WTF? =)
What trolling?
1) it`s not nintendo thread or site.
2) it`s my point of VIEW.

You can view on SAME things with MANY different points of VIEW.

You see the good sales, which will continue, till Wii reach atleast 100 or 200 mln.
I see good sales, which can decline, after all nintendo fans and GC owners bought Wii.
It`s a matter of view. =)

just tell me how do you explain the Wii has already far surpassed the GC's LTD in Others and in Japan and is still selling?


Wii sold 5 mln. in Japan, 1 mln. more then GC, thxn to casual non-gamers (2 mln. Wii play).
Wii sold 6.8 mln. in Europe, 2 mln. more then GC, thnx to casual non-gamers(3 mln. wii play) and casual gamers(SMG sales increased).
Wii sold 9.3 mln. in USA, 3,4 mln. less then GC.

So, Japan should very soon reach level(6 mln.), when all GC onwers bought Wii.
Europe is near reaching this level too(8 mln.).
Usa need to sell atleast 18 mln., when almost all GC owners will buy Wii.

So till 32 mln. You shouldn`t worry about Wii sales.

p.s. maybe wii play - tottaly non-gamer casual game don`t represent the numbers of casual non-gamers on Wii(around 10 mln. now), but WHO knows? =)


CrazzyLogic at it again! So if we take Wii sales and subtract the number of people who bought WiiPlay (nearly 10 million) we'll get the number of GC owners who have moved to the Wii? NO WAY.

GameCube sales after 65 weeks: 6 million
Wii sales (minus WiiPlay "non-casual gamers) after 65 weeks: 11 million

Odd. There are still people buying the Wii who didn't pick up the GC, and I don't see any reason for the Wii to sell faster to the GC owners who were Nintendo fans, since the GC didn't exactly "shoot" out the gate like the Wii has. I don't see the Wii slowing down at 32 million. Sorry.
