| omgwtfbbq said: Generally, consoles sell more in their second year on the market than they do on the first. This is the time when the games come, the price-cuts hit, and the momentum really starts showing. If for some reason, the Wii does not sell all 1.8 million units produced each month, what to do with the remaining units is quite easy, stockpile them for Christmas. It is much cheaper to do that then to lower production and increase it again, and they may actually end up with enough to satisfy the Christmas sales in 2009. Wii production will not decrease. Not until at least 2010. |
In fact I expect it to go up as demand remains high through next year, I expect it to be at least 2.2 million per month by end of next year
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)
