Oh I'm talking sales, not opinions.  Wii software blows PS2 out of the park.  Just like hardware.  

And launch aligning generationally versus launch aligning competitively is a pretty different can of worms.  PS2 has little to zero impact on Wii, while 360 hugely impacts PS3.

from what planet some of u came?
U really believe wii ll continue to sell 20 millions per year for next 4,5 years?
BY then ps4 and xbox720 ll be out ,and wii2 100%.

wii2 is coming in next 2 years im 100% sure,and there is no chance wii ll have same sales momentum in 2012 or 2013.

Wii has outsold the PS2 every year with aligned launches. To not outsell the PS2 it not only has to slow down really fast, it has to slow down much much faster than the PS2 did, but it just has too much momentum to do that. If GTA4, Halo 3, God of War 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Modern Warfare 2, Final Fantasy 13, and everything else couldn't slow it down, what will? Sports Champions, Move Party, Brunswick Bowling, Ricochet, and Milo? I am suddenly rolling on the floor laughing.

No, but it doesn't need to sell 20m for 5 more years.  If it did that, it'd probably double PS2 sales in the end.

I also doubt Wii maintains it's current sales past Wii 2 launch (which may be as soon as Q4 2011 imo, at least for Japan), but I also don't see it dying off immediately and entirely like the Sonycorps are praying for.  Truthfully, it's a crapshoot.  Wii's going to definitely sell more than 20m this year, but past that we don't really know.  What we do know though is that it won't be wound down like N64 or GameCube...

LoL So am I..that's contagious.

Have you read any of the posts or are you trying to make yourself look stupid on purpose? No one here is claiming that HD software will "stop the Wii" so get a hold of yourself and stop being so childish. The next generation starting will lead to a decline in sales of all platforms and a halt eventually, the only dispute lies in when this generation starts and how much momentum is lost until then. Or are you one of those who believe that the next Wii won't be out until 2020 because it will never stop selling?

Save for Scottie, who is actually behaving like an adult, all I see in this thread are people pointing and saying "lol, you're stupid", solid arguments indeed. I somehow expected more from the senior members, guess I was wrong to do so.

Have you read the thread?  KBG29 said exactly that and NYTANKS implied the same.

Speaking of throwing up polarizing absolutes and inflammatory tone... calm down and practice what you preach...

Only reason it won't happen, and I mean the ONLY reason, is if Nintendo purposely cuts the Wii's lifespan short by releasing its next console soon. Otherwise there is no reason to believe it won't eventually outsell PS2.

I don't get why Wii seems to be the one console where everyone just assumes its sales are going to drop like a rock. It's tracking AHEAD of the PS2, so where do you get the logic that it will sell LESS?

Fine, I'll calm down and practice what I preach. But can everyone please stop being so childish? If you want to discuss something, do it like an adult. Metallicube; I can't speak for everyone else but I've said this myself a thousand times in here; lifespan. That's why I believe it anyway.

PS: Sorry for snapping at you Rubang but you sometimes have an extremely condescending tone in here which irks me a great deal sometimes. Use you intelligence (which we all know you have) instead of attitude to get your points across is my advice.

Well I don't bump into you in too many threads these days, so I can understand how I came off like an idiot.  I skimmed through most of the thread.  I am a firm believer that software sells systems.  It will take software to slow the Wii down.  In my opinion all the biggest games for 360 and PS3 have already come out and not even dented the Wii's sales.  So you and many others have the opinion that what will slow the Wii down will be the software from the Wii 2 and other systems of the next generation.  Sure, it's a possibility.  But the DS/PSP didn't slow the GBA down, the Wii/PS3/360 didn't slow the PS2 down, the PS2/XBox/GC didn't slow the PS1 down.  The market leader always lasts between 3 and 13 extra years, where it just keeps dominating and very slowly declines.

DS came out in 2004.  360 came out in 2005.  Wii and PS3 came out in 2006.  GBA was still outselling the PS3 in 2007.  That's how powerful market leaders are.  The Wii should last longer than the GBA, since the GBA didn't exactly have a huge game-changing market-expander like Wii Sports or Wii Fit.

The majority of consoles are sold at $200 or less.  The Wii sold more units at its original price than any other console.  Now it's at $200 or less.  It should at least double its sales.
