It has 8 months vs 4 for the PS2. Here's the comparison, with the strongest month during their Lifetime: Jan: Wii 436k - PS2 490k Feb: Wii 432k - PS2 530k Mar: Wii 721k - PS2 500k Apr: Wii 714k - PS2 330k May: Wii 675k - PS2 490k Jun: Wii 667k - PS2 690k Jul: Wii 555k - PS2 440k Aug: Wii 453k - PS2 450k Sep: Wii 687k - PS2 540k Oct: Wii 803k - PS2 500k Nov Wii 2004k - PS2 1300k Dec: Wii 1350k - PS2 2700k So far PS2 has had a better Jan, Feb, Jun and Dec than the Wii. Though Wii could have a beastly December and surpass the 2700k the PS2 achieved. January and February will be the toughest months for the Wii to surpass the PS2, simply because they are the months where supply is almost inexistant due to the holiday sellouts which include shipments from this months. February may be a given next year because of the upped production, but January won't happen. As for June it will be easily achieved next year because of the increased production. Of course Wii will surpass its own and set more records next year with more production available. |
wow, that was very interesting.
I think the Wii will go 1, 2, 3 and set the records. With 2 million Wiis sold in Nov, 3 seems like the bare minimum, and that would be enough. Last year the Wii was only 60 short of the PS2 in Jan, and last year the Wii had like negative supply...lol. Febuary like you said should fall. June? Who knows... to far away to call. PS2 must have had a pricecut the year it did 700k, that is quite beasty.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
