Forums - Sales Discussion - When will Wii sales pass PSP sales?

So far this year the Wii has sold 7,056,898 systems worldwide whilst the PSP has sold 4,432,423 for a difference of 2,624,475 ...

If you assume that sales will maintain these proportions the Wii will pass the PSP sometime in 2009

At the rate the Wii's going, it'll happen. I say middle 08 to VERY early 09.

 Wii should pass Psp by Sept of '08. ;)



WiiFit will be 2008 #1 selling game in NORTH AMERICA!  
End of '08 Predictions: Wii - 48m X360 - 25m  PS3 - 19m
Wii monthly NA sales will top 400k every month in '08. *Jan sales ruined it. Grrrr!*
WiiFit will top 1m in sales in its first month of release in North America.
MGS4 will NOT be released in '08. *Darn it!* FF13 will NOT be released in '08.
Rockband Wii will top 600k in first month sales in North America.
WiiFit will pass the PS3 WW sales by Xmas '09.

I agree, this is pure flame bait.

On topic: I'd say in two minutes, jk.

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.

Yea and I finally agree with you Soriku this topic should be dead. Shams or mods can you please take action on this thread!

 



Well, how much of an effect when the release of the PSP Slim affect things??? It could get people exicted about PSP and start buying more games.

On the current pace, 120 weeks or 2.3 years. But this doesn't take into account the holidays or major games which will most likely shorten that time frame. Supply is another issue.

Too many variables but I'd say holidays 2008.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

@all - I don't have a real issue with this thread. Its a real question, although slightly irrelevant (maybe in 6 months it would be more relevant).

I will lock this for now, to avoid potential flame wars starting. Maybe revisit in 6 months.

(PS - it will be interesting to see how the Wii sells this Xmas vrs PSP - I think the PSP will actually outsell it - or get close...).
