I say 100 Million by the end of 2011...so yes. Also I am one of the few who still thinks the Wii will outsell the PS2 in the end. Its still $200.


I think it will to, Wii Vitality Sensor will be a massive hit

 it's not going to outsell ps2, it will fall short of ps2 sales, it's in decline now and i expect it to crawl to 90m eventually, i was hoping it would have crazy sales again this year, but sadly it will not happen...

only 15 mil from now until Wii stops selling? really?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Does anyone else think this topic is ridiculous? 

Of course it will pass 100 million. If a price cut comes next year, then definitely by the end of 2011.

There's also the matter of whether it will pass the PS2 which is a more interesting proposition. I think it will, but only if Nintendo has another hit software like they did with Wii Fit.



It'll break 100 mil, but won't likely beat out the PS2. I can see 125 mil being the max IF they drop the price considerably and keep it on the shelves for a couple of years into the next gen. I don't think this will be the case, though. 110-115 max around by the end of 2013.

A $70 price drop will really help them to get to 100M quicker.

Passing 100 million is pretty much guarenteed at this point. By the end of this holiday Wii should be at least at 80 million. That means it only has to sell 20 million for the rest of its life, and it should have at least one more strong holiday season left after 2010. Also, Zelda, DQX, Last Story, Vitality Sensor, etc have all yet to release, and Nintendo can probably drop the price a couple more times.



Handily. The question is how much further they'll get, as others have said. It depends on if they start working harder to spur sales on their end. 2011 should be better in terms of console-pushing titles in all regions.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

The PS2 is at 138million (according to VG) and still gonna sell a few million more. You really think the Wii can double its current lifetime sales even though its past its peak?

Yup Lol! I honestly think that the Wii will pass the PS2 in total lifetime sales in the end. People are calling it over already but the Holiday's will explode again.

People are reasonable in their predictions about the Wii. Why would it suddenly explode? I mean, it'll have some good software for the holidays, but system pushers? At the end of 06, 07, 08, and '09, there were system movers for the Wii. 2010 looks to not have that.

Golden Eye 007__Disney's Epic Mickey__Sonic Colors__Just Dance 2__UDraw__M.J The Experience__Kirby's Epic Yarn__Remote Plus__Red Wii and Super Mario Collection__Donkey Kong Country Returns__Wii Party

The games listed above will help sell some systems with the major one's being highlighted.

The only system mover is the Red Wii. I can see an increase for DK, but nothing major.

D.K.C.R is set to be the biggest non bundled system mover of the year!(Beating out G.T.5 and Halo Reach)

I highly doubt that.

Not counting any of the Reach or G.T.5 bundles and only counting what was pushed without them...D.K.C.R will push more.

Hang on, you're planning on measuring the effect of a game on hardware without including that game's bundles?

If you want to buy X console for Y game, and Y game comes with a certain bundle for X console, you're going to buy the bundle. You would have to be quite extraordinarily stupid to buy the console and game separately.
