Forums - Sales - Can the wii hit 20m by 08

I have to see last weeks sales before a guess

3:1 odds against it if I were a betting man, will be very close though.

That's about the same as asking "Did Nintendo stockpile for the holidays or not?"

Personally I think the answer is yes, given the comparison between their production and shipped numbers in the past 4 or 5 months.

I think the safe money is on 19m, but I do think there is a possibility of it hitting 20m. It will be tough for it to get there though.

20 million, I don't think so. 18.5 million is a real possibility though.

As with the PS3 hitting 8 million, by calender year I don;t think so but it is a big possibility Wii selling 6 million units in the next 5 weeks? Sorry I don't see it, now 3 million I could totally believe so I picture some where around 17-18 million by December 31st 2007.

Assuming current pacing even with the lull of after Christmas I'm gonna predict 21million wii's sold to consumers by march 31st 2008.

 It won't be close, it has to sell 5.5 million in 5 weeks, will the Wii sell 1.1 million a week from now till Xmas? I seriously doubt it, as the only system with a remote chance of doing those kind of numbers is the DS.



The demand is there, but unfortunately the supply isn't.

It could sell 30 million if the supply was there...



Matters how many wiis nintendo stock piled

im guessing no, but most likely 17-19 long as they stockpiled a good ammount



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

14.43 million Wii consoles have currently been sold. Do you really think that the same number of Wii consoles to sell before 2008 will match the same number of current Playstation 3 consoles sold, at around 6 million? 2008 is around one month away. There is absolutely no way that it can achieve this. That's about 1/3rd the total amount of Wii consoles currently sold. It might sell 15 million, but not 20 million.
