Nope, you see this gen is different, people who have never bought a video game system are buying, because of games like Wii sports, and Guitar Hero and Mario and Sonic and so on, see games are selling the system, just not the games that the core gamers enjoy.

well according to VGchartz data, the ps2 version of guitar hero sold the most by far. Discrediting the ps2's casual draw at this point simply makes you look foolish.

 


 Never disregarded the PS2's casual draw, but its a system with about 5.5 times the userbase and only sold about double the Wii's amount, indicating its casual draw is not as strong as the Wii's and that is what I have been saying, Wii's is much stronger



 

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)
