i'm not going to argue for or against the fad argument. but the fact is wii sales didn't just start droping, they've been dropping since 2007.

True, but not at a substantial rate. They were more flat really, up until the second half of last year...

I doubt the Wii will fall below 10mil per year for a VEEEEEEEEEEEERY long time. The Wii will soon replace the PS2 as the budget console, and supporters of the PS2 will migrate to Wii when it hits $99 (I believe it's around £60 around here).

When this has been done, expect the Wii sales to hold steady for a couple years, regularly outselling the Wii2, akin to that of the PS2/3. The budget price will also attract PS360 owners of this gen and give them a secondary console, so why move to the Wii2? Unless something amazing happens, I doubt we'll be dropping for much longer.

 

Also, will someone actually post a prediction? Or did you all just visit this thread for the lulz

well i generally don't participate in prediction threads in part cause i'm really bad and in part cause i don't really have any respect for the numbers vgc posts.    ...but since i feel called out, without price-cuts the wii will go down from where it is now in the summer lull.  with the rumored price cut i think it will just maintain its current sales, whatever they currently are.
