| Snake612 said: The Wii's current worldwide sales is at 67.21 million copies. At this point its selling somewhere between 250-300k first week worldwide. Those worldwide sales could change at any time this year due to huge title releases,big titles being bundled with the console or the holiday season. The Wii launched in 2006 and my guess is it could be discontinued by 2012 or 2013 (due to the fact that the average video game generation last 5-6 years) The Playstation 2 has been on the market since 2000 and it will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of its release in Japan next month. The current worldwide sales of the PS2 should be around 150 million copies and by the time its discontinued,(which I predicted early 2011), I predict the sales to be at 160 million copies worldwide. The Wii will probably sell another 20 million copies in the next 2 to 3 years. The sales of the Wii will be around 90 million copies and by then Nintendo will probably make the decision to discontinue the console. So by 2011, The PS2 WW sales will be around 160 million copies and by 2012 or 2013, The Wii's WW sales will be at 90 or 100 million copies by the time its discontinued The way I see it, it will be impossible for the Wii to outsell the PS2 in WW sales. which means the PS2 will remain the best selling console of all time.

Ofcourse the PS2 will remain the best selling console (not including handhelds). Nintendo screwed up that gen and sold even less units then the new on the market xbox from Microsoft. So mainstream gamers got a PS2 for the eyetoy and singstar. But hardcore gamers also got a PS2 for games such as FF, GTA and many more. Now all those games are multiplatform and Nintendo is dominating the mainstream market. SO the PS2's market is spread across all three consoles now and you'll see many households with a PS2 in the closet and a 360 or Wii under their tv.
