Wow, PC IS NOT A CONSOLE!!!! If it were why don't we track the sales of PC. Because clearly PC's have sold more than all the consoles combined and makes this whole discussion and this website void. Gaming did not move to the PC. It was always there from day 1. There were no "gaming PC". NES's main competition was the SMS and the 7800. All three of these systems are very compareable when you look at the specs. |
SMS was launched after the NES, as was the 7800, they were in response to the NES's success against the gaming PC's, gaming PC's were systems like the Commodore 64 which was where gaming moved to once the console crash occured
We don't track PC sales, because theat ageis long over, NES won, but at the time when NES launched it was facing the much more accepted gaming PC's, consoles at that time were thought to be destined to crash over and over
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)
