| DOATS1 said: i think your third is more possible than not, but do you really think sales will continue at its current rate for the next 7 years? i doubt the wii will still be in production at that time, im guessing nintendo would have released a new system by then. especially with the rate at which technology is moving at the moment, wii may become outdated way before that date anyway. your first is just impossible in my eyes, im sorry! 30+million wiifit boards wont happen! they would have to release a huge amount of games for it, and even then it would get too repetitive in my opinion. |
To pass 250 million by end of 2015 Wii would only need to sell about 29 million a year for the next eight years, very doable, as for demand of Wii who is to say how much demand for the Wii there is. Hardware has never decided a console war my friend, if it had PS2 would have lost and DS would be losing, Wii can easily have a nine-ten year lifespan, especially if sales continue, Why would nintendo need to release a new console unless sales slow down.
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)
