Then you do of course know that the term trend implies that it'll be relieved by another sometime? That's true with all things. I think predicting the market has gotten harder than before, and I think most agree on that at least. |
Not really, the more things change the more they stay the same, people remain more or less the same, they still want fun, and Nintendo brings fun for everyone not just 13-35 year old males, at a mass market price, Sony and MS on the other hand have their niche and fight tooth and nail over that niche, which is why they are limited in their growth potential
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)
