Wii reaches 9 million, a million behind 360

Posted Jul 17, 2007 at 5:18PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: News Tags: Japan, Sony, VG Chartz

It's official: there is no stopping Nintendo's momentum. As if it was just yesterday since the Wii reached 8 million, Ninty's product of innovation and waving sticks have finally arrived at the 9 million milestone - just a million away from Xbox 360.

Looking at the numbers VG Chartz had more than a month back, the Wii sold almost a million units since early June. The PlayStation 3 had a solid month and sold more than the 360, but both pale in comparison to Wii's performance.

On the handhelds side, the DS continues to dominate with almost 45 million units sold. Sony's PSP, while behind by a huge margin, still experience healthy sales as it got past the 22 million mark.

Let's not beat around the bush, here's what VG Chartz gathered:

Xbox 360: 10.08m (0.41m Japan 6.50m America 3.16m Others)
Wii: 9.05m (2.98m Japan, 3.64m America, 2.42m Others)
PS3: 3.69m (1.00m Japan, 1.58m America, 1.11m Others)

DS: 44.97m (18.14m Japan, 13.11m America, 13.72m Others)
PSP: 22.15m (5.75m Japan, 8.63m America, 7.78m Others)

MS will probably regain the no1 spot once halo3 drops. And sony should get back to being 1/2 of what MS will sell at the same time once MGS4 drops (as long as it stays a sony exclusive that is).

Wow, I just noticed that both of sonys products are behind and their next up rival has sold over twice as many in both territories. Better catch up!

# you don't know sh|t about specs STFU — Guest 2007-07-17 18:44

Moron, its not comparable its PS2, its slighty better then xbox1 (which owns PS2 in terms of graphical power). Get your facts straight, you idiot. Look at Super Smash Brothers Brawl pictures. PS2 doesn't come close to doing that.

Stupid ass fanboy.

# good month for the PS3 — Quixand 2007-07-17 18:48

actually selling more than the 360.. although it doesn't give the monthly numbers in this article.

a combination of bad press for the 360 (with the height of the unreliability issues) and a bit of momentum from Sony from the 60GB pricecut before E3 and hike of hype on its upcoming games.

hope Sony follows thru and pushes harder.

# WHOA!! Wait Up!! — Quixand 2007-07-17 18:58

i went back to QJ's previous article and I just want to point out one thing:

Here's the Numbers in QJ's previous article dated July 5:

Xbox 360 - Worldwide: 10.13; Japan: 0.41; America: 6:47; Others: 3.25

PlayStation 3 - Worldwide: 3.61; Japan: 0.98 ; America: 1.56; Others: 1.07

Wii - Worldwide: 8.85; Japan: 2.91; America: 3.57; Others: 2.37

And Here's the number's in todays article (July 17):

Xbox 360: 10.08m (0.41m Japan 6.50m America 3.16m Others)

Wii: 9.05m (2.98m Japan, 3.64m America, 2.42m Others)

PS3: 3.69m (1.00m Japan, 1.58m America, 1.11m Others)

The 360 went DOWN from 10.13 mil to 10.08 mil?

Who cares.

Its *****ing toy with simple games like brain training etc. for casual 'gamers'

For me, Nintendo is dead.

# . — Guest 2007-07-17 19:19

Recalls and/or returns? I dunno.

# . — Guest 2007-07-17 19:23

So they are saying that the numbers at http://www.nexgenwars.com/ are wrong? I dono...

# thats not july its the months of june — Guest 2007-07-17 19:24

those arent the july numbers. thats i believe june 4th - july 7th that is 5 days before e3 and about 2 day before the price cut they will update their numbers when npd releases the sales numbers in august.

# The PS3 has no chance. — Guest 2007-07-17 19:24

What the hell is the PS3 going to be getting? Killzone, Metal Gear, and Lair. That's about it. The rest already jumped ship to the Xbox which already has a ton of good games, and will soon have Halo 3. (Which face it, Halo 3 will outsell all of the above listed PS3 exclusives because the fanboys demand it.)

I will agree that right now the Wii doesn't really have games with graphics beyond that of the PS2, but obviously the Wii is going to be gaining some really big games over the next year. More awesome exclusives that Sony will never get.

Metroid Prime

Smash Bros Brawl

Super Mario Galaxy

Fire Emblem

Trauma Center: New Blood

Mario Strikers Charged (Out in Europe, not here yet though)

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles

Point is, the Wii's library is going to go far beyond that of the PS3. The PS3 has about as much luck catching up to the Wii as the PSP catching the DS.

# hah — Guest 2007-07-17 19:28

So all you Wii fanboys can do is flaunt your sales numbers and tell us that the wii is equal to the xbox in terms of graphics? You are pathetic. Omg the Wii is outselling Ps3!!! Its also $200 cheaper and aimed at older casual players who don't really care about video games. Nintendo has learned well from their mistakes. They can't make better games than Sony/MS, so they will take it a different route and make really simple and basic games to entice people who wouldn't normally play. A genius idea and I commend them for that. But this also means that their loyalty now lies with the casual gamer. So you can defend Nintendo all you want. But if you appreciate a deep, intense, and graphically jaw dropping experience you better look elsewhere because Nintendo could care less about you now. You are in the minority. It will only get worse, even to the point of taking away from the PS3/360 because developers can't afford to make these big blockbuster games and will settle for easy money on the Wii. So stop being cheap and stop bragging about how the Wii is crushing MS and Sony. It could bring about the end of the game industry as we know it. Think a little before you post. But I don't expect much intelligence from a Wii fanboy. Also, you guys used to be like "Nintendo isn't competing with Sony and MS." And now that Wii is selling like the ipod, you shove it in our faces. Hypocrites make me laugh. Go and play your best selling game, Mario Party 8. I'll stick with Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

# @ cyberblade — Guest 2007-07-17 19:34

yea thats all sony has is killzone mgs and lair.... how about heavenly sword uncharted drakes fortune Rachet and clank GT5 (wii has no simulations) haze unreal 3 this list can go on forever go play your little toy stick your wii in your @ss while i go play my nex gen games on my ps3 and 360 :)

# nexgenwars + terrible random # generator — Guest 2007-07-17 19:47

their numbers are wrong... somedays i go their and the numbers were less then a few hours ago... and besides that they have no data showing where their numbers are from and how their numbers add up to those. VGCHARTZ has list of numbers for every months/weeks all released by npd for software hardware etc. and their list makes sense where ass nexgenwars has different numbers everyday before npd releases any numbers.

# Indeed — Burn_Griffith 2007-07-17 19:50

Nintendo won't mean "jack" when big name titles for the PS3 and 360 will be releasing soon, both in this and the year to come.

Games such as;

Lost Odyssey [X BOX 360]

Final Fantasy XIII + Final Fantasy Versus XIII [PS3]

The Last Remnant [PS3/X BOX 360]

Ratchet + Clank Future: Tools of Destruction [PS3]

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune [PS3]

Tekken 6 [PS3] etc...

# Haha — Burn_Griffith 2007-07-17 19:54

In fact, games like Final Fantasy XIII + Versus XIII and Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3 make some of the games on Wii seem like a joke.

# Quite True — Guest 2007-07-17 19:56

Hah as a pretty good point. The only thing that Nintendo fanboys can do now is pray that Metroid, Mario, and SSBB are freaking amazing games that can hold onto hardcore gamers.

However, I disagree with Hah because of his ignorance of the Wii and video gaming in general (no offense) It was never graphics that made a game, Goldeneye and Ocarina are just as amazing now as they were 10 years ago . It has always been and always will be gameplay which all three companies are capable of making amazing.

# @Cyberblade — Guest 2007-07-17 20:15

blah blah, u said Mario like 3 times, what other games do they have

# @mikey — Guest 2007-07-17 20:20

(Oh right, we have no argument, so lets resort to basically saying that the Wii is a sex toy and that anyone who plays it is gay. Great plan.)

Are any of those going to sell anywhere near the level of MGS, Killzone, Halo, Metroid, etc? GT5 maybe, but the others stand almost no chance of being anywhere near the other games I listed, and Unreal doesn't count because it's not exclusive.

The PS3 has no chance. End of. It's fallen so far behind in sales, and the Wii is about to overtake the 360 in sales. The Wii is an excellent gaming system, as is the 360.

The PS3 and PSP both show Sony's arrogance. They got *****y and it blew up in their face. They honestly believed that the Playstation name alone would be enough to take the handheld market, and keep them on top in the console market. It's this arrogance that made them blind to both Nintendo and Microsofts advancements.

I'll gladly shut up if some way in hell Sony catches up, but honestly they stand no chance. Their only chance is if they honestly drop the price on the PS3 $100 upon the release of a system selling game such as Metal Gear. And I mean an honest price drop, not just a clearance sale for a 100 gigabyte model. As it stands, the 360 is very likely to drop its price for the holidays with Halo 3, and Nintendo is poised to release many of those exclusives this christmas season.

And before you scream fanboy, I'd gladly buy a 360 if I could afford one, and I happily enjoy my PSP almost as much as my DS.

# lol — Guest 2007-07-17 20:53

i love too see when ps3 fanboys try to come and flame the wii users, but have no evident proof...lol!!! the wii's facts are right here plainy, but u ps3 fanboys who say the ps3 is going to catch up, try saying that when i see a chart with the sales being higher...lol all you all have right now is speculations and not actual facts so you try to flame us...haha go get a life........

# lol — Guest 2007-07-17 21:03

what your saying is funny, so for you it's all about graphics, if that's the point why paying lot of money to get a ps3 or a xbox360 while you can buy a new puter wich mostly will be way better graphicly than both of them, nintendo's strategie is to touch a large panel of users, and their game were all best, Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Super Smach Bross, squaresoft is back to programming for nintendo too, so i think they will have their own game too, i'm a hard core gamer, but honestly i really don't care about gfx, it's better but sometimes i'll rather play an old zelda link to the past than some games in both ps3 + 360, i don't tell i don't like em if i have the money i would be them, but the joy that brings nintendo will never be matched by the others, specially when all of them said before the wii release that they will be dead, now look at the selling charts ;)

# skies — Guest 2007-07-17 21:19

Everyone likes to flame analysts, but there's more wannabe analysts in these boards. The console war can go pretty much any way. Deals can be made, ***** can be done, etc etc etc. Why don't all you speculationists shut the hell up and just enjoy the ride. All these unbacked claims and wild generalizations (ie 'the rest already jumped ship to Xbox') are totally stupid and I won't say fanboy-ish, but just plain egg-headed. Yes, you're an egg. With that said, I'll probably buy a Wii and DS this week - I bought a PS3 last week. Living in Japan rocks.

# .. — Guest 2007-07-17 22:07

Vgcharts is wrong...... 360 has 11mil units sold....

# why all the hate? — Guest 2007-07-17 23:21

I have a wii, 360 and a ps3 and i can honestly say that the wii is aimed at a diffirent genre to the 360 and ps3 and thus i find it very enjoyable plus its value for money, i have always found nintendo consles to be the best in eeach generation in terms of enjoyment. The 64 kicked the psones ass in the late 90's and the gamecube althogh lacking dvd support online multiplayer and a big games libary i still found it more fun than the ps2 and xbox. Now the next generation i think the 360 is ammazing the games are kick ass and live is sweet, the ps3 is sucky i wasted my money on this piece of junk don't do the same complete waste of money boring games. The wii not as graphically good as the 360 but still extremly fun wi-fi on strikers charged is a good laugh and is fun to play with a few mates. In conclusion: buy a wiii and a 360 for the same price as a ps3 and have much more fun than buying sonys hunk of junk

# would you please shut up :) — Guest 2007-07-17 23:46

X B O X 3 6 0

- Microsoft's coporate VP Peter Moore confirmed that Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will not be coming to Xbox 360, the game remains as a PS3 exclusive title.

so please stop it with the "MSG4 might come to 360",cuz simply...it WONT :)

see me laughing at you now dear sir

# illusionary figures.. — Guest 2007-07-18 00:45

the PS3 is until now outselling the competition with a wide margin,check this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=pd_dp_ts_vg_1/105-8208739-8003631

the PS3 is still the best selling item,out-selling the 360 [which stands at 22 !!] and the Wii [which is at a respectable 3]

these numbers have zero scientific bases,as Quixand mentioned the 360 total sales numbers actually dropped.....kinda tell you how reliable these figures are

if the 360 sales were so good....then why did Peter Moore have to leave ??

# Bravo QJ — Guest 2007-07-18 01:40

This is what you get when you post articles like this on the PS3, X360, Wii, PSP, and the DS Section of this site, a Massive Flame War between the fanboys. Keep on posting comments fanboys cause they are funny :D. My favorite ones are the ones where people claim that they own a certain console and tell people it sucks; that only means they waste money apparently XD.

# .. — Guest 2007-07-18 02:04

You know whats pretty funny,

After the release of the PS3 and the WII, the Xbox360 sales pretty much stopped, they are still aruond that 10 million level, wich microsoft claimed to have reached 7 months ago

# What games — Guest 2007-07-18 02:26

Lost Odyssey [X BOX 360]

Final Fantasy XIII + Final Fantasy Versus XIII [PS3]

The Last Remnant [PS3/X BOX 360]

Ratchet + Clank Future: Tools of Destruction [PS3]

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune [PS3]

Tekken 6 [PS3] etc...

Oh those tired thing i see every year? those are still fun to people? About as much fun as madden every year lol, but name some real games will you.

# Ermm.. — Mooshywooshy 2007-07-18 02:52

I like how Xbox fanboys come in and use the word fanboy like its a bad thing... Too bad nobody understands or can get it through their fat heads that no matter what sells the most it wont make it the 'best system' there is no 'best system' its a matter of opinion, so quit crying about "OH Mario is for sissys its so cartoony, none of the cool kids play that"

Just look at what you're typing for cryin out loud and see for yourself what a little child sounds like. Anyways there are more non-hardcore gamers out there then there are hardcore, so expect sales to look like the DS/PSP comparison.. unless you're gonna try to say PSP is gonna come back because of Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Ratchet and Clank...

# hmm.. — Guest 2007-07-18 03:04

PS3:

Metal Gear Solid 4

White Knight Story

Heavenly Sword

Gran Turismo 5

Tekken 6

Disgaea 3

Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Like I've said many times before, 2008 is PS3's year. X360 is putting all of its cards down this year with Halo 3 and such. PS3 however is releasing just about exactly the same lineup they had with PS2 after it's release. A lineup that's made the path for the most successful console in histiory, and that is not a bad path to foillow.

# @ cyberPu$$y — Guest 2007-07-18 03:30

ok fine the wii isnt a sex toy its a peice of ***** console which belong in last gen. The wii is just a fad as other new electronics are when they are released.... do you think people will buy an iphone 3 years from now??? and back to games... i can list games like unreal considering this is a discussion of nintendo wii vs ps3, therefore the ps3 has those exclsuives. Now the wii.... Are you forgetting that japan is going to go crazy when mgs and FF get released thats atleast another 6-8 million consoles worl wide. Games like RE5 which are multi plat. Do you tihnk japanese are goign to choose a 360 over a ps3 for re 5? i doubt it. or even dmc4? no they will choose sony. Go play with your wii mote and leave these forums with your last gen games with thrown in motion.. and dont get me wrong i used to lvoe nintendo but im not spending 250+ on a consoles which performs slightly better then my gc, it doesnt cost them $200 more for motion so lets not talk about over priced or worth the value either because sony wins that battle also and besides this is coming froma fanboy from both sony and mS they will own your gay wii....

# loser cyberbiatch — Guest 2007-07-18 03:36

you can't afford a 360 what are you a day laborer? and you conveniently ignored that a price drop IS planned for PS3 and you ignored about the exclusives coming this fall. see sony actually tries to make a quality product. nintendo just puts like one *****ty idea in their products and markets the hell out of it. but you'll go suck mario's ***** anyways.

# @ wrong — Guest 2007-07-18 03:37

actually if you watch the E3 trailer Peter Moore clearly shows a grath and says they have sold 5.6 million in the US. Which means both sites are exxaggerating alittle bit and the 360's sales are probably even less then whats stated because i doubt Europe has more 360's then the US for it to meet 11 million... and i doubt japan has even 400k... so you do the math and thats just simple math coming from what peter more said just a few days ago.

# to mleep — Guest 2007-07-18 04:01

Out of all the games you listed above only 2 get my interest, mgs4 and tekken 6. Heavenly sword lost interest when it was given a teen rating. 360 still has alot of games coming out next year that are going to be big so i think next year is not going to be as clear and cut as the ps3 dominating everything. One thing you can expect in life is that thing dont just repeat themselves over and over, sony may not have the same history with the ps3 as it did with the ps2 just as the ps2 did not have the same history as the ps1. If anything the Wii is most likely according to statistical figures dominate this console generation which actually says alot since its the least impressive with graphics which usually was the bulk of marketing with consoles. But then again, the PS2 was the least graphicaly impressive from the 3 consoles at the time (based on hardware specs) and still managed to come up on top and some.

Its all about your appeal to the masses and nintendo is doing very well with that. Microsoft seems to be trying to cut in on that action to (those new toy controler things announced at E3). Sony on the other hand is holding firm on its course and for the sake of all the diehard sony fans I hope it reaps the benefit for them. Unlike nintendo and microsoft fanboys, sony fanboys are rather loyal to their company, i saw a bunch of sony fanboys jump a kid wearing a microsoft shirt in an arcade in chinatown last year because he said sony sucked. Beat him up real bad, felt sorry for the kid.

# Seeing as how — Guest 2007-07-18 06:14

# LOL — Guest 2007-07-18 06:15

The Wii is selling so much hardware and the 360 so much software and the PS3 sucks...

Still more lols to those who still remain sony fanboys. Wow much of you (few posts below me) are bashing Cyberblade for telling the truth, PS3 has no chance. I mean clearly the 360 is first place (may be lacking a bit in hardware sales but it's software sales look very promising (who knew that so many games on the 360 would sell over 1 million and none in the wii and PS3 lol) and considering Halo 3 is soon to come I guess their hardware sale is bound to increase rapidly. As for second place the Wii, they are selling lots of hardware, they just need that push from third party developers (which EA is starting) to be succesful. As for the PS3, it's dead, the chance to get back with GTA as an exclusive is lost as GTA moved to 360 and even said the game was bound to look better on the 360 (didn't sony promise superior graphics? why do most 360 games look better than ps3 games?). Aside from that the PS3 has horrible online, but even if it had good online (just imagine) it wouldn't matter as all my friends are on xbox Live, not on playstation network... In the end the Playstation is for... fanboys, just like nokia's n-gage, only that the PS3 has sold more than the n-gage cause they have more fanboys but still, the real gamers who buy consoles are the casual gamers, no casual gamer wants that bulky expensive ps3 with no xbox live XD

# word — Guest 2007-07-18 07:51

this battle isnt between nintendo and sony. They arent even seeing each other as true competition considering they are set for 2 different markets. The real battle is between sony and MS and both of those consoels kill nintendo anyway. i think the nintendo wii is jsut a fad. Ask yourself... are people going to be dying for a iphone 3 years from now when their maybe an "irazr 5" or something like that?? no and same goes for the wii. The wii is just a simple electronic which is based for casual gamers which will stop buying the consoles after all the hype is gone.

# why — Guest 2007-07-18 07:52

# hmm — Guest 2007-07-18 08:10

i have a 360 and a wii and i played the ps3 a couple of times this is my opion 360>wii>ps3

# Warning: Opinion below — Guest 2007-07-18 09:37

I have all 3, i never play ps3. I only bought it for the few exclusives and I only did that because I have a high paying job so I can splurge money once in a while. I play 360 the most and I play wii alot when really good single player games come out but for parties, most people run to my wii and no one really bothers with the PS3. These trends lead me to believe the wii is going to beat out the competetion. To say the PS3 is not going against the wii is dumb, sony looses sales because alot of people are buying wiis instead of ps3s. Same goes for the 360.

Also, just to be a little immature so I can fit in more here... The PS3 will not get you laid but the Wii will. The 360 might get you a hand job if your lucky.

# EVERYBODY STOP!!!!!!! — Psythik 2007-07-18 11:26

Am I the only one to point out that although the worldwide Wii Sales figures are catching up to the 360's, here in the US there have been nearly 1.2 million more 360s sold than both PS3 and Wii combined! (Just look at the charts and see for yourselves!).

And since nearly half of all the world's game consoles are sold in the US, shouldn't we be focusing mainly on the figures from this country?

There may have been 3.72m Wiis sold, but Nintendo's not even half way to the 360's 6.54m console dominance here in the good ol' US-of-A.

Don't flame me, guys; I'm no fanboy; just stating the facts, that's all.

# check the past — Guest 2007-07-18 18:58

Everyone said the DS was a fad, but as long as developpers keep coming up with good games that innovatively use the touch screen, in such diverse ways, it never gets old. And you know, alot of casual gamers want these things, but they may not get them after a year or two of it being out due too price. With the ps3, its a bit of a longer wait. Even if the Wii is a "fad", it will still sell more, but I personnally don't see it as one. Being able to have an on-screen cursor for games like Res evil 4 on wii will always make my day.

Without my homebrew and custom firmwares I would never even touch my PSP.

When a new Mario game comes out, it seems as though everyone knows, but when an exclusive Sony game comes out, only hardcore gamers seem to know or pay attention. And if most people have a Nintendo console, then they will obviously buy those games. And though they may be the same old franchises over and over, I always find that Nintendo really knows how to make a good game, because, financially, they have to.

# it's so hard to hunderstand? — Guest 2007-07-18 19:43

wii is selling because a lot of little babys buy it, a lot of mothers and sister that never heard about Halo, Final Fantasy or Metal Gear and never will play those game.

Wii has a different target.

and... why anyway ppl cares about who sell more? you share something with sony/microsoft/nintendo??

# @ Cyberblade — Guest 2007-07-18 20:07

Im sorry it seems you forget titles like god of war and final fantasy that are exclusive only to sony. MS isn't going to get those titles. And MS keeps trying to get FF on there platform which to them lacks.

But if you haven't notice SE said FF game for the Xbox is not even an option or a possibility. The PS3 are getting great games, One i can think of which is new is The Agency, which will kick butt against XBox. Don't get me wrong i don't hate the xbox, i just don't want to get a faulty system. I think the 3 year warranty is a scapegoat to there poorly built system.

And what does the wii have 4 good games this year. What happens next year, what great titles will they have, doesn't seem like much or any.

The wii remote is a fad like the system it self. And im pretty sure that they took some technology from Immersion to make it. Though so far they haven't found yet but you can only think about the possibility.

It seems your the biggest fanboy here, Youo have no idea how many exclusives sony is getting. At the end of this year and mid way 08 they will have 60 exclusives. And thats only the beginning. I could go on to list them but i rather not.

Also sony is making new franchises of game and pushing the envelope for there new games to show off the power of the cell. B4 you say the ps3 is done maybe you should check the problems the Xbox is having. I mean 7 months ago they claimed to reached 10 million. Now they are still there, It seems ironic that it hasn't gone up, maybe cause people don't want to buy a faulty system. But again i can't speak for everyone here. So enjoy your primitive wii remote, maybe it can actually help you lose some weight or better yet lose some ignorance that you have on the gaming world.

Sony is the most successful gaming company for 3 gens, however this gen is still open for debate. I know sony will lower the price needed for the demand of consumers, hell i know they get back into this race, i mean they slowly are making a comeback.

Stop talking crap that you seem to know, which is very little may i add.

Like rawr has said stop claiming to be some factual speculationists , and enjoy the games at hand.

In the end the gamers win not the companies, all gamers are all the same in the aspect we buy games, play games and enjoy them. Stop being some stupid fanboy and enjoy what games are out. Not attacking to one group, or company.

Why do people keep mentioning Unreal 3 as a PS3 exclusive? It has been DELAYED for the 360, not canceled. The 360 version comes in early 08

To the guy above about The Agency, you do know it is an SOE MMO right? Have you ever played an SOE MMO? They all SUCK. SOE ruined Star Wars Galaxies within a month of acquiring it. Same with The Matrix Online. I'm not expecting much from The Agency

# To Stealth — Guest 2007-07-18 22:08

Is there any particular reason I never see you in anything besides anti-360 and pro-PS3 articles? You throw "fanboy" around like you aren't one, but you pretty obviously are.

# Actually — Guest 2007-07-18 22:29

I don't know if this is true, but in the latest Game Informer in a little side bar they are not expecting FF13 to come to the US until 2009. Apparently, the localization process is expected to take an entire year, and the game isn't even expected to come to Japan until the end of 08 at the earliest.

I agree with um for the most part, who has next year is still up for debate. I don't know if many people know this, but MS didn't show the same old games at E3 because they have nothing new, but because they decided to show only games that are coming out for the holidays. They still have many announced big time 08 titles, and probably many they haven't said a word about.

# good point — Guest 2007-07-18 22:33

I'm goin to buy a 360 and a wii f**k the ps3

# wow — Guest 2007-07-18 22:46

hello Consoles don't win the generation of gaming, Its the videogames produced that makes the system sell and win. So while you xbox wii fanboys claim your system are selling more just remember your games might not be selling.

whats the point of having Alot of consoles sales if your games won't sell.

And yes the PSP is going to come back, maybe you should realize that the psp sales has gone up alot since the redesign announcement and games. but your not going to admit that. Also the ps3 sales has gone up as well.

# lol — Guest 2007-07-18 22:52

I feel sorry for you saying crap like that. Who cares if only 2 things catch your eyes, Its not how many you like that makes a difference. There is millions and billions of gamers who like playing those types of games.

Also wii is a fad and MS is in a slump. Tell me how the wii is going to do when the hard hitters of games from both ps3 and xbox does. Yea like i though nothing. The wii is a primitive consoles and not next gen like the ps3 and xbox and thats fact.

So why don't you play with your faerie ass games and get out of here.

# wow — Guest 2007-07-18 22:54

Your mom sucks too, get over it dumbass.

# um... — Guest 2007-07-18 23:09

Blarg question have you played the agency b4, and have you gotten some info we don't no. So stop trying to say its going to suck.

Don Maglione when did i say anything anti-xbox. All i said was xbox has problems like there systems being faulty and i dont want to get one for that reason. That is stating a fact not against anything here buddy. Im also for sony cause people disrespect sony and the ps3 cause they feel like they know everything.

Also did you read my last part here i will quote it for you

Like rawr has said stop claiming to be some factual speculationists , and enjoy the games at hand.

If you did you would see im not anti anything. But you assume things.

# wow — Guest 2007-07-19 02:15

Where the hell are they gettin their info? The Xbox 360s almost sold 12 million dumb *****s.

# Why is there so much hate — Guest 2007-07-19 04:20

Everyone here seems to hate one system or another, I mean I have a soft spot for Nintendo, and used to be a fanboy when I was younger, but then I opened myself up to new consoles. I mean I use each console for a different reason. Gamecube/Wii is mainly used for parties. When I want a single player experience I play PS2. I will buy a PS3 when the price goes down, but I'm not gonna bash the Xbox 360 because I don't have it and probably will not buy one I'm just not rich enough and don't have a ton of interest in 360 games thats all, every system is good for different reasons, Wii is good for the innovation and 1st party games, PS3 is a graphic beast, 360 is the best online console.

# Sales tactics.. — Guest 2007-07-19 04:55

Exactly, MS doesn't need sales tactics like selling a marked up "Elite" version of their console, which hopefully won't break the way their cheapers ones do. They don't need that kind of tactic at all.

# Console win -> Gaming win.. — Guest 2007-07-19 04:59

Hate to disappoint you, but game developers are trying to make money. The console with the strongest market is likely to the the biggest priority for games, even if developers are forced to cut quality to get it onto a weaker platform.

# Neutral — Guest 2007-07-19 06:57

Lets not forget

Super Paper Mario

Mario Kart Wii

Wii Fit

Resident Evil 4 (Before you flame me, yes i know its a port but its the best version)

No More Heroes

Dance Dance Revolution

I am however not a Wii fanboy, there are also countless games for the 360 and PS3 i look forward to (although i dont own a PS3 yet, i need to wait for the majors)

Bioshock and Blue Dragon (both coming out on the same day -_-;;)

Turok

Lost Odyssey

Call of Duty 4

GTA 4

(Aside from all the ones previously mentioned)

In the end, whats the point in flaming a console when in the end, you get to play all the games you want. The fact that they are going in different directions just means that we will have more variety in our gaming diet.

# Poor reading comprehension — Guest 2007-07-19 13:51

If you will re-read my post Stealth you will find that I never once said it will suck, just that I am not expecting much from it based on OTHER Sony MMOs. I played both of those MMOs when they came out and stopped when Sony bought them, they destroyed both games. I think the best saying to sum it up is "Don't try to fix what ain't broke", because that's exactly what Sony did and they ended up breaking them beyond repair. I have no faith in Sony when it comes to MMOs

# nada — Guest 2007-07-19 14:33

Mister Common Sense, at least you get my point, that Nintendo will, fortunatly or not fortunatly, sell the most because of their software/hardware. Your personnel tastes have nothing to do with this.

# Yarg — Guest 2007-07-19 22:38

I mean, first the launch, and now opinions.... Can the PS3 people

I still see a PS3 everytime I walk into a store... any store actually. Yet Wii and 360 are always gone, with the 360 having a better stock than Wii at the least.

I liked Sony, but after a while of their crappy products, I'm getting sick of them.

+ A MP3 player, near perfect condition, takes around 5 minutes to load a song, if it even does load one.

+ Camcorder, still works, but has turned out to be poor quality for its price.

+ PS2, loads very slow now, surprised it hasn't become what my friend's has... a broken system that cannot start.

+ PSP is a failure due to poor software and lack of interest in UMD usage.

+ PS3 is a failure due to hardly anything to have in software... AFTER ALREADY 8 MONTHS SINCE RELEASE... Not to mention the software of the PS3 is cheap... jsut look at the internet browser!

The point is, Sony had the market with PS2, but they lost it with PSP + PS3 failures. Unless they can clean their ***** together and get out awesome games that aren't shared with others, they will lose their market forever. It'll becoem the next gen"GameCube"...

Wii and 360 are the only ones doing thigns right. Wii has reached to the casual market while hanging onto the hardcore and offering a low cost (but VERY fun) console + software (games. The 360 has won the hearts of the hardcore due to such awesoem games; while tapping into the casual market with their console's features (DVD, media center entertainment, etc) and even with their Arcade.

PS3 is very far behind, the numbers reflect that. I'll buy a PS3 when it is worth it. And yes, it has the hardware, okay. But I'd rather use the $600 for a new computer. Sure, it doesnt have the Cell processor, but oh well. It gives more than the PS3 does. Giving ***** diamonds, doesn't change it from *****.

# tru that — Guest 2007-07-20 06:48

agreed. I think all these hard core gamers are so addicted to the internet and porn that their prospects for a girlfriend are next to none. The Wii may not make you go OMG look at those graphics, but any girls that come over will say OMG you have a wii i'm coming to you're dorm every night and bringing my friends!! Then they'll all get drunk and play wii, which will cause you to inevitably get laid. Think about it...

# you forget.... — Guest 2007-07-20 07:02

ps3 is cool for one reason. Blu-Ray. Have you seen a blu-ray on an HDTV? no? well, i guess that's why you say the system sucks. Ok, we're talking about games here, and I'm the first to admit the PS3 has nothing on either console when it comes to games. But, do I like downloading HD content for free? yes. Do I like watching Planet Earth on Blu-Ray on my 65" 1080P? yes. Nothing compares to that experience. I think that people won't realize the value of the PS3 until they own a quality HDTV set, with some digital surround sound to go with it. for $500 (with a free controller) it was the absolute most bang for your buck of ANY system to date. That's why Sony's losing money on it! Blu-ray, wifi, 60 gb upgradable hdd, bluetooth compatibility, HDMI output, hmmm lets think about this. For the same performance, you'd need to spend $1000 or more on your l33t+ accessories. And it would look all sprawled out all over the place with all the extra add-ons. Now, should you get a Wii? YES! wii kicks ass. Wii gets you girls. Wii is stylish and cute, and the kids will love it. And it's cheap. It's not, however, "next gen." Period.

# hola — Guest 2007-07-20 19:45

Yeh but those games, as great as they will be, will still only appeal to the hardcore gamers. They wont really affect the Wii sales, because they are attacking a completely different market.

Whereas 360 and PS3 are in direct combat, the Wii has taken a different route, one where comparisons can't really be made, because there are different audiences involved.

I know there are still the hardcore Nintendo gamers to think about, but i do believe that they have games to cater for them too.

# Dont forget — Guest 2007-07-20 19:49

that the 360 has a huge lead. It has been out for a year more than the Wii.

That fact that the Wii console sales are nearing that of the 360, just show how hot this product is.

Will it die down? I dont think so, we just need more good games to come out, and i know of plenty that really have my attention.

# future plans? — Guest 2007-07-21 11:15

My question is if nintendo can even keep this up. There isn't one game out or one good game thats coming out that's not made by nintendo themselves. Nintendo's like multitasking for their console. All other publishers like ubisoft just make terrible low budget gimmicks for the wii (far cry vengeance) and sell em for full price. Once nintendo goes through every one of their franchises the wii will have nothing left and people will start getting bored of playing the same old stuff from 2 years back. And if you say that red steel is a good game not made by nintendo, then you are officially retarded. So we'll just have to see what nintendo has planned for the future!(if anything)

# o_O — Guest 2007-07-24 01:51

While everyone is spouting out at the mouth let's get something straight. Wii, currently has the same amount of good games as the PS3 has. It's sold more because obviously it costs nearly a third of the ps3 (not counting this temporary "deal"). Of course the 360 has a lot of games idiots it's been out a year before everyone else. IT BETTER HAVE more than a few good games. And a few good games is pretty much all it has as well, trust me I own all 3 and am currently disappointed in the standings as of RIGHT NOW.

Wii's fun as a party toy but after that, there's not much left to play that I haven't played elsewhere (Looking at you Resident Evil 4). That's when people are going to start turning to the traditional schemes of the PS3s and the 360s. Sometimes you want to come home, relax and play a game without having to jump around the damn living room and have a beat off fest with the controller.

I'm hoping developers give us something else other than circle jerk fests and mario rehashes. But I've got a feeling they're going to take the piss and give us some lame gimmick games and cause the system to slow down into nothingness.

# Wow — Guest 2007-07-24 01:59

I could swear this was PS3 news and not fanboy piss contest fest.com

# Likem all — Guest 2007-07-26 22:08

Love ps3 love 360 love ds and LOVE psp but my pc takes all of those systems to the cleaners lol.......... Lost planet is dx 10 compatable and gears of war is coming to pc on dx 10................ on the other hand *****em all WE HAVE CASTLEVANIA!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

# Money — Guest 2007-08-01 09:54

Fools....it is about money. All three are trying to get your every dollar and nothing else.

Just buy what you can afford you poor boys and stfu.

I hear a pink Wii is coming. Perfect for you girls.

MS has unlimited money so too bad. It will always be here and always have good games.
