Pretty crazy considering just 2-3 years ago it was deemed inevitable for it to cross 50% and remain there. People just seemed to have lost interest in it. Something even price cuts couldn't remedy. |
A few years ago people were saying it was inevitable that the Wii would pass the PS2 in sales. At this point, it probably won't even surpass PS1 sales.
|
it depends on how long they keep supporting it, 5 million isn't completely impossible. But either way, the wii will likely go down as the most "profitable" home console of all time. Which is honestly much better than having the largest market share.
|
Where are the charts on VGChartz that track profit? :)
|
What does that have to do with anything? :)
but there is this http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=136006 :P

It's important because the majority of this site's membership is here to discuss unit sales. That's what the site provides in terms of content. If I search for a game in that little box at the top it doesn't tell me how profitable the game was.
Interesting link though.

I get what you are talking about, but my issue with it is that wasn't what I was talking about. Just because this site's members discuss unit sales doesn't mean I can't talk about profits. While unit sales are valuable, what determines whether we will have a ps5/wiiz/next-next-box will be profit not market share. So why you are telling me i can't talk about profits(well you aren't actually telling me that, you are just hinting at it) is a mystery to me.
|
It's definitely fine by me if you talk about profits. You're right too in that it determines future viability of consoles. It's just not what a lot of us are here for. For me, it's not a counter-argument to a decline in sales.

I wasn't trying to counter-argue:P I was just stating that the wii will likely go down as the biggest money making home console in history, it wasn't meant to be a counter-argument or anything, just trying to be the glass half-full kinda guy:P
