The Wii is at 69.56 million. It took the Wii 40 months to get to that number. The PS2 is at around 140 million and that took 10 years to get to. What year do you think the Wii will outsell PS2?



Around the Network

Depends how the long the wii stays in production really. Could be in 3-4 years though.



2010 and 2011 are impossible targets except in the minds of John Lucas and Avinashi Tyagi.
2012 is a long shot
2013 is possible, my bet goes to 2014.... I wouldn't have voted 2015 but there should have been an option for it.



Probably around 2014, if it continues to sell around 20M each year.



I'm not entirely sure that it will outsell the PS2. I understand that its pace is faster than the PS2 at this point, but I think that with the 360 and PS3 having already sold better than Xbox and GC that perhaps the Wii won't top the 140 million range...



Bah!

Around the Network

40 months = 70 million
80 months = 140 million
It's summer 2013 guys.



Hmm... my guess would be late 2013, probably in the holiday season.

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I suspect the Wii will be withdrawn from market once the next generation console is released. Theres no point in selling it in the western world alongside the next generation Wii. However it may have a long life in third world countries with a bunch of pre-bundled titles.



Tease.

wow 45% people say the wii will never outsell the ps2. In denial of course
Anyway 2013, I'll put my predictions here

2006: 2.9 million            Total 2.9 million
2007:16 million              Total 18.9 million
2008:23.4 million           Total  42.5 million
2009: 21 million             Total  53 million
2010: 20 million             Total  83 million
2011: 20 million             Total  103 million
2012: 20 million             Total  123 million
2013:15 million              Total 138 million

Mind that I'm useing the mininum of what the wii has to sell. So basicly
it would take a some outside magic to prevent it. And heck I stopped at 2013 which
will be one year after Wii 2 is released.  I think the wii will end at 150 million to 170 million when its all said and done

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true
