congrats to nintendo and the wii system

If we take a 5% margin of error 1.5 Million actually.

I believe it could hit 35M sometime next year,  with all those new games to come I'm sure it will do well this holiday.  80M is not impossible.

It should get up to around 34 Million alone with the holidays..

I see well I'm predicting more news other than 3DS on 29th September, I think they like to have their own conference, we might hear more titles made for wii, new colors ect.  Wii sells best in USA so doing at least 33M this holiday would be good.

Its generally 0.87 for hardware as the scalar, the USA has a bigger share of sw though due to piracy in Latin America.

34.2 * 0.87 = 29.75m or so.

Wii sold 5.5m in the USA in three months last year (Oct-Dec) - even a 30% drop in that period would be 3.8m or so. So by the end of the year Wii should be at least at 35 million in the USA. I'm not yet convinced it will be down by 30% in Oct-Dec either. December probably will be by NPD (2.5m-3m instead of 3.8m), but November could be up (1.5m instead of 1.2m?) if that is when DKC releases, so the whole period may only be down 15-20%.

But... I thought the Wii was doomed?

It is.

Until people started throwing some random facts around to stop it from d0mming.

No worries though. It will be d0med again by early next week.

80 million in USA only? That is only like.. double the current numbers and then some.

oops I meant 80M worldwide :)
