Will the Wii overtake the 360 By 2008?

[dreassica]

definitely not - halo3 will keep the 360 up, and especially with nintendo sitting out tgs this year, its not looking too good for nintendo

Mario galaxy and wii fit ringing any bells?? Halo 3 has already done its impact at launch, mario galaxy and wii fit are going to cause another slaespurt of wiis.

I think Wii sales will eventually overtake the 360, but then the 360 will slowly climb back to the top after people start realizing that Brawl isn't as good as it first seemed.

Well mannered? What?

Super Mario Galaxy looks pretty 'meh', and the Wii Barance Board is a joke.

Whatever. Remember the topic is "will the wii overtake the 360 by 2008", the answer is no, it did it in 2007.
The topic is not "I just got back from the future with my time machine" or "Let's talk about games that haven't been released yet"... It's really below you.

No - Everyones 360 will overheat and they will all buy a new one!

Actually yes, to a lot of people the Wii Fit thing is actually going to be a very big deal. I can see a lot of older people using Wii Fit. It doesn't matter if the gamer likes it or not, Wii Fit will be a success...

This thread was created for the purpose of speculation, so you don't seem to be making a very valid point.

I honestly don't think it will be. Can't see alot of older people spending the 300+ dollars to get it.

It may not drive a flood of new Wii buyers but many of the current ownser will purchase it. Lots of the parents that bought the Wii for the kids will spend the extra money for Wii Fitness and justify it's to make them health. And like any fitness item the parents buy, they will use it for one week and never touch it again.

I don't think Wii fit will do much for your fitness or weight. You'd be better off adjusting your diet a bit and going for a quick walk every day. Should be a bit of fun though.


Microsoft's Halo 3 Sparks 100% Jump In Xbox 360 Sales

wow halo 3 doubled the sales of xbox 360s

insane

 

[jumpman17]

Last I checked, the Wii had already sold more then the 360, but then Halo 3 came out and changed that.

Yeah that's correct.

LOL thats why they've got so many sales so far, it wasn't HALO 3 that made the 360 sales push it was everyone's warrenty running out and their console's getting the red ring of Death! 3 days later

Ngamer mag (uk) wrote in their latest issue Nintendo are #1

QUOTEThe winners' podium as constructed by the Financial Times on the 12th september, see the Wii with 9 million units sold, the Xbox 360 with 8.9 million and the PS3 with 3.7 million

Which is close, but the 360 has been in the market a lot longer.

Both are good consoles imho, most gaming households wll have both (or a PS3?) Have sony shoot themselves in the foot? (I said the same thing about the PS2, thinking they'd done a saturn and no-one could code well for it, how wrong was I?) The PS3 certainly need time to catch up (and dev's to get a grip) but bith the Wii and 360 "should" go from strength to strength.

The DS and DS lite still Pwn all sales figuires, and its the runaway (and for some a shock) success.

The only thing that could beat it, it a Wii with the capablities of a 360 or PS3 Muhahahaha!!

[off topic, but in the same vain]

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption or Halo3 (story, gameplay not multiplayer, as thats a one horse race?!? Why? drop it Retro?)

 

[cubin']

Metroid prime has better single player but with multiplayer I think Halo 3 is a much better package and has more fun packed into the disk

I think the PSP might be catching up to the DS in japan and here a little bit. It's becoming much more popular.
