I think people don't realize something about the Wii, even at its current lull its selling better than historical trends in October through December 2000 PS2 was selling far worse than the Wii is right now, in fact the week ending december 3rd it sold only 3,637 consoles. The following year it was selling around 37,392 the week ending the 11th of November, pretty much the same time of year as now, only a few thousand more than the Wii and this in its second year with a deeper library than the Wii has right now, so the assumption by some that the Wii is somhow failing is based on an ignorance of historical trends
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)
