Again, you seem to think that the Wii is somehow magic and not affected by industry woes. Even last summer, in its first full ww year with a lot less production it failed to sell out in the slow summer months. |
i could not walk into a store last summer here in the US and expect to find a Wii in stock...i could get to a store within an hour of wiis being on shelf and grab one, but i couldn't walk in at a random time and find one
i consider that to be sold out...when all wiis sell the day they are put on the shelf, they are sold out
and i've stated many times that i believe wii would sell all 2008-produced wiis by 12/31/08 even if wii fit/mario kart/brawl weren't coming out, so i am not betting solely on wii fit
wii fit is just going to make the demand even more insane than it already is
perhaps i simply have a different perspective than u since i had to get to best buy 5 hours early a few sundays ago to get a wii and i can still make $75/wii on craigslist during March 16 months after launch..and i get multiple calls every day, even when the ads are a month old
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)
Predictions:
Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07 CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp
