| Shane said: Compare Nintendo's annual reports with the charts here. You'll come to the conclusion that it's shipped, not sold, even if they don't come right out and say it like Sony does. Sold means sold to retailers, not sold to the end user. This is only logical. Companies have control over the accuracy of the data of shipped units. They have no such control over sold. |
Except at the beginning of 2007 Nintendo released its figures on sales and differentiated between how much had been shipped and how much had been sold
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)
