Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Wii almost at 74M - Will it hit 82M by end of year?

Yes I saw the other thread so I thought I should do the same. With some big hitters coming this year I think it can just finish around 82M by end of year, 83.8M shipped.

It has a few software that will give it a push like DKCR, Kirby and I belive uDraw tablet from THQ with Nintendo also behind it coudl do a difference.

Well it needs to sell 8.3 million between now and the end of the year. Last year it sold 13.1 million in the same time frame. Obviously last year the price cut and NSMB helped tremendously and while I can't see it getting close to those numbers this year it would need to be down a scarily huge amount not to hit 8.3 million. I'd say it has a very very good chance of hitting 82 million barring any adjustments. In fact I think it could hit 84 million, but the holidays would need to be huge since it will probably lose between 1.5-2 million YOY in the lead up to them.

3. Wipeout HD

5. Super Street Fighter 4

80M almost granted, given how strong Wii is usually for Xmas, 81M still quite easy, 82M starts being more difficult, but still possible.

85m would be nice, heck back in September 2009 I thought wii would sell around 62M by end of year but it did 65M instead maybe wii will suprise us once again.

I thought he was either joking, being silly or read the question wrong but really I don't know what exacly he is thinking.  Wii shoudl be at least 93M end of next year though or maybe 94M.
