| BKK2 said: To be honest I don't know how it works. Could units ordered by retailers be counted even if they hadn't arrived at the stores yet? Also, I don't live in the US, so not that easy for me to know, although I assume it was basically sold out in December. I'm also going to assume that official Wii sales in Mexico are so small as to be insignificant. |
Because it seems odd to me to believe that at the end of 2007, NPD had 8.03 million sold compared to Nintendo's 8.85, meaning 820K still left on shelves and then to say that only around 270K to have been sold since (according to VGC), seems a bit unrealistic, since that would mean that even without shipping any, another 450K still sits on the shelves just doesn't seem likely (truthfully even VGC seems a bit low, but still closer than NPD)
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)
