Forums - Nintendo Discussion - .....Wii passes GC lifetime sales in Japan...or so it seems.

Somehow i get the feeling that everyone forgot about this little detail. I actually think that it's a very important milestone for Nintendo, what do you guys think? Wii FTW (whetever that means) ?

Total  Wii sales in Japan since launch :            4,065,352

Total Gamecube sales In Japan since launch : 4,024,121

People have mentioned it in the charts pages. In terms of worldwide numbers, it seems that the Wii will surpass GC in 2-3 months. USA will take a while though.

wii will stop selling confirmed. I mean now that everyone in Japan who owned a GC has upgraded to a wii, where to get sales from?

After all, PS2 owners are still waiting to upgrade to PS3, as my friend J-Leo always points out.

......What about all those silly japanese people that don't have time for playing even 10 hour games? Maybe they could lend a hand to future Wii sales ;).

The Wii has the curve of the winners, just between the PS2 and the DS :

Though it will unlikely have the same christmas as the DS, which sold 300k, 400k, 600k and 400k on the four weeks of it's second christmas.



It also surpassed GameCube in "others"
