Shouldn't be to big of a problem since Wii sports isn't bundled in Japan that'll only be like 80 - 85 million. (Assuming the Wii sells 15 - 20 million in Japan)

It's also not bundled in Korea.  Then again, there's pretty much no way Wii's going reach 20m Japan, and it's definitely going to sell well over 100m worldwide by the time it's done.  Probably over 120m really.  PS3's top 10 will be lucky to manage half of Wii Sports lifetime sales.


In order for PS3's top 10's to get half of Wii Sports lifetime all PS3 software would have to stop now because it's already at roughly 50 million and there's no way Wii Sports is hitting 100 million.

Wii Sports is going to cruise past 100m.  Easy.

Yes, the PS3 will definitely get there. I mean eventually, it will have more than 90 1 million sellers.

Erm, yeah Wii Sports will easily break 100 mill, you really think Wii is only going to sell 20 mill in the west from now until the end of it's life??? 0_o

PS3 doesn't even have 1 10 million seller, let alone 10 ....

and no it's not going to have an exclusive GTA that does 18 million and no GT5 won't hit 15 million ect ect.

Wii sports needs another 35 milion from the west, which isnt looking likely really

Nah doesn't even need that, PS3 isn't going to have multi 10 million sellers this gen, and it's never gonna hit 100 million first ten games combined.

Weirdly PS3 and Wii have same number of 2 million sellers... ha



  1 million 2 million 3 million 5 million 10 million 15 million 20 million
Ps2 224 115 62 14 5 1 0
X360 111 56 23 10 2 0 0
DS 113 50 32 13 7 6 3
Wii 94 33 24 13 7 7 5
PsP 40 11 5 1 0 0 0
Ps3 77 33 21 5 0 0 0

 

I made this a couple of days ago, it overlaps quite nicely with this thread. I hope nobody minds I go a tad off-topic here, it's not to prove a point or anything, it's just that this has been discussed, and it deserves some proper numbers.

None of the consoles are likely to topple the Playstation 2's 224 million sellers. For million sellers, it looks like it will be Ps2 > X360 > Wii => Ps3 => DS > PsP to me.

None of them are going to beat the Playstation 2's 115 double million sellers either. Well, I suppose the X360 has a shot, but none of the others are going anywhere near there. Ps2 > X360 > Ps3 => Wii => DS > PsP

I don't think any of them are going to take the Playstation 2's 62 triple million sellers either. Ps2 > X360 > Wii => Ps3 => DS > PsP

For 5 million sellers, the Wii is likely to come out on top, a bit ahead of the X360, in front of the DS, then most likely the Ps2 ahead of Ps3, then finally PsP. Wii => X360 > DS > Ps2 > Ps3

10 million sellers isn't even a competition. The only 2 questions are; will the X360 get five 10 million sellers, and will the Ps3 get a single one? Wii > DS > Ps2 => X360 > Ps3 => PsP

15 million goes the same way.  Only question is; will the X360 get a single 15 million seller? Black Ops has a shot. Wii > DS > Ps2 => X360 > Ps3 = PsP

20 million is quite simply Wii > DS > X360 = Ps2 = Ps3 = PsP

3 things I am surprised about:

i) X360 has even more million sellers than Wii

ii) PS2 only had one game at 15m (San Andreas if I am correct) despite having a mahussive install base.

iii) The amount of 15/20 million sellers Wii has!

 

Here is to waiting until someone makes a thread "PS3 will Surpass Wii in 2 million sellers"



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Great analysis :D

It sure is one weird generation but i guess the wii is the way it is cause it is a Nintendo console. 1st party titles are extremely powerful giving it loads of 10-15-20 million sellers where as the lack of 3rd party has affected its million sellers performances in general. 360 is an amazing case of a second place console and the PS3 as a 3rd place(up to now).

Though Wii is likely to have above 100 million sellers by the end of the year or at least Jan 2011. 



It will probably happen but more because of the succsess of both third and first part ames on HD consols. It wont pass the wii in 10 million sellers but its only realy nintendo games thta sell that much as there generaly the best the wii has to offer. I dont think ti will happen in 2011 id say irst half of 2012 it will take the crown



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3
