We're over half way through the year, and the holidays are going to be focused around the Wii U. They'll be lucky to sell any more than 4m by the end of the year. And I figure they'll be selling half as much as the year before from then on. It may very well take several years for the Wii to hit 105m total sales, which makes it all the more possible for PS3 to be in a legitimate race to that number. |
So you're saying it will only sell another 1.6mil this year? Assuming 45k a week until November, the Wii would be at around 3mil come October 31st. So it'd sell 1mil in the holidays, or 80k per week... You realise the Wii was selling nearly 1mil each week last year, right? It's not going to be down 90% YoY, my word...and this is if the Wii is lucky?? Even if it's down the current 60%, it'd sell 5mil. So, at least be realistic. It'd be odd if it doesn't sell through 100mil, or near it (over 99mil) come the end of the year, or 3mil from here. That is realistic, whereas your prediction isn't, despite the fact the PS3 can sell 40mil in 4 years from here? It'd be good if it does half that. I apologize for being blunt, but this thread has gone on long enough. Why the PS3 is immune to heavy YoY drops (it's down well over 20% for the month, and down over 10% for the year FYI) baffles me, and it should you. AND NO CRAY NINPIE!
