze the market.davepoobond said:i always miss the illegal sales data

Odysseus said:while all of gaf is ready to say they've accurately estimated europe, i won't fall in that trap. but yeah... in retrospect, i do believe 360 will be second by the end of the year and in north america sometime next year. i got my brainwaves mixed up.
I believe that's correct, or nearly correct and rounded off. Someone post up if I'm wrong. The question becomes "How many 360s have sold in Europe?" but I think a different view of the same question is "How many 360s have sold in Europe as a percentage of US sales?"Raw64life said:Don't know if this was pointed out already but using NPD and Media Create, Wii JP+NA hardware sales have passed 360 JP+NA hardware sales.
Wii Hardware:
NA - 3,190,000
JP - 3,060,000
Total: 6,250,000
360 Hardware:
NA - 5,750,000
JP - 390,000
Total: 6,140,000

Zelda, WarioWare, Paper Mario and now Mario Party are all selling better or faster than the Gamecube counterparts. I'm expecting that to hold true for Metroid Prime, Super Mario, and Smash Bros. too.

laserbeam said:Mario party was a franchise destined for greatness on the Wii. Its very likely another top 10 title for july if junes any indication.
Reviews were overly harsh cause it is the 8th in the series of minigame collections but for the most part its everything it should be. Could they do better sure and im sure they will

TheGreatDave said:So you think Wii can be the best selling console but have the worst lineup of games? Give me one example of a console with that scenario taking place.
Agent Icebeezy said:I think that this scenario is very likely this time around. It's weird when I have people over my house. I have the MS racing wheel with a Playseat. I have VF5 arcade stick, Guitar Hero. They want to play Wii Sports. In any event, 3rd party still seems to be scared that their games won't sell on the Wii, so that will keep them at bay.
Skiptastic said:2. Nintendo continues to really help only themselves. Capcom's probably pretty happy with the #9 position for RE4 on the Wii, but they should realize that they could have probably gotten up above Forza 2 or higher if they had released it on the 360. Which leads me to point #3...

That's an image rotator, you have to be specific or I won't know what you're talking about.bmf said:Branduil:
Where the **** isfrom?
Wii -- 381.8k
DS -- 561.9k
davepoobond said:i always miss the illegal sales data
psp is doing really good. pretty much DS levels when that thing started to explode with NSMB. But where the **** are the game sales for that platform? DS only has 2 or 3 games, though, so its not like that's even making a huge splash compared to the others either.
AdmiralViscen said:If you'd seen the fake numbers you would not be comparing PSP to DS.
TheGreatDave said:This troubles me. I mean...kids play video games. Kids have less to do in summer. Students play video games, and they have less to do in summer. And it's 6 months before Christmas so you're not getting people "holding off" to make purchases of bigger titles.
Norse said:not what I said....but this gen is unlike any of the past.....when has there been 2 consoles head and shoulders more powerful than the 3rd? I will side with sony and MS and say that the wii isnt competing with 360 and ps3. Wii is casuals and nintendo gamers....ps3 and 360 are power gamers, pc gamers. Totally seperate just as is the hardware. IMO
I'll say that the 360 and the PS3 aren't competing with the Wii, but for entirely different reasons.Norse said:not what I said....but this gen is unlike any of the past.....when has there been 2 consoles head and shoulders more powerful than the 3rd?
