i think it will have problems without any big name third party support.

well wait and see, right now it sells due brawl kart wii fit hype.

hahaha.. so it sells because good games are out? who knew?

anywho.. as for my prediction.. its a tough one and depends highly on how long it takes before the next set of consoles come out.. but my guess would be 120-150

reaching over 200 millions? not even the ps2 got near even with all the third party.

it will reach 100-120 millions easily due casual market, but reaching the hardcore will never happen with competition from both sony and m$ getting all the hardcore exclusive.

The Hardcore doesn't matter. The Wii is getting almost no hardcore support, and it's still selling faster than the PS2. The 'Hardcore' is a very small, very niche market that's getting harder and harder to satisfy.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

The more the Wii gets bashed, the better it will sell. Considering that the console will get bashed for many years to come, sales beyond 200m aren't out of the question. I see 150m as the minimum.

 

 This. Kim possible is always right.

It could break 100m, something the PS3, PSP, and 360 can't do.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

So let me get this straight...

It's easily going to sell 120m according to you, but it'll end up with zero "hardcore" penetration? Hahahahahahaha.

Your opinion on "casuals" is extremely skewed.

 

And there IS NO HARDCORE! How many times to I have to repeat this.

 

When people start to realise that the wii is a worthless console with no REAL games and the granpa's get bored of bowling (which'll be this time next year), it's going to start selling in anti-numbers. So lifetime sales: 15 million consoles max.

Oh, this is a new topic.

Historically looking at the sales, Wii will end up selling around 200 million units, with the exception that if it ends up having the same impact as NES did, it will reach 250-300 million units sold. And insane number of software.

I see people comparing PS2 and Wii, but you'll have to take into account that PS2 never really expanded the audience.
Think audience as a pyramid; at the top there is only one person who is interested in getting the console and the bottom line equals 3,3 billion people. Every time you reach the next "level" in the pyramid, it equals all the previous levels combined by its size. The biggest barrier for Wii to reach the potential audience is its price.
