Oh yes, whining was it? In my original post, I still pointed out that that two games that sell over 100k can easily move a couple thousand consoles. And when you claimed that I'd need to account for dropoffs, I said it would be only a couple extra thousand at best. Maybe it sounded like whining because you're so attached to the Wii that you're in serious denial, and it's frankly frustrating to argue with you. Besides, the Wii could just as easily have dropoffs, and it's not like Tekken is a small series in Japan (even if the numbers have fallen from previous iterations). And besides, for what seems like weeks, you've constantly been pushing the idea that software is just about the only force behind moving hardware. So isn't it very possible that two big games debuting to over 100k each will move a decent amount of hardware? Or are you throwing your own policy out the window when it suits you? Call me a whiner all you want, but you're still wrong and I'm still right. |
No, all you said was they can, move a couple thousand, you never showed that they will, then when I pointed out that they'd have to move more than a few thousand you just said it would be easy, again you never showed that they would, you just kept pulling the goalposts. I never said just any software will move hardware, just like Wii fit plus didn't move much hardware. You say you are right, but my point was you didn't show anything to support, you just said you were right and got upset when I didn't believe you without some support.
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)
