| iWarMachine said: PS3 will cross that line, i don't know about the 360...seems likely. And no, the Wii will NOT pass the PS1 in lifetime sales, probably, the Wii will have its sucessor next year, since they're losing marketshare. |
You really think Wii won't reach 100 million sales to pass the PS1, when it's only 30 million away, yet the PS3 (which sells far less) will have no problems getting its extra 30 million to pass the NES?
Even IF, and that's a big if, Nintendo releases its next console prematurely, as in 2011, Wii will pull a Playstation and continue to sell decent numbers for a few years after. But in reality, I see a sensible time for the next Nintendo console to be holiday 2012, in which case the Wii should easilly have another 30 million sales by then.
I doubt Nintendo would release another console when A. Wii sales are still going strong, and B. they are already releasing 3DS during that time.
From my view, absoulte MINIMUM sales for Wii at this point are in the ballpark of 110 million, and that's WITH the consideration that Nintendo will release their next console next year (which is highly unlikely)
