Hype, hype, hype.
Or, more likely, console gamers just won't be able to cry out how much better their games are just because they sell more.pizzaguysrevenge said:I support the death of the HD consoles.
PC gaming shall rise again!
UncleGuito said:No, it really isn't. Shows that the industry is pretty screwed up.
Anyways, since when is such widespread, blatant trolling permitted?

Either way, as mentioned, I'm gonna go with the guess that the HD consoles will simply live longer than the Wii. Its just a matter of WHEN the Wii loses steam.

It does. So does the PS3.Cow Mengde said:Because the Xbox 360 has real exclusive games that aren't watered down PC ports. :lol
Jokeropia said:No there isn't. In fact, in most of the world it's price advantage is equal or lower than the GC's was last generation. Wii is more expensive at this point in time than the PS2 was after the same amount of time last gen.
Mind finding one analyst who did actually come close too these numbers, particularly the low ps3/360 ones? Pretty much no one expected these numbers. I'm tired of people hating on the man. Pachter is right more often than he is wrong. Obviously he does his job well for the most part, otherwise, well, he wouldn't have his job still now would he?VALIS said:Oh, and it just bears mentioning again, Pachter bungles another month. If I ever feel like investing in video game stock, it won't be with Wedbush.
Jtyettis said:Yea his upgrade theory is totally out the window at this point. I do hope he has come to see this from here on out. It will get better, it will get better. Actually not anytime soon. His updated figures were better, but I wonder at what point he went from 500k to 290k. However, the bigger point is people are not upgrading to PS3 with GTA IV and they are definitely not upgrading to a point of selling 500k in May or June and on down the line.

HD consoles need a price cut, at this rate I fully expect MGS4 to underperform.
And to anyone thinking the Wii is not effecting the others and using the economy being slow as an arguement are just mad fools.

No, the hype can last as long as Nintendo wants it to. If they keep sending minimal amounts of Wii's to stores each month, people will continue to snatch them up without even thinking.-COOLIO- said:hype can only last so many years.
it might be hard for some people here to believe but first timers love it. i've seen it for myself.

In all seriousness, MS/Sony can't afford to take huge hits to the bottom line when launching their next consoles, it's just not feasible. They're definitely going to hold back in order to keep costs in check. MS seems reluctant to take hits to the bottom line right now, and Sony wants to be profitable this fiscal year. They're definitely going to cut back in the future, no two ways about it.
HD crowd is tapped out at the current price points. Next month will be even more interesting.

Pachinko said:so is it wrong to hate nintendo and it's stupid crappy console more with each passing month? I mean don't get me wrong I've had a blast with mario galaxy, metroid prime 3, twilight princess and no more heroes but seriously 700,000 + consoles sold in a month with absolutly fucking nothing worth buying on it ?
I think we can consider april 2008 as the official toe tag for real videogames. Thanks nintendo, go fuck yourselves for ruining real games with this casual bullshit.
I allready barely consider the wii a game system, to me it's a toy that happens to play games whereas I look at the 360 as a videogames machine and the ps3 as a multimedia hub. I can atleast take comfort in the fact that 3rd parties release tons of shit that doesn't seem to sell on wii so they can still put real games on 360 and ps3.
LCGeek said:Nintendo should yank the chains on the big 3rd parties now. Been calling for this action for months either start putting real titles consumers want both casuals or hardcore nintendo gamers or no Wii/DS. Publishers would shit their pants if they knew they had to rely ps family and the hd for money considering the state of games. Even if nintendo don't take action the publishers are screwed if they keep putting crap on Wii then in 2k10 finally get real stuff as they by then most nintendo consumers casual, non game, or hardcore won't give two craps about what's coming out from them. So knew this generation like the psx era was gonna be getting rid of a lot childish and immature publishers who don't bother to deal with nintendo because of bad blood. This time their own inept and conservative behaviors are gonna be their deaths bout time as it should cleaned out a lot the first time.
timetokill said:Insanity. Beautiful, delicious insanity.
I gotta say, I'm loving this ride. There are CEOs screaming at the top of their lungs right now, and then weeping quietly.
Companies like EA, etc... had basically ZERO planned for Wii when it was first announced. "Revolution? Nintendo's gonna get third, no need to make anything for it." And they signed all the big budget games to the "safe bet" platforms, 360 and PS3.
Over the next year you are going to see a lot of big games heading to the Wii. Stuff like Mad World is just a taste. Companies are going to be leaping onto Wii and Wii Ware. The next-next Dragon Quest (after the DS one) will probably be announced for the Wii. We've already seen that Monster Hunter has been. With sales of Wii Guitar Hero, Activision is going to be focusing pretty heavily on making sure that cow keeps producing milk. EA already jumped on board with a pretty big-budget title in Boom Blox, and we'll definitely keep seeing more from them.
At this point, ignoring Nintendo platforms is just leaving money on the table.

But NPD dosn't track that.
If Nintendo fully stocked store shelves and kept up with demand, the hype would decrease, and so would sales (as the Wii becomes more mainstream and people realize that it's no longer a rarity).AniHawk said:700,000 is a minimal amount?
