| bmmb1 said: I expect Wii to outsell PS3 in the Americas and Others. As to Japan, it looks as though that may not happen, or this is going to be a close race, at least not until new bundles are offerred. All this is based on looking at various points in time at this week's Amazon sales charts in various countries, admittedly not a very reliable source. |
looking at Amazon for Japan is extremely unreliable, first Wii is split into 2 separate SKU's black and white, so that skews it, also DSi is nowhere in the top 20 in the Japanese amazon site, even though it sells the best week in and week out, far better than the PS3
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)
