I saw three Nintendo Wii's in my local Wal~Mart today.  I don't know if that is unusual for many of you.  But this is only the second time I've ever seen Wiis in my local Wal~Mart since they were released in November of 2006 and the first time that I'd seen them there since last July.  I didn't see any copies of Madworld there.

 

 

This is the year when my 1 million a month off holiday season Wii prediction pans out. I see my local Wal-Mart having more too, more often. Either launch fever has finally subsided or Nintendo has finally upped production & distribution of systems. NOW is the year when we see what Wii can do as a competitor. The World Recession/Depression will affect everything including Wii but for those who still have enough money for a Wii & want it, we will see how many of those folks exist in the year 2009.

2009, the year Wii begins to capture the "Hardcore" portion of the market is also the year Wii gets to TRULY show its potential as a gaming device. Once money becomes more available Wii should ride the rising tide. My 60 million for 2008 prediction failed sadly but Wii should be able to make the great inroads on the PS2's sales status that I have been forecasting since before the beginning of this generation.

3rd party better gamble right or bad bets could doom their future when the economy continues to crumble.
