Double posting bastard! I shall smite you! (see: sig)


Always good to hear the elderly approve of Nintendo's new direction...

It was in the news a while back, a few big retirement homes in Japan and Hospitals have now got DS Lites fitted with brain age in their wards/rooms.

I'm serious, topics like this should just be read-only topics.

[ShadowMarth]

Umm... why? Then people couldn't comment or add new polls.

For some reason you have just proved your point by updating the poll from www.nexgenwars.com

Wii has been out a week and has over 500,000 sold, 1/15th that of 360 and just under twice that of PS3. 360 has been out a few days over a year (52 weeks) and sold about 7.5 million, which is about 145,000/week. Give Wii 52 weeks at its current rate and it'll sell 26 million. Given all the current rates, Wii will pass 360 in somewhere around 20 weeks, or in April, at 10 million, and it already passed PS3 (233,000/week) the same day it was launched so PS3 only has 360 to compete with. PS3 would have half as many sold in 20 weeks, and it would take about 90 weeks (under 2 years) for it to catch up with 360 at 20 million (Wii would be at 45 million then).
This is just for fun, don't take any of these predictions seriously because obviously sales rates change a lot over time, but I think it could be used to get a general idea which console would probably beat which. It's about time I put my math to work anyway.

I'm surprised the Wii is selling so slowly right now. Luckily there's still several launches left, particularly Japan and Europe. Heck, it's only out in US right now.

Is this the first time a gaming console was sold in the U.S first? It seems to be to me.

Well...you got the XBOX, the 360, the DS just to name a few.
