| iconeternal said: Please, The industry wasn't in stagnation before the wii, if I remember the PS2 did rather well for it self, the xbox 360 seemed to have fairly good first year sales and that little DS thingy seems very popular on the tube. Their can be no doubt that the wii is leading the way by a hefty margin and will probably go on to win this round, hope so any way, but if it had never happened then one of the other two would have taken the lime light and been number one. |
Would have been number one yes, but would not have sold that well, the next gen sales would have stagnated, take the DS out as well and the entire industry would be on the verge of collapse as sales would be in the gutter
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)
