You know that the Wii is selling faster than the DS right?

In USA, not WW, so if we're talking about WW sales, considering the awesome sales already reached too, DS will almost surely exceed PS2. I'm quite sure Wii too will, but less fast and with not as much overwhelming certainty.

I have looked at the charts and it seems that the Wii is doing better than the PS2 in its first two years. Only in Japan does the Wii not do better than the Ps2 did, everywhere else it does. If the wii stays on this pace then there is no doubt that the Wii will surpass it.

From the looks of the trends, I see no reason why the Wii would stop selling as well as it has. Supply should start increasing a bit more for 2009 and the Wii will get some third party support next year. This tells me that the Wii will most likely sell better these next coming years then it already has.

The wii still has a good 3-5 years before next generation gets underway. Also it will not drop off the face of the earth when Wii 2 comes out. This is an absurd notion. I see no reason to believe that the Wii won't sell 150-170 million units in its lifetime.

The only arguement against the Wii is that the competitors are much better this generation than those of the PS2, which could potentially take away sales.

No, but DC also had most of the market, more than PS1 back than JUST LIKE WII NOW. It had best launch day back then JUST LIKE WII. DC sold bad because it didn't had DVD player. Nintendo's console lifespan were never long as Sony's console. Wii is showing its true potential while PS3 didn't show 15% of its true potential. PS3 is not bad console PS3 is slow console,need more time to show its potential. 145 million is too much for any console. If Wii had m longer lifespan it would probably outsell PS2 but since its Nintendo console...no way. Wii won't die within 2 year it will die within 4 years.Price Cuts won't help the console which is cheap already. Price Cut would only help PS3 and it helped 360 A LOT.

GameBoy couldn't outsell PS2 and it was fastest selling handheld  back then and everybody was thinking GBA would be best selling handheld.And ITS NOT.

Depends what Sony does... Wii captured a whole new audience. Retirements homes own Wiis now. But if Sony pulls off a miracle with the PS3 and makes a profit, Wii will most likely not outsell PS3. But if Sony realizes they need to pull the PS3 off the market, Wii will win.

1. not sure how you can make comparison between the sale for Wii and the sale for DC. DC never took off after launch.

2. With the popularity of Wii, Nintendo probably won't release a new console until 2012 which would be 4 years later. I certainly don't expect Wii would start selling zero unit from the day the next Nintendo console is released.

3. how about swap GB/GBA with DS? Would it be possible then?

The Wii will eventually outsell the ps2. It will take a long time for that to happen The PS2 is still selling and will continue to sell a lot for the next two or three years. By that time, PS2 will be discontinued and soon enough in another three or four years, the Wii will outsell it. For now, PS2 is still the fastest and best selling system of all time.

I think Wii is the fastest selling console of all time. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Yes

You have serious problems when comparing the past with the present

1. DC never hade 2 years of greater sales then the competition. Being out before anyone else and have sales isn't comparable with Wii. Wii hasve better sales then both competitiors at the same time, without being the first.

2. You have no clue on Nintendos plans or their Life Span. Life Span is decided by how good the console is selling. PS1 and PS2 has been outstanding so their life span has been/will be over 10 years. With the current state of Wii it will live longer then 6 years, which other successfull Nintendos consoles have done.

3. Pricecut will help. It does so for all machines. Yes a pricecut is more crucial for PS3 but that is another story. All demands go up after pricecuts, that's a fact, and that will go for Wii to when it happens. Not to talk about when the Launch a new model, a new controll and so on.

5. GB/GBA is the best selling handheld so whats the deal? they sold 118 million units and passed PS1. And how can you compare it to PS2? GB/GBA died long before PS2 so comparing past as competing with future is stupid.

Look at NDS. Will pass 100 million before end of fiscal year for Nintendo. It will sell better then GB/GBA and has a high chance of beating PS2 before end of the line. Just look how new life has been pumped in with new models adn still no priecut.
