I honestly don't think naruto will do it, granted i haven't seen how much it sells each week because of my stupid account.

 

Well it's 50,000 away and it sold 25k in last week's data.  So this week it'll see increases of at least to 30k-40k and with 2 more weeks to go it'd be hard for it not to do it by the end of the year.  That one is a guarantee as long as no data changes.  It's Big Beach Sports which is the one that might not make it by the end of the year.  It depends on how much it sells in this week's data.  If it's over 70k then it'll make it but if not then it'll be close.

Either they will by Dec 31st, or early January.

Either way, only 5 more and the Wii has more million sellers than the Gamecube



Why games like Super Monkey Ball don't have any other numbers. I'm sure it sold a lot there. It can make it easily a million seller.

Well unfortunately nothing we can do about that.  However, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Tiger Woods 08, Cooking Mama: Cook Off, and Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party are all million sellers currently if they had complete others data.  But nothign we can do about it.

I'm going to start writing up this months article in a few days, can't believe how many are on the verge of going platinum!

 

Oh yea there's a lot. By the end of the year:

  • SW: TFU
  • We Ski
  • Simpsons Game
  • Ben 10: Protector of the Earth
  • Lego Indiana Jones
  • Naruto: Clash of the Ninja Revolution
  • Big Beach Sports should all be platinum.

There's a few others that still have a shot but we'll go with the certains which is 41 million sellers. Then in 2009:

  • Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party
  • De Blob
  • House of Dead 2 and 3 Return
  • DDR: Hottest Party
  • Madden 08
  • Tiger Woods 08
  • Tiger Woods 09
  • Madden 09
  • Endless Ocean
  • Sega Superstars Tennis
  • Hannah Montana: Spotlight Tour
  • Boom Blox
  • Mario Super Sluggers
  • Lego Batman
  • Shaun White
  • Guinness World Records
  • Sonic Unleashed
  • MySims Kingdom
  • High School Musical 3

are all left in good position to go platinum and all should go platinum some time in the first half of 2009. Meaning at least by the end of June 2009, Wii should have 60 million sellers. Then of course there's a few others that are already platinum with others sales such as Super Monkey Ball. Then this isn't even counting the ones releasing in the first half of 09. Wii is going to have a pretty steady supply of million sellers.

I would add

Cod: WaW (I think it is quite undertracked for several reasons)

Outdoor Life: Active Challenge (i think you over looked it because Others sales are still seperated over 500k already)

Game Party 2 (GP 1 hit is sales sweet spot at 19.99, this is already 250k at 29.99)

Nerf and Strike (it will make it.... heck i even want it)

Carnival Games Minigolf (at 19.99 or even 29.99 this will sell loads, still 39.99 and already at over 250k)

I think all of those are a 75% chance or better at being plat by next fall, and WILL ltd

other with some shot,

The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels (I think it is undertracked a bit, and it will have steady legs)

Walle - Maybe, over 500k and will be about 650k going into 09, its legs should be stubby... I see it MAYBE selling like the simpsons.

hasbro family game night- looks fun, casual recognition, has a good shot in the long run

Disney Singit- One of the better singit games, long legs it will have

these are 50/50 liftime shots... a couple may catch on (FGN, and Disney most likely) and sell well enough to go plat with the top list....

Also as a note, last year ioi undertrack all of the casual type games (like we though Carnival games flopped badly, and Game Party was really undertracked)

I agree with all of the ones Zucas Put up, I think longest shot you named was Guiness World Records, and that should be fine.

 



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Around the Network

Bigjon- yea well I did forget Active Life. Meant to put that up but forgot. And I think WaW is also undertracked for various reasons as well. Mainly games with that much advertising don't sell that little.

The rest you named have a chance but not in the first half of 2009. They will more than likely make it in the second half.



Lego Indy hits platinum!!



We Ski and The Simpsons also hit platinum!! Ben 10, Naruto and Star Wars: Force Unleashed will hit it next week :)

Kung Fu Panda, Sonic Unleashed, High School Musical 3, Shawn White and Guiness World Records hit gold!! Next week MySims Kingdom will hit gold and Active Life is already gold if you count US sales.

This is a very big week for the Wii 37 platinum sellers already!



next week million sellers

Ben 10: Protector of Earth

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

 

making a total of 40 million sellers

 

 



This weeks sales will include a few days before xmas so Wii Sports should pass 40 million easily and maybe overtake Super Mario Bros as the biggest selling game ever.
