Then it needs to double the sales of 2007 (14,5M) to get 150M, I don't think it can keep up the doubled sales for 4 more years. And, putting that last quote in was just mean. Now you made it look like I posted that, which I didn't. I hope you understand what I meant now. :) |
Wasn't trying to be mean, but why do you think Wii will only last 5-6 years, NES was a gen behind when it launched, it lasted 20 years in japan (10 in NA), Wii will easily go 9-10 more years.
You assume it can't keep the doubled sales rate, when in fact all trends seem to point that it will continue to go strong and will likely even pick up speed in the coming years
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)
