PS3 set to outsell Wii by 60%

[wraggster]

A Japanese analyst posted this news:

Developers may love it, and many gamers seem to have already warmed to it, but that won't stop Nintendo's Wii finishing behind Sony's PlayStation 3 in the next-gen battle. That's the view of Yuta Sakurai, leading analyst at Nomura Securities in Tokyo, who has suggested that the PS3 will outsell the Wii by a bulky 60 percent. By 2011, he believes PS3 will have shifted 71 million units, compared to an estimated 40 million units for Wii at the same stage.

haha Bull$#@! i say!

I honestly can`t see the PS3 doing very well due to it`s utterly insane price. The Sony fanboys will lap this up but i guess time will tell.

Sony sure is optimistic about their future console. Unfortunately this probably will not turn out to be accurate. The aim for Nintendo's Wii is to be a secondary, or alternative console to the 360 and PS3. That means that people will more likely own a Wii and a PS3, or a Wii and a 360, or just the Wii.

With that type of marketing, the Wii will out sell both consoles.

I agree completely with Mr.Denny

thats EXACTLY what i was thinking. pretty soon the xbox 360 will go down from $400 to $300 so you'll be able to buy a wii and ps3 for $50 less than a $600 ps3

The Wii will outsell the PS3, then I think the PS3 and 360 will sell about the same.

But remember youre all wrong.....

ps3 will outsell because of

A. features
B. sony
C. there are a lot of rich people who have more important things to do than get on the internet...

thats why everyone here loves the wii...

Your logic is alittle flawed.

A. Features alone aren't well worth the $600 mark, unless you count the Blu-ray player. If Blu-ray bombs, then the entire console loses alot of it's value.
B. Sony's name will probably help it along, but not by far.
C. Rich people will own more than one console, and it will be likely that a Wii will be one of them. Not only that, but the PS3 has high development costs, scaring away some of the smaller tight-budgeted 3rd-party developers, which the Wii would soak up due to it's lower costs, which means the Wii might just have about as broad a selection as the PS2 nowadays, which takes care of that advantage.

[Mr.Denny]

I totaly agree with you DrgnAK.

Plus, the high cost of the PS3 will scare off non-hardcore gamers, the exact market Sony tapped into with the PSone and the PS3.
