lol, dude, no offense, but the reason the wii is winning is because regular people bought wiis, while its mostly the people that spend all their time playing games like world of warcraft that bought ps3's. Even if the ps3 started making things regular people would like, its still too far behind to win. Also a big part of the 360 getting more sales was the natal just shown.

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="Packagez"]The 360 just outsold the Wii in the UKPackagez
What has that to do with the PS3?

The 360 will eventually get discontinued by M$, xbox isnt sony's biggest concern. The WiiFAD was, now that thats over, Its almost too easy for Sony to start dominating again

so the Wiifad has been over for the 3rd time now right? :|

I am still trying to figure out how the PS3 as always in last place is a good thing for the PS3. So the 360 for a certain amount of time sold better then the Wii. The end result is whichever one out sold the other they are both out selling the PS3. Only in here could this thread happen. Sometimes I feel as if SW is a black hole that sucks in all logic.

The fact is, the wii is dipping in sales, in japan.

And other countries are following up.

The question is, will the wii 2 match its successor? Probably not if the wii 2 is just like the wii.

I think nintendo have had their '15 minutes of fame'.

Either way, the most technological one wins, in this case ps3/360 and lets not forget crysis, otherwise, we'd be stuck in the atari era.

Its been coming for a LONG long time, but Now that the 360 just outsold the Wii in the UK, That is the sign the FAD is finally over. And we all know M$ will stop supporting the 360 soon (just like the original XBOX) and then Sony will be on TOP again. just like Last gen. Also with a new Price drop and God of War 3 (New Graphics KING) it will reach out to the mainstream and casual audience that the xbox couldn't. Lol@ all the people to doubted Sony, looks like they get the last laughPackagez

Whats with all the lvl 2 fanbois today

Dont count your chickens before they hatch, outselling once could be due to a majority of factors. And MS wont be cutting support anytime soon. They dont have natal out and when they do, they will support it for at least 2 years

Are u forgetting last gen? GC was the best technically and ps2 the worst, and which one won? I love how everyone is so happy that its getting outsold. Its sad really. BTW this is a recession, and also the slow point in the year. Why dont we wait and see what happens during the holiday season

lol, no but i guess your post is the same that sheeps and lemming where thinking last gen when the ps2 outsold the rest even if the xbox had better graphical capeabilitys, and the GCN had most GoTYs the wii has still sold more then both of them combined, and it will take some time to sell more then that, and considering the wii is the quickest selling console ever, and wii sports and wii fit are both the higest selling games, i dont belive that the others 2 have a chance this gen, but hey better luck next gen

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"] Fads don't last three years. Packagez
Wii is a special Kinda FAD, it has marketing, Blind Sheep buying Cooking Mama sequels and Soccer moms with WiiFit boards. so it was gonna take awhile, but now that thats done, Ps3 has nothing to worry about

It's "delightful" topics like this one that make me firmly believe that members under a 100-post limit should not be able to start threads.

hey Packagez, can I get the lotto numbers?

anyway, I agree that the Wii "fad" is coming to an end, thankfully... but everything else is pure guess work and speculation.

And I don't think MS will do like they did with the Xbox to the 360. Currently, it is just too expensive in this economy to not just support the heck out of what you have, and then wait for times to get better in order to unleash your next beast on to the market. I don't think there are enough people willing to put forth a bunch of money on a new console right now, considering the unemployment rate/etc.

Edit: Note, I don't mean that the wii "fad" (as some people call it) is actually ending, it just seems that way, from what I can see. I could be wrong. IE, Get off me fanboys! I hate having to explain myself, but sometimes it is the only way to prevent silly flame wars.

I don't think the fad is over. They've just reached that certain point of market share where sale will start to slow. Most of the people that will have one would have bought one already

As for PS3 pushing the 360 out of scond place...that would pretty much take a miracle. It's been show time and time again that games aren't the selling feature of the PS3. Obviously as they've been having a great year and are actually selling worse then ever, i think.

They just need to make the PS3 more of a social networking device. That's why the 360 is starting to build up steam, I imagine that facebook on the dashboard isn't gonna hurt it either.

A little more PS3-PC/Ipod connectivity would be a great thing as well but sadly Sony is too damn stuck up to include features like this.

and here i thought mostly movie buffs were buying ps3s as its game sales are not that of a console that only has "hardcore" gamers, and by hardcore i mean they spend a lot of time and money on games

You are terribly optimistic. I have doubts Sony could even come in 2nd place this generation. To overtake the Wii, Sony would just about need divine intervention at this stage. SpruceCaboose

Not enough, I'm afraid. Look at the PS2. It didn't just have great quality, but it had a staggering quantity. PS3 doesn't have that.

No, really. There are some cows (space abduction rejects, perhaps) that believe wholeheartedly that the release of GoW3, GT5, or some other thing will trigger some hypnotic reaction latent in the 100-million-plus PS2 gamers of the past and they will instantly sell their firstborns, mothers, or if necessary souls to grab a PS3 and every 1st-party game available for it, that the PS3 prints money, that PS3 sales will shoot through the roof and catapult it from laughingstock to gaming god of gods in 15 minutes flat, and that everything Sony touches is gold because they draw on powers beyond the known universe. Otherwise, the end of the generation will herald the end of the world, the universe, and everything, at which point nothing will matter, anyway. (sigh) PS. Two to one someone actually believes me.

No, it's capitalized because it's a special kind of fad that manages to be successful for a long time... You know... when it stops being a fad...

Not as bad as that guy who claimed Half-Life 2 ripped off of Halo...

Or the guy who referred to Starcraft as "Starflop."

Or the guy who said that Ocarina of Time sucked because it wasn't Quake II...
