1) I don't think that the Wii will peak so early. The real flood of great 3rd party games has yet to come. I would put your suggested time frame at least one, if not two years back.

2) Sonic and the Black Knight will easily sell a million, Castlevania and MadWorld won't reach the 500k mark. The rest I can agree with.

7) My guess is about 80m sell through by February 2009.

9) The Wii will sell more than 200m units lifetime and won't stop selling before 2020.

Don't you mean 2010?

As for 9) you lost it man, you lost it.

Yes, that's supposed to be February 2010.

As for 9), no.

umm... by 2020, we will be well into the ninth generation of consoles, real-time ray-tracing will be possible on mid-range PCs, we will have 128 to 256-core processors.......... Not a chance the Wii will sell in that climate. That would be like the NES still selling through early 2000....

Actually, the NES lasted almost 14 years, from 1983 to 1996. So it's not that hard to imagine.
