Ok.. One more time..

If you look at the FY  You see a 5 mill drop..  last few year..  and you say 6.5 sold this year.. ok thats fair.. you recon that the drop will not be that 5 mill. this time.. only 3.5 mill drop..

I only say 6.5 because a drop to 5m seems slightly unbelieveable. But then I and others through the exact same thing this time last year about 10m, when Nintendo predicted 13m. 5m is not out of the question.

Sales are slumping hard across the globe, have you checked the front page? We're still in february and Wii is at 83k, it's already down 40% worldwide.

Now we are 2012-2013 and we agre that wii will have hit around 102 mill.... so fare so good..:)

100 - 102m.

As i said before.. Nintendo are not making any "pr" talk.. they mean when they say.. we will have to consoles on the marked..

Yes they are. 'Supporting' a console can mean as little as still having it manufactured and a couple of crummy games each year. Sony are still 'supporting' the PS2.

Nintendo will stand in that perfect situation.. they will have a monster next gen.. offering new games, better internet, media player, u-mote control, and true HD.. To a price.. let's say (and i don't know.. this is just a shot) about 350$

And.. to a totally diffent type of consumer they have the wii.. remember if you havent played galaxy. donkey kong wii-fit  zelda or what ever.. they are still pretty awnsome games.. And again 1.000.000.000 games on the market means alort.. Most of the games are made for single player and just run..

That's funny, those games are hardly selling the console now are they? No, the 360 and PS3 will be the legacy consoles, because they get the lionshare of 3rd party games, and have yet to reach the Wii's price.

Nintendo run.. better than gamecube.. i think it will live for a long time..:)

But thats just some info.. Back to 2013.. In 2013 the drop will be smaller and indsted of a 3.5 drop.. it will be around 0.5 to1.5 drop meaning at the end of 2013 wii will hit around 108-110 mill.. and i think ? Your maths is bad. 102 + 3.5 = 105.5 not 108 - 110.

FY14  3.5

FY15  3

FY16  2.5

FY17 2

FY18 1.5

118m that comes to, not 125m. Again, bad math.

Leaving the wii at around 125 Mill.. and that was in you numbers..

I'm a litle bit more optimistic.. becurse i know the right price.. mayby 129$ (99$ would be syko).. And bundles.. mayby one game, netflix and 5 VC games included, will open a new consumer group..

If nintendo choose.. they sell 130+.. easy..

It's not going to drop 5m a year then suddenly only 500k. There is so little support for the Wii now, there is going to be little to nothing software wise in 2014. What the hell is gonna sell it in 2018?

You're simply wrong, completely ignoring all the facts and history and just hoping for the best. Wii isn't going to reach 125m, even Nintendo know this.

And stop acting like it's Nintendo's choice, the market dictates when a console is done, especially when the manufacturer has all but abandoned it (which Nintendo basically have)

2012 - (6m) 101m
2013 - (3.5) 104.5m
2014 - (2m) 106.5m
2015 - (1m) 107.5m
Discontinued.


That makes far more sense than you thinking it has another 30/35m left in it when it's dropping at the rate it is, getting even less SW, having a successor out this year ect.
