Atleast that's my prediction. I think we are seeing the start of people moving from PS2 to PS3 right now in Europe and we'll probably see it soon in the US aswell, not saying that it will overtake the wii, but it will definitly be alot closer in marketshare at the end of 08' compared to 07'. I hope Wii keeps up the good sales though, I think the console is great and its nice to see innovation beating preformance for once. I don't see it as a main competetor to the PS3 though, since they, in my opionion don't aim for the same group of customers. Sony would hate it alot more if X360 had the Wiis sales instead of the way its now.. |
Sorry dude but that theory has no basis in reality, you see Wii targets a much wider demographic, so not only willgamers buy but nongamers, people who care nothing for 360 or PS3, remeber big gamses didn't sell the PS2, it was "shovelware" that sold it
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)
