| ViolentPhlegm said: Brett, I'm not sure how this 10 million / 5 million race will play out, but do you really think Wii will have a better 2009 holiday than 2008 in Japan? Regardless of the price cut and game lineup, surely the dramatically lower sales during the year indicate a serious saturation issue, no? Couple that with this being the first holiday that the Wii has had any serious competition from PS3 and I can't see how it will not experience a decline. What am I missing? |
Maybe the fact that there have been far fewer big games this year than last, duh
But this fall and winter is going to see a lot of big games on the Wii
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)
