| jjseth said: Short answer. No. In this generation I don't think any console will have a greater then 50% marketshare as the systems offer greatly different gaming experiences. You may see those with a PS3 or 360 pick up a Wii as a party system or for kids, while when they really want to get to the hardcore games they have one of the two powerful consoles. With GTA4 coming out on the 360 and PS3, expect the margin that the Wii is leading by to shrink even more. The GTA series has been very popular around the world and will continue to attract gamers to one of those two systems. Which one a person chooses will be dependent on what they prefer of the two consoles. But without that experience on the Wii, it will end up hurting them in the long term. |
No GTA game sold over 15 million, on a console with 113 million in sales, that's about 13%, not really a big deal, in fact I would say almost everyone who is getting GTA 4 probably has a PS3 or 360 already
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)
