| Ail said: Somehow I am starting to doubt seriously that the Wii will ever pass the PS2... I just can't believe that 6 years from now it still would be selling 120k/month like the PS2 just did... If you believe NPD numbers the Wii is now tracking same as the PS2 was at a similar time after its launch too, roughly 80k/week. The Wii is still ahead because it had outperformed the PS2 up to now but that period is now over... |
So much fail in that statement, Wii sports resort is just about to come out, a new bundle, and color and hugely popular RPG is about to come out, another Wii fit, and a new 2d mario, and you really thin kthat Wii won't keep outsellign the PS2, lol, at this point in its life, the PS2 was already less than $200, in fact it was dropped to 180 around this time in its life, Wii still has yet to even have one price drop and its still tracking better than the PS2 at $250, lol
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)
