lol, well no, but there are approximately 450-600 million people in the middle classes of China and India combined, many of whom are becoming consumers of electronics, I believe the Wii could find great support in those countries (not to mention that salaries in those countries are growing pretty fast thanks to globalization)

 Number of people isn't the important statistic when considering market size for electronics. The relevent statistic is number of households.


 Assuming a family size of even five on average for the two countries you have stil 90-120 million households (give or take) just from the middle classes, which are growing as well, that would be a big boost to WW sales



 

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)
