I see Wii as the new Entertainment System, just like a DVD player has many types of movies and TV-series to buy and is easy to use, Wii is the same with games. A true Entertainment System is for everyone, and it will sell much and to all kinds of people.

At best it will be like PSP and DS in Japan, PS3 might match or succeed Wii in sales many times in the future, but not by much margin and it will never pass Wii at a strong lead.

I wonder, can any console really sell up to 100 000 000 this generation?

 Wii is far outpacing the PS and PS2, both sold over 100 million, so I don't see why Wii won't.

I don't know really. Maybe I'm afraid Wii will hit a invisible barrier at about 75 million as the market goes more towards HD consoles, leaving Wii with lower sales stopping at 80-90 million as an endnumber. Maybe much less. I'l be happy if that does not happens and maybe I'm afraid of nothing real. 100+ million would be nice.

Although, I think the most important thing is a fast selling console up to 50 million as it would have a nice impact on what games comes to Wii and the weakly gamesales.
