| BTFeather55 said: I wouldn't exactly call selling under 20,000 a week in Japan too strong. Also, 150,000 a week in Europe isn't staggeringly high imo. My overall prediction about the Wii is that without pricecuts etc, then it will have a harder time selling its second fifty million than its first. |
Last generation the PS2 at it's peak did around 80-90k in Europe... so far this year the Wii is averaging almost double that (160k ish)
As for 50 million by the end of March... it's possible, you should remember people were predicting back then on higher VGC figures than what is supposedly near reality that we have now.... so 50 million was perfectly reasonable.
Nintendo are set to have shipped 51 million by the end of March, the Wii is no longer a total sell-out due to the huge amount of supply Nintneod is sending out, so a discrepancy of more than 1 million is likely. As such, yes I think the Wii will fail to reach 50 million sold through by the end of March... but for some reason you are seeing this as some kind of doom.
And why are you predicting a Wii sales slowdown "without price-cuts".... I could easily say without price-cuts the PS3 will struggle to sell it's second 20 million as fast as the first. but it's not a useful prediction.
