Someone really needs to make the "Wii will stop selling in the middle of 2008" crow eating fiesta thread in anticipation, because that 'argument' is getting tossed around these boards a little too much lately to let people get away with such bold and unsupported statements. For a sales site that has to be one of the worst arguments I've seen here, and yet its clung to so tightly by a lot of people for no real reason at all.

There are actually very few who have that belief, but those who do are very loud about it. There are far more users who believe that the Wii will sell 500 million lifetime, which is an even stranger stance on a sales site.

Thinking that a console can do over half a billion is equally bold and unsupported, but it's okay on Vgchartz, shows just how much people here love Nintendo. I personally love this site, but these insane predictions are getting tedious now.

There are maybe 5 users total who believe that the Wii will sell 500 million lifetime. Those 5 users just tend to be extremely vocal, and get mixed in with people saying the Wii will be a huge success. I would say there are an equal number of people who think the PS3 will flip around and crush the opposition when the Wii stops selling because of reason Z. I do have to agree with you though that the outlandish predictions are getting old. I think it is a side effect of becoming a popular gaming site and attracting fanboys who like to scream from the rooftops that their console is the best.

True, but John Lucas is a hero in here for some reason, and a lot more than 5 users believe his predictions as far as I've understood. Rooting for your favourite console is one thing, but I prefer to do it with my head below the clouds...

I don't think the Wii will STOP selling, that'd be sheer folly, I do however think that the sales will slow down considerably after a while.
