Nintendo's Wii: Beating the PlayStation 2 a Real Possibility?

[WiteoutKing]

I won't repost my whole sig (it would be pointless), but after crunching the numbers for the last two weeks, I would like to direct people's attention to the last few bits about the Wii crossing the PS2.  Particularly this part:

2012: (226w) +0059.7%, 2013: (278w) +0029.8%, 2014: (330w) +0009.4%, 2015: (385w) -0006.3%
At +0% it will pass it in 361w, the week ending August 3rd, 2014, at an age of 402w.

The Wii can, in fact, surpass the PS2 in sales if it sells as well as it has over the course of the next 7 years.  Certainly 7 years is a long time, and many things can change between now and then.  But this is the first time the numbers have shown it to even be a possibility.  On top of this, a 50% increase would see the Wii passing PS2 lifetime sales in only five and a half years from launch, approximately April 15, 2012.

I normally wouldn't make such a big deal out of an approximation, but no one can argue that the PS2 was clearly the best-selling console over its lifetime so far in this industry.  To see that another console may top it is extremely intriguing.
