That said, it's like saying that 'well, the 360 has only sold more because of the headstart' or 'but the PS2 only sold well because it was $100 cheaper than Dreamcast'. All are valid points, but since when did having an advantage become a disadvantage? Should we take away half the PS1's sales because it was 'cheaper' than the N64? |
It wouldn't be the same machine at $500, so you can't say that, the reason Wii sells so well even when the 360 is only $30 more is because of the games
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)
