2010 Product sales for Wii video games do not seem promising

When it comes to motion-controlled video games, Nintendo Wii has almost the entire market to itself. New numbers, nevertheless, are proving otherwise. Recent market studies show that more customers today are looking passed the Wii system for more intriguing rival sport consoles. The reality is that the Nintendo Wii, which is probably one of probably the most influential video sport systems in the 21st century, is shedding acceptance. Nintendo may most likely have to come out with a brand new creation to fight off its competition if returning to positive growth is what it is after. Article source – Nintendo Wii games are losing popularity by Personal Money Store.

Nintendo Wii having a tough season

Leading U.K. video games retailer GAME blames Nintendo’s consoles for the decline in revenue and sales this year. Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS consoles had a 40 percent drop in sales compared to this past year, accounts Gamestation. U.S. customers are also showing a shift from the Wii. According to Conceivably Tech, August shipment numbers looked very troubling for Nintendo. 244,000 Wii’s were shipped then. In contrast to the 357,000 Xbox 360 sales and 226,000 sales for PS3s, total Nintendo Wii sales for that month seem to pale in comparison.

Game console sales have been decreasing all on their own. However, with the current trend, if Nintendo does not come up with something fast, chances of reclaiming the lead can be slim to none. Do not get your hopes up though. A brand new Wii console probably won’t come from the Japanese video giant for a while. Next season there may be plans for a new Wii gaming console to be introduced. It still probably will not be arriving out until 2012 at least.

Rivaling movement sensor games

There are now some huge competitors with the Nintendo Wii. There were improvements made within the movement sensor remote that Sony launched called the PlayStation Move that is just like the Wii remote. Word is that Microsoft will even join forces with Kinect, a camera-based system that eliminates the need for hand controllers altogether. The system records users’ movements, faces and voices using a microphone, camera, depth sensor and processor. It is slated to be released within the United States sometime in November. The two businesses are planning complete marketing attacks in preparation to the upcoming holidays.
