The potential reason why the Wii might surpass PS2 sales numbers of 100 million

[shams]

Stromprophet said: I don't think it will. PS1 and PS2 were incredible selling machines, just ridiculous the sales they achieved. Wii lacks the developer support to get there, something both the PS1 and PS2 had. Think about it. GTA is never going to be on the Wii, RE will never be on the Wii, Assassins Creed, Unreal Tournament. And the list goes on, it simply doesn't have the horsepower for a lot of top selling games that are going to completely skip the Wii system all together. Based on 2 full months of sales we reach this conclusion??

Sorry - I don't agree. The Wii is going to get MORE 3rd party support than any other console. Its basically unique, development is easy, porting a PS2/current-gen title is easy, etc. You'll be surprised - I wouldn't be surprised to see GTA (the last 3) on the Wii. If they come out on the PS2 - why not? Manhunt II is coming out? RE is coming out. Shooters - who knows. If a company manages to bring *any* classic shooter to the Wii successfully (i.e. Quake), you'll see a mass movement as all of them come to it. As publishers are realising, the Wii is an *easy* way for them to increase their revenue. Virtually every major publisher has stated that they are increasing their Wii (and DS) support. EA, Sega, Activision, THQ, Take2/Rockstar, etc. Ubisoft is already there. What the Wii won't have is as many "cutting-edge", high tech, high budget titles (exclusive or other). Eventually the Wii will take the place of the PS2 (in terms of development budgets), and teams will be shifted over to it. Its also going to have the highest "casual" gaming audience - the most games (VC), lowest entry barriers for new gamers (lowest cost, easier controller), etc. I agree that its too early to be making predictions - but that is exactly what this thread is about anyway - predictions ;)
