I'm starting to get worried about the Wii.

From what I hear, the Wii doesn't need your concern.

Sports Resort, Monster Hunter 3, Crystal Chronicles, New Super Mario Bros...

It could be outselling the HD competition worldwide in Japan alone once it gets warmed up...

Oh wow and i though people are hyping Sony games to the roof :)

Monster Hunter 3 will sell maybe 500k in Japan and will not give more than 20-30k hardware boost for a week or two.

Crystal Chronicles - i don't see much hype for this so it certainly won't have impact of main new parts of FF, it won't even get close to more famous spinoffs like FF X-2 but it's hard to say if it will have good or bad sales - last FF game on Wii was less than stellar.

 

Sports resort will be big but it's not going to get many new players - if you liked motion controls you already have Wii if you don't 1:1 controls throwing frisbee is not going to make you spend $300 (Wii+WSR).

Of those only Mario can give significant hardware boost but as game from DS it won't pull Galaxy numbers.

wanna do another bet?


What's your prediction then ?

I alreayd put it in TheSource's thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=2295450

However, this is more about you think MH3 would only sell 500K in Japan and have a max of 60K boost for Wii hardware. I'm willing to bet with you that MH3 would sell more than 600K (which is 20% more than the number you predicted) and it will move more than 60K Wii hardware after its release (using the hardware number the week before MH3 release as a baseline).



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
