 John Lucas was right!



 

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)

If Nintendo actually tapped all age groups, and women as well as the traditional 5-35 male audience, its certaintly feasible.  The market grows pretty rapidly.  PS1 and N64 both sold much better than any console prior (based on the shipment data I've looked up) in the Americas in 1996-1997 (and beyond for PS1), once the 3D revolution was in full effect.

We're about due for one of those massive, industry re-aligning expansions, since they seem to come once every ten years:

~72' to 75' Birth of arcade gaming

~ 83'-86' - NES Revolution/gameplay expansion revolution

~ 95'-97' - 3D/PS1 cinematic revolution

~ 06'-08' - Interface/Demographic revolution (motion control/Live/Home)

I think they could sell that much if every month was like December.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

If Nintendo had been selling 3.6 million a month then i doubt there would still be the demand next year to sustain it, anyways the wii is a good console but only the DS deserves sales like that, anyways this thread has gone bat shit insane so i'm going to get some sexual healing to soothe the pain

DS = Dual Screened Miracle

Games Playing-

Mario Slam BasketBall

Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time

Legend of Zelda: Phantom HourGlass



Now Playing

Planet Puzzle League

Kirby Mouse Attack

Nanostray

 


 


 

 

 

The last 365 days have made me respect the analyst's opinion less and less.

 So your argument can be summed up to you think Wii is a fad and don't like it so it can't sell that much, am I right?
