for nintendo to get up to 100m wii's sold by december 2011, they have to start selling about 420,000 units weekly

to get up to 100m wii's sold by december 2012, they have to sell about 225,000 units weekly

if wiis hardware sales stay pretty close to constant they will reach 100m sales in about april of 2013

i dont think wii sales will stay constant, they'll continue their decline a bit after a new years sales increase.  i doubt it'll get to 100m

Except sales don't work like that ....... despite it's low 130k/150k's over the last few months, it'll actually average 350k/400k a week sales this year.

By the end of this year it'll be 85 mill. It's not going to drop from 18 mill this year to sub 10 mill next year, not gonna happen, it'll have a price cut next year as well. So 95 mill by end of 2011 is a lock. So that leaves 5 mill, will do it by mid 2012 at the latest.

From 18 million this mllion this year to only 10 million next year would be a pretty big disaster for Nintendo. That's almost 45% drop.

It's going to seem like a disaster next year even if they do 10 mill plus. If it doesn't get a price cut this winter or spring, it'll be doing sub 80k a week next year.

either next yr or the yr after but the Wii will do it, and as for out selling the PS2 which was mentioned in one of the first post. it doesn't seem likely, but it won't matter cuase Nintendo has done well enough.

disaster? no. sign of the times maybe a little saturation yes, but not disasterous.

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.

Ha ha...I was thinking of something completely different Lol...yeah anyway D.K.C.R will push more systems than H.R and G.T.5.

And again, I highly doubt that.

Its your opinion but we will see come November 2010.

Of course it's an opinion, no different than what you've given. We can agree on one thing though, we'll see.

Just curious...were you talking about one in particular or both?(G.T.5 and H.R or just one of them will push more?)

I for one do think The Wii will get there, with 2-3 holiday seasons left and I predict another 2 price cuts, 25-30 millions sold throught out all that should be no problem, dont forget many of those first wiis are dying by now so there' ll be a lot of people buying their second wii soon.

Assuming they don't stop making them, yes.

They aren't even at the $99 price point yet.

It's scary to think how many units a $99 Wii would move.  Might actually have a shot at beating PS2 then.

The Wii could easily pass the PS2 if it keeps getting strong software support and marketing.

PS2 sales dried up the software support is abysmal and Sony gives it no attention. I'm not saying Sony should keep PS2 a priority, I'm just saying PS2 would still be going strong if it was supported.
