I agree that the Wii will outsell its last years numbers! I also see the Wii having a very strong 2011 with its sales being at the 100 Million mark by years end. If anything 360 will be in trouble in 2011.

My year end prediction speaks of my disagreement but I admire your big balls. If it does come true, kudos!


Wanna bet that the Wii will outperform your year end prediction by at least one million if not three, :P?


Lol, no. I freely admit that your balls are bigger than mine!

Come on, :P. We can just make it a crow eating bet. Whoever loses eats crow, :D.

THE WII IS DOOOOOOMED!!!!!!1

NOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEZZZZZ!!! :(


YEEEEES THE WII'S DOOM IS INEVITABLE MWA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Yes by 2025 the Wii shall no longer be availible on store shelves, it is dooooooooooooomed



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

D:.

You stole my idea!

That was gonna be my next thread about how the Wii is gonna sell 100m before 2012, :P. It's actually pretty probable. Since Wii will probably be left at 84-85m by the end of the year (more if this prediction comes true), and it has Zelda SS, TLS, a possible DQX and VS, along with god knows how many other titles announced at E3, it should break 100m easily without a price cut.

You see? They were right! The Wii is a fad! It'll only last 20 years!

Still, if that's the case, let's say the wii ends up 100k behind this year.

This is the year that the Wii has been "doomed" too many times to count, yet is only 100k behind the 360 which had Halo Reach, Slim model, Kinect, lots of advertising and a price cut. The Wii has had nothing but software and bundles. I think Nintendo has far more cards yet to lay on the table than 360, so I don't think anyone is worried!


Yeah, honestly, that's something HD fans seem to forget too many times (though I don't believe 360 had a price cut this year. I thought it had held price since 2008). Just because the Wii has been falling for a while and PS360 have been rising doesn't mean it'll continue. They seem to think that the Wii won't come first next year 'cause it's declining. They don't seem to realize that this is the year when both HD consoles peak and it's downhill for them too. If older market trends mean anything, they're gonna fall much faster. Wouldn't even be shocked to see Wii at 50% market share for 2011 or 2012.


I will quite happily make a bet with you this moment saying that the wii will not have a 50% market share XD in 2011



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

To early to tell.  BF weekend the Wii had the best deals.  BestBuy had huge supplies and had all 3 colors available for $169.95 and other retailers had great deals as well.  Since then the deals have been minimal.  I suspect that Wii was frontloaded for this weekend in NA.  So you saw Wii down YoY overall and only close because NA was up YoY and that was because of great deals.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

The Wii is not doomed. The Wii will move more units than PS360 by a good margin. Immortal is right, the bundles will make all the difference. You can't pass up the great deals that Nintendo is offering, and I think alot of past Nintendo players that switched to Xbox will be coming home to Nintendo for the holidays.

2011, actually, probably not. But I'd be willing to make that bet for 2012, even if the PS3 gets the price cut to $199.
