| Soriku said: Also, history has dictated that the next #1 console outsells the #1 console before. I'm not sure that was the case with Atari (?) but SNES outsold the NES, PS1 outsold the SNES, PS2 out sold the PS2. I think it's VERY likely the Wii will outsell the PS2. |
No, the NES outsold the SNES by a substantial margin (63m to 49m, I believe). Of course, SNES + Genesis/Megadrive sales were considerably larger than NES sales, so the market definitely did grow overall.
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
