| Ail said: First off HD consoles may be up in sales, but how about profits? Are either of them making anywhere near the profits in gaming that Nintendo is making? Not even close, even down, Nintendo is doing far better than both combined, and their costs are much higher than Nintendo's and will probably continue to be a burden on them, that isn't healthy, in fact that spells disaster, there's only so long you can lose money before investors demand you pull the plug. Also Nintendo sales are the biggest aspect of the industry, as you say its because of Nintendo that sales are down for the industry, further proving my point that a healthy Nintendo is vital to the health of gaming |
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)
