| Demotruk said: Avinash, we're obviously talking about longer term decline. If you want to pretend that seasonal trends mean Nintendo is in resurgence, fine, I'll just equally conclude that since it's cooler here in the northern hemisphere than two months ago, the climate is in decline... |
But you have no idea whether its a long term decline, all you know was that it was declining earlier in the year, but that its not since the price cut and NSMB Wii, you'll have to see what happens next year to say anything, if next year is higher than this year, then its not a long term decline, its just that this year was a bad year.
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)
