Two things concern me about the wii beating the PS2.

1. Will the wii reach a saturation point?


2. Can the video game market really support 250 million consoles sold?

If you can convince me that the answer to one is no and the answer to 2 is yes than the Wii can and probably will beat the PS2.

1 is actually an interesting question, especially relating to the reliability of the hardware. The failure rate of the Wii so far is much lower than the historical failure rate of the PS2, so it owuld appear that there will be fewer hardware-related repeat buys.

 

And that makes the Wii even more impressive, with low failure rate compared to a console with a fairly high failure rate, it means it's selling mainly because of its games and not just games + failures.

As for #2...the market can support as many consoles sold as it can...there's not anything stopping it from being that high.

 

Well it's selling for something...That's for sure.
