2010 was supposed to be Sony's biggest year. I doubt they'll have a lineup like that again. To those interested in The sales race. The 360 is going to be the victor here.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with how much the ps3 sold. But still some people even despite what they say are looking at this a one wins one loses type of deal.
In case the ps3 fanboys haven't noticed it yet. I'm trying to console them (pun intended). Turn those frowns upside down and play some games :).
"2010 was supposed to be Sony's biggest year. I doubt they'll have a lineup like that again."
You mean like 2011, which is bigger and better in almost every way? Oh, okay. Sure. Sony's line-up will never be greater than it was in 2010. Repeat it 10,000 times and it may come true for you.
LOL No sales info was released to even give someone that impression. Considering Wii owners have DKC, Kirby, GoldenEye and Epic mickey it looks like they have plenty to chose from. At least more than that one system that got 1 racing game for the holidays.
i wish people would shut up stating the ds will surpass the ps2 i call it desperate its a hand-held and they have what four different versions no it wont surpass it bc the ps2 is a console period Jesus... where did all these retarded Nintendo fan boys come from they need to crawl back in that ditch with the 64 & game cube where the ps2 & ps1 buried it at.
Someone seems bitter. Maybe its time to get a real girlfriend and stop pretending Sony gives a damn about you. Take the Ken posters down, delete the pics of you and your PS3 from your facebook. Go out get a real girlfriend and then maybe pull your head out of your ass long enough to learn that a handheld is a console.
The only people desperate are kids like you getting PMS over your own simple minded theories on handheld consoles not being consoles any more because it takes away from the company you worship
says who? Pokemon B/W is coming out in March, Same time the 3DS is coming out. No one said anyone had to stop supporting it. Hell the ps2 still gets a few new games here and there.
Well Sony didn't officially announce their numbers like Microsoft & Nintendo did. Every report traced the quote backed to Michael Pachter so I used his name as the source.
This is the problem when NPD obscures the numbers like this. That's why I call the numbers "guesstimates" instead of "estimates" like I used to. We really don't know what's going on with sales outside of VGChartz so now I source who discussed their figures.
I used to say "NPD's Top Hardware Sales" & "NPD's Top Ten Software Sales". Now I have to say "NPD's Top REPORTED Hardware Sales" & "NPD's Top Ten COMBINED Software Sales" due to their changes. I'm really not liking NPD's lack of candor with the sales. Looks like they're trying to hide something. John Lucas
i hate all those 360 fanboys bashing on the PS3 already with sells this is just the U.S. so far, they're not including other regions like Europe or Asia. Pretty sad
The WII amazes me, why does that thing sell so well? don't get me wrong if people like it that's great but I never would have imagined it would do so well, Nintendo has a very loyal fanbase, I guess we should all be optimistic about Kinect and Move if this is anything to go by, I don't know about Sony loosing out by not aquiring the Kinect technology but if Nintendo had got it Sony and MS would not have been able to enter the motion control market, the PS3 will struggle with Move, not because it's no good but because people seem to prefer the WII for that sort of thing, Kinect will do well because in principle it offers somthing new.
Wii sells because what it brought to the videogame business is good. Nintendo fully got in touch with what makes gaming great & chose not to only sell it to kids or males.
Motion control is only part of what made Wii great. It was the inclusivity of the experience which underlines everything with the console. The controller was about versatility. You could play Wii Sports on it as motion control or play New Super Mario Bros. Wii turning it to the side like an old NES controller. It could be a light gun, a steering wheel, it can be basically a "Broken Plank" style control when paired with Nunchuk.
What I call "Broken Plank" means like you took a traditional controller & broke it in half where you have loose-handed control that you can play comfortably with both halves at your sides. Old-styled controller your hands had to be at attention in front of you. Plus it allowed left-handed players to work controller like right-handed players since Nunchuk could be played on either side. That's inclusivity once again.
The console which could hold No More Heroes and Just Dance on one platform shows what Wii could be IF the 3rd party establishment ever got behind it like they were supposed to. They've been trying to sabotage Wii from the very beginning. No doubt old grudges from the past when Nintendo ruled the 3rd party with an iron fist.
Because of them Wii is unfairly called "the casual console". It can be EVERYBODY'S console. It was supposed to be that. But even despite the 3rd party establishment's attitude toward the platform, it thrives because of what it brought to the industry in the first place. It dips when Nintendo doesn't focus on it like they should. Ever since 2009 (maybe part of 2008 even) you can tell that Nintendo put virtually all of their teams on the 3DS project. And Wii suffered because of it outside of the holidays.
I hope they start putting attention back on Wii in 2011 because this system is destined to outsell the PS2 at the VERY least. In its best case scenario this thing could become like a microwave or a refrigerator or a toaster in people's houses. The gaming appliance. Widespread & common in every household.
That's if Nintendo's wants it. They don't need a new console. Graphics? No, it doesn't matter. That's why the 360 & PS3 are changing their approaches. That's why Kinect & Move exist. Wii won, not 360 & PS3. If Nintendo starts putting more great games that sell the system they can get back to 2008 style sales. The 5-year cycle is over. This gen is going into extra innings so it's up to them to go to distance. Wii's ability to sell was never a surprise to me. I knew before this generation started that Wii was the Future of Gaming.

Nintendo did great
Microsoft did good
Sony..............
I thought Epic Mickey wasn't selling at all...? Hmmm, Interesting.. Well I guess Wii gamers gotta' play something.. lol
So, all those give away Kinect is sales accoording to NPD.

Why it says Micheal Patcher next to Sony numbers?
Edit: lol @ disagress did i say something wrong?
