These forums used to be full of console wars threads stating sales figures ect

Everyone seems happy these days talking about games instead of which console is the best and which will sell more. (Which is a good thing)

Sorry to drag it up again but how is sales going for each console? The PS3 closing the gap on 360? Has the wii slowed down any?

Are you a shareholder?

Honestly this forum is far better off with game discussing than the arguments that happen in a sales thread.

Do i have to be?

Just interested in seeing how sales are going since all consoles have strong gaming line ups
 
Be intresting to see how game sales compare on the 3 consoles. I sure you'd then end up with something like
50% - 360
30% - PS3
20% - Wii

Come on Nintendo get some decent games on the Wii.

Actually Nintendo are the biggest game publisher, bigger than even EA or Activision. It's hard to get exact figures without doing a fair bit of research. But 8 of the top 10 Wii games are by Nintendo and all have sold over 5m copies. The top 4 have sold over 10m each.
 
I think everyone is too busy playing games to worry about these things anymore. All three consoles had stand on their own feet now without fanboys arguing over them. :)
 
I wouldnt mind a ps3 in future. Mainly because the sound from my xbox gets right on my boobs.
 
The next nintendo console better be virtul reality as thats the only reason i would buy 1. I feel a bit conned by the lack of proper games for such a high selling console.

yeah but he said decent :p
 
Sony have sold the least consoles and have the lowest attatch rate,

This could be dangerous for them,

The wii has sold 35.5 million consoles so even if they only had an attatch rate on 1 that would still be 35.5 million games, the wii attatch rate is around 5.5 * 35.5m = 195250000 games which is pretty impressive

The ps3 on the other had is around 5 * 16.5m = 82500000 games, nowhere near as impressive
 
I can't beleive the wii is so popular. I bought my daughter one earlier this year and I think it's rubbish. The graphics are **** and the control method is a gimmick. Why buy a wii when a 360 can be picked up for less money.

Because it's a gimmick, people love gimmicks at first (myself included), but then the cold, hard truth sinks in; it's rubbish, well, the games mostly are at least.
 
The Wii is fun once in awhile, with friends.
The 360 is fun with the exciting range of games, exclusives, controls but as noisy as the console is, I've lived with fan filled PCs and so I'm accustomed to playing games with fan noise.
The PS3 is for some of its exclusive games and blue-ray player if you've got HDTV. Not a fan of the controllers, so for me, it's the 360 and have been for 2 years now :)

But hey, I'm only 1 of the few million average Joes playing. In my world, the 360 won the war ages ago.
