Easilly especially with all the Wii, Wii mini, and Wii U confusion

Define easy



Well it will just be east. It is 3.11 million away and hasn't even been dropped to $99 the sweet price.

It needs 3.5m actually (unless you're talking shipments? - not sure where they're at)

When Wii dropped to $149, it did almost nothing to slow down the decline. Look at its weekly sales. Less than 20k per week and dropping. Let's be generous and give it 30k/week on average when taking the holiday season into account. This would mean Wii could sell ~1.5m this year. Next year, it would drop again to ~15k per week or so. It should then sell ~800k. This gives us 2.3m in the next two years. From then, Wii is practically dead but might manage another 500k or so, which still gives us

Yep, it sold way less in other regions!

Two years ago... YES, I'M SURE.

Today... A HUGE MAYBE. IT WILL BE CLOSE.

Lol, what happened to page 2 of his thread? How does a thread get broken? Is it because of a specific user or just a glitch in the site?

Anyway, its going to be extremely close, but I think the Wii will crawl its way to 1M-2M above the PS1.

Going by vgc probably not, but shipped Wii should tie it atleast.



Turkish on 10 March 2013

Wii will most likely be discontinued this year so slim chance.



S.Peelman on 10 March 2013

Yes.

It's obvious they're setting up the WiiMini as Wii's version of the PlayStation remodel (PSOne), which means it'll be alive for at least three to five more years. It needs exactly 3.5m sales (to 102.49, which are the real numbers for PS1), which it could even do this year.

It'll be close (much closer than it should have been sadly, Nintendo had to go and botch the last couple years), but ultimately I think it will. Only needs a few more million. Nintendo could probably drop the price to $100 or even $50 at this point and milk some more sales out of it, and considering how cheap the hardware is they'd probably still profit from it.
