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

A more interesting question would be: will Wii reach 100M by the end of next year?

Will be damn close.


Actually, I'm going to say yes.  I believe a nice price cut will show up some time next year to keep sales cruising along to that 100 million mark.

LOL, are you serious, you didn't read the question right or what?


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.

It would have to sell around 500,000 units every week starting this week. Unless there's a huge spike I don't see the Wii even hitting 80 million units sold

This, I am pretty confident that wii will be around 82-84 m by the last week the year... And, so I think Nintendo should do something big to achieve 100 m by the end of the next year... I could happen though, but Nintendo needs something more than just Zelda to achieve it...

Maybe it can do only 96M next year and finally hit 100M Spring 2012.

Wii sold 22M last year and it needs at least 15M to hit 80M, and it's now at 8M and I think that milestone isn't a mile away.

Even when it has a mildly disappointing September, Wii clearly showed it can still have the strongest December. It's the console even girls like and moms aren't afraid of, so it's quite natural that it be the strongest for Xmas. This to say that we cannot exclude 100M by 2011's end until we have seen both Xmas 2010 and 2011 sales. BTW, after the last unofficial cuts I saw around (169€ including 20%VAT for the white WSR WM Plus bundle), it's starting becoming affordable even for medium-low income families.

Selling 8 mil in three months is highly unlikely; the Wii is a juggernaut compared to the DH twins, but it's not going to sell THAT much even with big titles like Kirby, NBA Jam, DKC, and Goldeneye.

It only needs 7M actually, and with it being cheaper now that last year it could just do it. Oh and 7M in 4 months rather than 8M in 3 months :p

I don't think that's the problem here

I guess this man just doesn't know about the magical effect of Christmas on console sales.  Aiddon, the Wii sold almost 2 million units during a single week last Christmas (and more than 1 million units each week for like a month or so)
