Wow, Wii beat the DS, that's it boys pack it in, this gen is over, and the fat lady has sung, Wii is the new gaming god

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I guess the 15k slow-down in Japan was due to a 15k+ increase weekly in NA.

I think that just about confirms that there were supply constraints still in the US on the Wii, there is no reason at all for sales to jump like that.

Not bad ps3 figures good increase , but not enough . The price has to get down again b4 xmas or it is over for this generation . Maybe this damn blu ray was not a good idea , sales would be mental at $299 .
