Sales - Wii helps PS3? - View Post

If the Wii was only selling to the usual console buyers worldwide as previous consoles did and PS3/XBOX360 are I would say Wii sales would slow down BUT it is selling to people that would not usually buy a games console as the DS is. Who knows if it will still be selling to this group and in what numbers in 2 years time.

That's a good point, the DS really hit its sales stride in the second year.  It wasn't sold out the first year like the Wii but then Nintendo was making a lot more of them initially.  We could easily see the Wii explode next year to over 2 million per month when a great library combines with excellent releases and major production increases.
