About Me

edit

Sup DTOID. I am really big into gaming and comics. I am a proud owner of a PS3 and Wii. I just recently sold my XBOX360 because I was having a lot of issues with mine, but thinking about picking one up again in the future when hardware issue get better. I even play my PSP when I am on the road. I am into FPS, sports games and anything that is fun. My first gaming experience was when my dad brought home an Atari 2600 and we use to play tennis on there for hours. From there the passion grew.

THQ CEO says that both PS3 and XBOX360 will catch the Wii this cycle
SoopaFly TNT \| 12:12 PM on 03.06.2008	8 comments

Despite the lead that the Wii has enjoyed in the console wars so far, THQ CEO came out and said that both the PS3 and XBOX360 will supplant Wii for the lead in sales in the console wars. He bases this estimation on the lower price point of the Wii that has accelerated the demand of the Wii. However, he also says that he expects price drops in the 360 and PS3 to further help sales of both consoles, and eventually overtake the sale of the Wii. DToider's, do you believe that both consoles will over take the Wii and is the lower price point the only reason the Wii has the advantage right now? In my opinion, I think so. Link below:

I don't know. It's possible mainly because I believe the life cycle of the Wii is going to be shorter than the X360 and the PS3. But it's not going to happen any time soon if ever. Like, I mean 3 years minimum.

The Wii has a very substantial lead. I agree with guitar, I don't see it this year, maybe further down the line. The PS3 has more of a gap to overcome, but with some of their big name exclusives coming out this year they could close some ground but I don't see it flying off the shelves as fast as the Wiis did. However, with those rebate bonus checks coming out this summer those that were looking for either the 360 or the PS3 have some extra cash to throw around so who knows.

Not with Brawl and Wii Fit coming out this year. Besides the Wii will see a price drop at some point. It's just right now it's selling like hotcakes so there's no need to even drop it yet.

I agree, it isn't going to be for awhile. Obviously, 360 would catch them first, but I think that both will catch. The Wii has enjoyed a substantial price difference, but with the other console dropping, I think that the other two will have even more momentum. Also, the Wii suffers from supply issue (why? I still can't figure out). That could also drive the sales of the other two consoles.

SSB is the only game that I think people are just waiting on for the Wii...can't think of anything else.

The Wii has much greater appeal to familes looking for a console, thanks to the Nintendo name and the perception that kids will be more active while playing it. And of course "buzz" is another reason why people want it so badly. I honestly think the price is one of the least important factors in its sales lead so far.
