I foresee a lot of Wii's going unsold on ebay.

 

Hmm, are you implying that the Wii has met demand in North America, or do you realize that within 1 week of today, those Wii's will be selling above market value on Ebay once again?

It's impossible for the Wii to meet demand during this holiday season. Impossible. If you can buy a Wii, buy it now, and sell it on ebay during the christmas rush. Period.

 

 Its not impossible if everyone that wanted a wii got one ;p

 

 The likelhood of that is extremely small, we can tell by high grey market sales and pentup demand over the past few years that demand is still much higher than supply, the supply and demand curves are not at equilibrium yet



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
