So there can't be a middle road between "dropping into Hades" and not dropping off at all? You do realize that polarizing the argument does nothing to deflate either side, right?
Let Pachter have his prediction, and Crazzyman and everyone else but please, be mature enough to realize that some people have a more nuanced way of seeing things than this.
Or should I group you with Avinash and John Lucas and claim that you think the Wii might sell half a billion or 240 million at the very least?

Arguing is fine but the OP is just silly imo.

I guess the fine art of parody is lost on you.  I thought it was pretty obvious?

Still, even given that my poll is sadly the more realistic of the two. lol.

Yeah, I never understood why there's this collective belief that despite Wii sales tracking well ahead of PS2 sales, the great majority doesn't think Wii sales will eventually pass PS2. As I recall, the majority of gamers didn't think Wii would outsell Xbox 360 either.. for some reason the Wii, as long as it exists, will constantly be underestimated.

Unless Nintendo themselves cuts the lifespan short by releasing another console soon, Wii shouldn't have a problem passing PS2 eventually.

Eh? The PS2 has sold more than the wii, so what's this thread getting at?

Talk to the science honey.  *snapz*

A more fair visual aid.

I cut it at 5 years, since PS2 sure as shit has no hope of overtaking Wii before then.  I'm more curious when people think this inevitable Pachterian decline is going to take place?

It already had a decline last year. These people think that decline is still continuing.

~4m in December in the US alone is a decline?  These people need sum edumacation stat!  I fear for our youth! :(

Are you saying that you don't think Wii declined in 2009?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

See, this is what ruins Vgchartz. Fanboy wars. There was no need to make this thread other than to response to a bunch of fanboys. Stuff like that makes the forum worse for everyone. If you're trying to prove a point, it isn't much of one.

I'm saying there's been no continued decline from 2009.

I nominate this thread as "Thread of the Last Hour"!



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

I'm concerned that this thread might give me visual AIDS.

Patrick Stewart + machine gun = game industry

Fat boy + truffle shuffle shield = Wii
