| Sullla said: We won't be seeing 200k weekly in the Americas, that's for sure. This week was probably a bit higher than most non-holiday weeks will turn out to be (God help the other consoles if it isn't!) It's probably more realistic that we'll see in the range of 300-350k weekly in the slow months of the year. That's an increase of 100k/week over last year, when the Wii very consistently did 200-250k every week during the spring, summer, and early fall. The holidays will spike numbers upwards, and raise the average weekly sales over the 400k range. All told, we should definitely see over 20m Wiis sold this year. I predicted sales of 23m (for 42m lifetime) in 2008, and I'm pretty happy with my prediction thus far. |
I think all that hinges on how much nintendo can supply
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)
