| tuoyo said: To be honest even if no other game comes out for Wii for the next 2 years I don't think PS3 or 360 would even have a chance. Let alone just the rest of this year. Let alone the fact Wii has Wii Music and Animal Crossing which are likely to outsell anything PS360 have coming out this year and will be much much bigger system sellers. Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit from today till the end of this gen will sell more than any PS360 game that isn't out yet other than GT5 as I expect both to sell about 8 million more at least. Final Fantasy XIII combined will sell more but I mean on a single platform. So in reality Wii has 2 games already out that are going to move systems far more than anything coming to PS360 this year. |
Mario Kart & Wii Fit will completely blow past everything. I expect both to sell at least 15mil - it's doubtful GT5 will pull off numbers like its predecessors, and no game in the FF series has even hit 10mil. The top sellers belong to Nintendo this round. GTA4 (sales on PS360 combined) is the only game with a shot at being higher, and I really doubt it'll have legs like the Nintendo games.
@OP: It's all too common to see this happening - you're putting too much weight on your opinions, and in turn it clouds you from being able to think objectively. Wii Sports & Wii Fit should already have shown that the "hardcore" opinion is not shared amongst the general population, yet people keep making this same mistake - the assumption that everybody thinks like they do. If I showed you the movie Titanic, you might guess it couldn't even break even. The truth is his opinion isn't relevant to sales, it's the opinion of everybody else that matters. Animal Crossing (& likely Wii Music) will probably outsell your favorite game coming out this winter, whether you like it or not.
The lesson is, try your best to separate your subjective thoughts from the facts. If you can understand that the world does not revolve around you, that you are simply one person among the millions of other potential customers (whether you think everybody else is stupid or not), it'll help you out. For example, I personally hate most popular music nowadays, but I wouldn't let that cloud the fact that they'll sell more than the stuff I like.
