That you chose the launch week of Mario Kart Wii, that sold 1.16M copies week one. Go back one week and the Wii sold about 2M pieces of software. Subtract the 350K bundled Wii Sports, and you're back to about 1.65M. That's what, 15% more than the PS3 today? Sounds good but in the very same league. |
With fewer consoles, and Wii kept that up consistently, kind of blows that whole more consoles argument out of the water, and I can point to other weeks earlier without kart or Brawl where sales are still consistent, kind of shows my point that software keeps the momentum and Wii has the software to maintain stronger sales than the PS3, i'm not detracting from the PS3 sales this week, but I am showing that its not some new equilibrium
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)
