Forums - Sales Discussion - Global UP! 31st August 2013 (Wii 100m on front page!)

Congratulations to the Wii!!!!

It's not had any significant releases since Skyward sword, its ran out of steam in a dramatic fashion but it's made 100m... finally.

That's an impressive feat even if once upon a time it looked capable of much more.

Only 2 other home consoles have achieved this, will Wii ever see a 4th???

I doubt PS3 will reach 100m, as for PS4, it looks like it will probably do that, it's got momentum.



How many copies Wanderul 101 sold? It wasn't out in USA yet during the week ending 31st Aug, right?

I don't know it's around 80m right now.  I could see it getting another 20 over the next few years especially considering it's still at $200 (even for 12gb).  I'm sure it'll have a good holiday with GT6 and $150 BF bundles.  Especially considering PS4 has no backwards compatibility.  I mean honestly I don't have a huge amount of faith in cloud based backwards compatibility.

wii is set to pass ps2, and ps3 will never even pass N64. A lot of people were adamant that would happen on here.


What da fuck have you smoking ? N64 did 32.93M sell. PS3 is above since a long time.

And PS2 is at 157.68M right now. Wii won't touch this now.

edit : well it seems I missunderstood your message with "adament".


As for PS3, I think 100M is now a real possibility at the end of it's life.

14 is the online crap that over 200,000 people wanted. 15 is the game that many believe will revive their love for the series.

btw FF14 is hardly crap, if SQEX didnt list the online games in the main series i doubt they would get as much hate. i bought a ps3 copy and am loving it. i would renew my sub after free trial too if it wasnt for Pokemon coming out. i have no time for other games when i have pokemon

Playstation Platforms always live very long. Just look at dat PSP! I say the PS3 will reach 100m pretty easy and it could very well be the top dog of gen 7 when all is said and done. That would be three top consoles in a row for Sony, would be quite a accomplishment
