2015 is the answer and its not even in the poll.

2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 should not even be in the poll. It has no chance of selling 70 million in: 0.75 years, 1.75 years, 2.75 years or 3.75 years. The second 70 million will take a lot longer than the first 70 million. 5 years+ is reasonable

Your saying wii is going to have a sharp decline from here on out? No just no. Its going to hit 70 million next week.
It will sell about 22 million this year, putting the ending total at 86 million, Its going to have anthor 20+ million year
in 2011, Which brings it up to 106 million, One in 2012, 126 million, Now its not even far what the PS2 has now which is
132 million. Its going to be 2013. Quote me on this


If shipped numbers of the PS2 are 140 million + like Sony has stated in January, is it reasonable to assume 8 million + PS2's are on store shelves? Just wondering, cause that seems like alot.

Edit: An asterisk in the article says theose numbers are actually from September 2009, not Janaury 2010.

In 2 yrs. Then balance will be restored to the world.

I truly think it will never outsell the ps2 as the next generation should greatly slow down the Wii's momentum.

Never, ever, NEVER

I don't think it will.

Depends on when the next Wii releases.

Depends if Ninty keep supporting Wii, or put all the big franchises on "Super Wii".


The main selling point of Ninty's systems is the 1st party support. If 3rd party support doesn't pick up and become like it was on PS2, i can't see the Wii having a life as long as the PS2 (or even NES, SNES, PSone).

As long as GTA SA is available for sale, the Wii will not outsell the PS2

Even if it ends in 140 million the wii will proberly be at 141 million, Again I'm useing the least it can sell. Which is 15 million, Than It'll be
extreamely close by the satrt of 2014, So unless those shipped  PS2's sell Chances are it won't reach 140 million by the time 2013 is over

Also it sold only 4.8 million last year,
At this time the PS2 sold 1.1 million
This year its 650k

Its going to continue to go down unless somthing changes

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

Okay so I think it's safe to say the PS2 could be as high as 138 million now as they said they sold 140 million + (shipped I know). Basically this is all hinging on your assumption that Wii sales will not decrease for the next few years really. Will be interesting to see how that pans out.

What if the next Wii is like the DSi? and it's called iWii? will it be counted as a separate next gen console or a continuation of the current console?



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
