Somehow the Wii had to get brought in here.

Anyhoo.

It's entirely possible that with ten years it could do 150 million. They'd have to keep pace with at least 15 million for the next few years, with a couple approaching twenty.

Not entirely unlikely, seeing as that Sony does believe in the whole 10 year lifespan thing (look @ the PS2). A lower price point would do wonders.

Nintendo also said the GC would live 10 years. Look what happened.

Personally I think Sony REALLY needs to shut up about the 10 year thing. The PS3 isn't going to last that long, sorry. The PS2 is barely selling now and it's on its 9th year. Do they really think the PS3 will have a shot then when the Wii is goign to be the #1 console and the 360 is eating up PS3 exclusives anyway?

Arrogancy isn't going to get them anywhere.

Do you have a source for that claim?

 

He is right althought the number is wrong. If I remember correclty was Miyamoto that hinted at life cycle almost double of that of N64. He said around 7 - 8 years.

However you must think that Nintendo forecasted for GC LTD sales around 50 million. The goal was cleary missed in the beginning.

Iwata started in 2003 the refoundation of the company that brought , following Yamauchi desire, the company to disrupt the industry and make unprecedent profits.
