DalekLord said: Also if Nintendo started to pump 3.6 million wii's into the system it would not go unnoticed by sony and microsoft, i'm pretty sure they would react in someway, £100-£200 price cuts, throw money at third parties for big name exclusives, huge halo 3-esque advertising campaigns etc etc |
Hasn't hurt the Wii yet
so ask yourself not can wii sell 3.6M a month the entire year but can it sell 43.2M over an entire year? right now,... it probably could
I'm pretty certain the analyst was speaking in terms of average sales per month, not that it would be 3.6 exactly every month, I don't think anyone thought he meant the exact same number would be sold every month because no supply chain is that perfect
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)
