| StanGable said: After seeing the numbers I'm assuming most consoles bought were gifts from parents/family members to the actual gamer. Of course, families sometimes go with what retailers tell them is the "coolest fad" and sadly those sellers tend to be pretty biased to their console of choice. In my opinion, this week we'll see PS3 - Around 200k returned to stores 360 - Around 50k Wii - Around 100k Is there any way to track this sort of info btw? |
I expect that many of the PS3's and 360's were bought by parents who couldn't find a Wii, so a few will get returned, I don't expect any Wii's to be returned since even if you don't want it it can be sold on Ebay for a profit
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)
