The point of the thread was that between production issues and the lack of power (making the need for a 2nd generation Wii needed), would cause the Wii to not reach the uber-heights that other systems have reached.
80 million IS alot. Especially if it's only over a 4-5 year period. Only Sony has reached the production abilities to do those kinds of numbers. Even the DS, after 3-4 years, is only at 39m in this cycle.
Why is it that the Wii's lack of power compared to the PS3 and 360 will suddenly become a problem in 4-5 years? I still don't follow that line of reasoning. Also, It's not that Sony was the only company with the ability to produce so many consoles, it's that they were the only company with a console that that many people wanted to buy. If the Wii continues to sell PS2 like numbers, expect production to meet supply
And the DS wasn't always selling the way it is now. in Europe and NA, it's only been since the Summer of 06 that the system suddenly hit most wanted status. Besides, they'll keep making the system as long as people buy it. Yes, the DS is supply constrained right now, but once again, supply will eventually meet demand.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
