shams said: I'm saying 50m. Even that will be a challenge - going from 17m (in a fiscal year) to 30m - is anything but trivial (that comes to 2.5m/month). Predicting Ninty will forecast 25m for next fiscal year - leaving a little room to up it a couple of times over. Quick predictions (March '09) Wii: 50m 360: 25m PS3: 20m |
Well Sony went from 7 million in its first year to 24 millionat the end of its second with the PS2, Wii is selling at double the rate of the PS2, PS2 basically increased its production by a factor of approx. 2.5, if Wii was to do that it would result in second year production of anywhere from 40-50 million consoles
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)
