Patcher: Wii to outsell PS3 by 4:1 in May

[Zeus]

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Patcher has predicted that the Nintendo Wii has outsold the Nintendo Wii by a margin of 4 to 1 ahead of the pre-NPD May data forecast. Patcher also predicted that there was $333 million of game software sales during the month.



“Now that supply and demand of the PS3 and Wii are near balance, we think that hardware unit sales will be more modest than they were in the analogous period of 2002, when console prices averaged under $200.

"We continue to expect higher average console prices to be an impediment to rapid sell-through of hardware, and we expect cycle-to-cycle declines of 10% or more for hardware sales to persist through the end of summer 2007. It is possible that Sony’s cost of production for the PS3 has declined to the point that the company may consider a hardware price cut some time this summer, and we may see a price cut for the PS2 and Xbox 360 before the holidays. Each of these could serve as a catalyst for sales growth later in the year."

Near balance???? WTF

Stupid PS3 fanboys hating on Maxconsole because the PS3 isn't selling good. Go buy six P$3s and help it out you idiots.

So the one thing that is consistent with the analysts is that they don't agree.

If the Wii is already outselling the PS3 by such a ratio, why do other Analysts insist that the head start doesn't mean anything?

PS3 has already lost the war. It's time that the greedy and proprietary Sony get whats coming to them... BIG losses. I gotta laugh.... Wii60 is the way to go. Sorry Sony, but your arrogant rampage is over, you get no more of my money ever!

B.S. Mortician When Sony goes the way of Sega, you will buy God of War 4 for the Xbox 720.

But it's not the same price, so what's your point exactly?

It seems like the Ultimate Warrior is now at the MaxConsole Wii forums. I guess now he'll start talking about "destrucity" and stuff.
