Stocka Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 A rough translation of two questions asked to retailers by Enterbrain, publishers of Famitsu… Which next generation console do you believe will sell the best after Christmas, due to the opinion that is formed during Christmas? 88 % - Wii 11 % - PS3 Which console/handheld do you believe will sell the best at Christmast? 60,7 % - Nintendo DS 32,8 % - Wii 3,3 % - PS2 1,6 % - PS3 1,6 % - Xbox 360 Erm...wow?
Kaeporagaebora Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 PS2 beats PS3? Wow. Not sure whether or not to believe it, but still...
triforce_keeper Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Great I think Wii will rule in Japan, not so sure here. But I was pre-ordering my Wii up merry hill In GAME the other day and the list was long!
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 PS2 beats PS3? Wow. Not sure whether or not to believe it, but still... It could have something to do with the low amount of PS3 stock.
Smiter Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 It could have something to do with the low amount of PS3 stock. PS2 is also much cheaper and still has plenty of games coming out for it. When the PS2 launched, the original PlayStation was still going strong and took ages to wind down. Interesting results from the survey, of course we'll have to wait and see if Wii really does make a huge impact in Japan.
Kaeporagaebora Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 It could have something to do with the low amount of PS3 stock. I thought of that too, but still, how can there still be that many people in Japan who have yet to own a PS2? It seems like anyone who would want one as a gift now would already have one... Or maybe I'm crazy. Scratch that, I'm definitely crazy, but I may be wrong.
CoolFunkMan Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 If those predictions are correct (which does seem likely), then it'll be fantastic for Nintendo. It's about time they were back on top. Japan Retailers Predict Domiination Lol, I like what you did there.
Domstercool Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Well there's supposedly way more Wiis so it kind of makes sense really.
demonmike04 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Lol, I like what you did there. I noticed that 'Domiination' thing too. Great minds think alike.
dabookerman Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I NOTICED THE DOMIINATION TOO M8 DO I WIN A PRIZE???
mario_jr Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I NOTICED THE DOMIINATION TOO M8 DO I WIN A PRIZE??? No, because you left your Caps Lock is on:p
conzer16 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Nintendo for the Wiin! PS3 is too expensive and wont have enough stock.
DCK Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Right. Hm that doesn't make sense, that gap's way too big.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Hm that doesn't make sense, that gap's way too big. It makes perfectly sense. After all question was "Which console/handheld do you believe will sell the best at Christmas?" PS3 simply can't do this with very limited supply (100 000 units in launch).

raven_blade2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Lets hope those predictions are repeated worldwide.
