| tarheel91 said: The only negative part of the Wii data is the downward trend in Japan. It's only been one year, though, so it's yet to be seen whether this trend is going to be an annual thing or whether interest in (or possibly supply of) the Wii really is decreasing over there. You would think the main cause of the slowing down would be the lack of tons of quality software, but SMG hasn't done too much to increase sales so that is kind of scary. Maybe Japan is just becoming ultra super casual and Wii Fit is going to do what SMG has yet to do. |
Similar downturns occured for PS2 around this time of year, by the time Wii Fit comes I expect it to Spike
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)
