Wii may hit 41M end of jan so maybe week ending 15th or 22nd January we will see Wii above PS1 in America's.

5 more million to go for new info from reggie :D


Ha, exactly what I was going to post. I guess the Wii2 will be unveiled in E3 (actually how long did it take for 5 million to be sold thos year starting with the new year?)

Well... at this point I'd definitely say Reggie knows something we don't... not sure if another 5 mil by July is guaranteed, but maybe, just maybe, Nintendo is trying to pull another 3DS with the Wii2. i.e. announce at E3 (or maybe even have a secret special event for it around September) and release during Q1 or Q2 of 2012 so that by holiday 2012 there will already be some decent games from 3rd parties as well... that would definitely be interesting... NO WAY would MS or Sony be prepared for another launch before holiday 2012, especially not Sony if they plan to launch psp2 this year...

It also might mean a dual-console Zelda again, though personally that would piss me off a bit that N's most successful console may not get an exclusive Zelda...

Pure speculation of course, except for the part where Reggie knows SOMETHING...

the release of the next console might not be as quick as we would like

timeline of the Wii:

Nintendo first spoke of the console at the 2004 E3 and later unveiled the system at the 2005 E3, and then released it in November 2006.



 

and congrats to the Wii, 40 million is a great number

DS came in 2004 2 years later Wii, I think the same with 3DS in 2011 Wii 2 in 2013



Wii2 in 2013 seems a lot more reasonable than in 2012, which just seems too soon to me. the wii seems to have a lot of life left in it
