| Squilliam said: It had to be done... Noone should be able to get away with predicting the Wii will 'only' sell 100M without a damn good explanation as to why it will be withdrawn from the market in two years. |
The reason the Wii will only sell a one hundred million copies. First off, its just not going to be powerful enough to run games like many of the later generational hd games that we will see coming to the other consoles. Secondly, the blue ocean crowd just aren't going to be that interested in buying Wii Sports 3 or Wii Fit 3, there will be a reaction against thosetypes of games when the blue ocean folks begin to think we've alredy got one or two of these I don't want to buy another. 3rd more competitive games coming to PS3 from the likes of Square and Kojima in the coming years. There really won't be any comparison between Wii rpgs and HD rps as far as looks go. Fourth, it looks like they are missing out on many Western games like Fallout 3 and Modern Warfare 2 (and the versions they do get of these games are almost always considered to be the inferior ones).
Wii sales are already slowing down. They were supposed to have sold 50 million consoles by the end of March and instead its going to take them until the end of May to do so. And, for most of this year their sales have been pathetic for the leading console in Japan.
By this point in the PS2's lifespan, it had AAA titles coming from almost all directions of the gaming world while they are much harder to spot on Wii right now.
