John Lucas!! Welcome back.
This is great. JL makes all sorts of crazy predictions about how successful the Wii would be this year and everyone on this site said he was batsh-t crazy. Now that he's been proven right (so far), he's back making another daring prediction and again everyone says he's batsh-t crazy.
You're loving this aren't you John?
Minimum 240mil? I think you posted that before. I wasn't inclined to agree then, but I think, production capabilities providing, then this is, in fact, accurate.
Just yesterday I was in Futureshop (CDN subsidary of BestBuy) and a couple guys were looking for PC games. They stopped to look at the Wii and were trying to figure it out. They had the wrong controller so pressing A wasn't working to start the game. I quickly figured out the problem for them. Wii Sports Tennis came on. The guy pressed every button on the controller trying to make it work. lol. Then I said 'Swing it'. He did and then I saw the eyes twinkle and smiles appear. One guy had a little girl and of course she wanted to try right away. No doubt, 2 Wiis sold. It doesn't matter what hardcore gamers do or think, they are almost irrelevant to the Wii's potential. It IS expanding the audience. More 40+ gamers, more girls, that alone could double ps2 sales, then add new markets like India, China and especially Korea (where consoles have never sold well), plus since it's so different than the competition, ultimately few 360 or PS3 owners won't eventually also have a Wii.
240 million? No prob. Good call John Lucas.
