| Punisher said: And why do people always bring it up, that Ps2 was launched different time at every region. Nintendo could have done the same and still have a sell-out. It's just that Sony underestimated Ps2's sales potential like Nintendo has done with Wii.

Because Wii sold more in the same amount of time, PS2 wouldn't have sold as much ast the Wii has, if Wii had staggered they may have sold even more then they have so far because of more supply availible for each launch, but PS2 wouldn't have been able to match the Wii's sales either way, because as we saw demand tapered off faster in each market, the fact that demand still hasn't been matched for Wii proves that it has stronger demand
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)
