| Shane said: Third parties have never done well for Nintendo. Even EA's most optimistic expectations are to finish second, which EA never does. I still vote silly. Zelda was designed for Cube. Then they tacked the Wii features onto it. This isn't indicative of whether it's better on one or the other, but this is the exact thing third parties have been accused of doing. |
So far they've done all right on the Wii, third party sales are on par with the PS3, Madden on Wii has sold pretty well so far as has Rayman
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)
