i see a lot of women and parents buying 360's and ps3's, do you assume only the hardcore crowd buy 360's and ps3's. I would say i game casually, does that mean i wont buy a ps3 no it doesn't. and just so yopu know people do still go and buy PS2'S
You speak of a few and try call it a large group, i'm actually speaking of a large group, yeah some casual gamers by the PS3 and 360, but a lot more nongamers and casuals buy a Wii.
PS2 is bought by some, but its sales don't hur tthe Wii, nor will price drops of the PS3 and 360, the markets are too different.
demand is finite, there are only so many buyers, i dont see how it could sell 3.6 million for more than 6 months max before dropping down to whatever you percieve as the 'norm'
Define Norm, only 3 million per average month and 5 million in holidays perhaps? What is norm? 43 million consoles a year can be divided up in so many different ways
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)
