Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii + 5 Months =6 million

The Wii has sold 6 million what do you think?

Within a week of launch, was there ever any doubt? Nintendo has made the DS of consoles. I just hope they start making a hell of a lot more so that I can find one in stores. P.S. I just noticed you don't have a Virtual Boy. So I guess your not a gamer



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

lol you know I have never been able to find one of those no matter how hard I look, and at this success rate the Wiil will pass the 360, cause it's been 15 months for the 360 right?



 

  

 

I think you will find the wii demand dies around june/july they are so inexpensive so much easier to afford without saving up . By then the majority of people who want one will have them . The xbox 360 will clean up till early next year . The ps3 will be a slow starter but i expect it will rocket next year with mgs4 and ffxiii .

That's kind of silly. There will always be people deciding that they want one. That's the case with anything. As long as games are released and consoles are shipped, there will be a demand. The DS is cheaper than the PSP, and yet it took a while for sales to really pick up. And if you're going to play the system seller game card. Have you seen the Mario Galaxy Videos?

I believe that Wii demant will only start to get crazy later this year ... Everyone I know who has played my Wii now has the intention to buy one. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see people buy Wii systems and show them off to their friends who in turn buy Wii systems and momentium builds. I expect that practically every system Nintendo can build will be sold before January 1st 2008



Its not silly at all i know many people who want a ps3 way too expensive . I have a wii and frankly im really annoyed i know nobody else who has one or is even interested in one . Sure some people always buy impulsively but most people cannot afford to buy one

I remember the biggest launch last gen in the uk was the GC it sold massive amounts for six months then bang it was a total disaster in the uk . I still have mine but was really annoyed at Nintendos lack of support here . I will not forget that in a hurry .

I think demand will grow throughout the year then next it will slow but will not stop, and you have to remember it will also be that cheap system for parents to buy their kids. (just like the gamecube did) All those parents who don't want their kids playing M rated games will go straight to Nintendo because they have heard it's reputation and won't know that the Wii has M rated games.



 

  

 

Um...I'm pretty sure it's just 4 months. But yeah, once they get production increased, I can easily see 20m by 2008
