2. If those games aren't going to bring tons of new people, how on earth do you expect wii to sell 17 million by the end of the year?

3. That is just wishful thinking. 50$ is not that big of a deal.

4. Yes, that is all what I got. Was there something else than gross generalisation to be seen? I mean, wii hasn't been selling more than 08 this year yet you think it will because... previous consoles did that also?! lolwut.

2. COMBINATIONS OF MULTIPLE GAMES, NOT INDIVIDUALLY!! That  and price cut and black Wii and ....

3. Its a whole new level of consumer base. This will be evident a couple weeks from now.

4. Its not generalization. If I brought out the sales from the two generations before that, it would be the same for NES, SNES, GEN, PS1, N64, etc. IF there were no price cut + black wii + games(NSMBWii +others) + etc, then yes, you would have a valid point. Considering parts 1,2,3 etc, then I see this year being better overall and much better during holiday.

Black wii? Gee.. that is starting to sound a bit desperate. Let's assume that wii sells something like 200k for the weeks before the pricecut. That leaves something like 16,6 million wii's to be sold in what, 12 weeks? That is:

1,38 million wii's per week!

How many times wii has sold more than 1 million per week lifetime?

3 times!

Now when I think of it, this has to be a joke thread. Sorry, I did not see the sarcasm before this post. :P
