Wii december sales. rediculous lol

[OchoCinco]

January 13, 2009 - Wii was the king of console sales in December, with Xbox 360 a distant second and PS3 pulling up the rear. This according to a report from Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter, posted by Gamesindustry.biz.

According to Pachter, Nintendo's Wii sold 3.25 million units in December. That's nearly triple the number of Xbox 360s sold. Microsoft's console scored 1.35 million units in sales, with PlayStation 3 selling only 750,000.

Though the economy is in the dumps, Pachter expects December sales to be 10% higher than at the same time in 2007. Not only is Nintendo top dog in console sales, Patcher expects the big N to pull in the greatest revenue increase with a 53% year-on-year increase. Acti-Blizzard is second, with a 5% increase and EA is third with just a 1% year-on-year decrease. That means only two publishers across the entire industry saw sales increases from the same time in '07. So who had it worst? Pachter notes Ubisoft and THQ were hit hard in December, both down nearly 25%.

everyone and there grandparents got one of these things, damn

WTF is up w/ PS3 being so low?

[UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over]

I'll be getting a Wii like in a couple of months. I was supposed to get one in 08 but that never happened. Anyways I can't wait!

You get a nintendo system if you like nintendo games...it has super Mario galaxy,zelda,Mario kart etc.it doesn't have that many 3rd party games which surprises me because its the number one selling system in total in every country.I don't know but these are american sales and remember that in say Japan even the ps2 still outsells the 360.

well it's not surprising, japs will never buy something that comes from the us, you think they roll in ford and chevrolet? I always liked mario games but I don't think the console is worth the price they're selling it. I plan to get me a ps3 soon, so the wii is not part of my plan but maybe one day...

That looks dope I hadn't heard of that one.I skimmed through your post and didn't read you had it listed lol.ah well.I still haven't gotten a wii but I will over a 360.

[Jaydc555]

I don't regret buying a ps3 solely because of the fact blu ray is amazing.but when I go to the video game store in my area and they only have 6 or 7 used titles to choose from and then look at 360 and they have 70 to 90 used titles on hands its disheartening

[big mat]

maybe just a couple of titles, but sony plans that the ps3 will be their main system for 10 years, and microsoft wants to release their new system by 2010-2011

[Nutty]

Forget the Wii, upgrade and get yourself a 360 or ps3!!
