I suppose we'll just have to wait and see it all play out then :). And while I agree that Wii games tend to have long sales lives, you also have to admit that, realistically, none of the games you pointed out really have a shot at 2 million...(Sonic Unleashed is closest but I think it's surge was due to price cuts and I don't see much more room for more cuts on that title). In addition, if you look at the million list, there's only a handful of them that are over 1.5 million, meaning a lot of these games need to sell 600,000+ more to hit the 2 million mark, and that's not an insignificant amount to clear. I guess all I'm really saying is that I don't see many current 1 million sellers on Wii 'graduating' to the 2 million mark.


I kind of agree with you as for the actual 1 million seller games that could reach the 2 million mark. I don't think the Wii will reach as many 2 million seller as the X360. But the 1 million seller race will be very interesting.

Out of curiosity, since you clearly have more experience watching/tracking the numbers and such, where do you think these 3rd-party Wii titles will end up topping out at: Modern Warfare Reflex, Just Dance, EA Sports Active? I've been pretty impressed with them so far, as well as Toy Story Mania, and I'm wondering if the hype over the release of the 3rd movie might be enough to propel that to 2 million. Your thoughts? Plus, I definitely agree with you that the Wii will not have as many 2 million selling games as X360, but I think it just underscores the differences that have brought up again (and again, and again, ad nauseum) about how titles sell on the platforms. Wii has those astronomical selling hits, less 'mid-range' hits and more 'lower-level' hits, while X360 has less gigantic hits, more 'mid-range' hits and roughly the same 'lower-level' hits. The whole thing is really quite fascinating. Where do you see PS3 ending up in terms of million sellers and 2 million selllers? On par with Wii, or 360, or?



Bah!
