What about the wii, Is the fad fading?

jq71586 · 03-13-2008, 11:01 PM

I wouldn't say kicking the crap out of, but outselling, yes.

Many thanks to NPD for their continued support

Another world shattering NPD. It's becoming so commonplace it's easy to forget how historic these numbers are.

SW totals were $668.7M!!!! That's an increase of 47% over last years historic number.

The hardware is steller as well. Units were up 19% to over 2.1M systems combined (and that's compared to last year which was up 60% over the prior year). The "less technically advanced" systems were phenomenal. DS, PS2, & Wii all showed remarkable level of sales. 360 & PS3 sold quite well and there sales are quite respectable, but compared to the other systems don't seem to impress quite as much.

Very nice numbers by the PS3

Shin-Ra · 03-13-2008, 11:36 PM

PS2's still got a few years life in her yet!

When's that redesign releasing in the US and EU and will the PS2 last until a third FULL redesign?

Imagine a PS2 the size of an early portable CD player.

jubei29 · 03-13-2008, 11:40 PM

Thank god, I can finally start enjoying my PS3 games now.

Shin-Ra · 03-13-2008, 11:41 PM

Someone's not happy.

You can always avoid these threads.

martinstraka8282 · 03-13-2008, 11:50 PM

I love those numbers, the playstation brand is still strong, the only thing missing is the PS1 to sell a couple hundred K, lol.

I'd be happier seeing those software sales numbers improve. Until PS3 owners start buying games, thrid party developers will keep passing us over.

thunda · 03-14-2008, 01:29 AM

Who's buying all these PS2's (real question)? Also, would Sony be better off pulling the plug on the PS2 to try and sell more PS3's. Somebody with some better "economics" knowledge help me understand.

I never did own a PS2. Is it just a great machine also?

Shin-Ra · 03-14-2008, 01:31 AM

If you're looking for the largest library of great games and you don't want to go back further than a single generation, yup.

Big Daddy · 03-14-2008, 02:03 AM

Unfortunately, people tend to be too U.S. Centric. Don't forget that movie studios generate more than 60% of their sales from outside of the United States. These are the figures (according to VGChartz) for Japan and the World in Februraty 2008.

Japan (February 2008)
Wii 291,127
PSP 261,959
DS 226,033
PS3 68,953
PS3 41,118
X360 11,534

World (February 2008)
DS: 1,453,197
Wii: 1,290,455
PS3: 739,971
PSP: 703,842
X360: 556,268
PS2: 493,168

Globally, you can claim that PS3 is kicking the crap out of Xbox.
