Sorry but I don't see it happening. Yes the Wii will have great sales but less than last year. Last year's BF sales were lower than this year's because (as far as I remember) there were less good deals available, the good deals came later. Also last holiday season was the first season Wii was available with no shortages. This time it's different, and there's Kinect around as a hot item to get. So WIi will sell great, but no records will be broken this time around (imo). If your prediction comes true, I cetainly won't shed any tears, I AM rooting for the Wii, just being (imo) more realistic.

I know it's unlikely, but I also know that everybody on here loves lowballing the Wii and that my chances of getting this right, whilst extremely low, are still higher than most here think. Therefore, in the unlikely case that I get it right, I shall be viewed as god, :D.
Anyway, I thought as much regarding the BF deals. That's why I've put Americas sales slightly below what they were last year. However, I've kept the number mostly even because I find it very likely that DKCR and DEM will be able to replicate the effect that NSMB produced, at least for the holidays. Also, with the Red Wii bundle, I believe that its effects will be much larger during the holidays since it makes the Wii an interesting thing to buy again and because the Wii has an established brand name and well known games as compared to Kinect, the hardware sales boosting effect of which I believe people are vastly overestimating, Wii should still do really well.
Besides even in a worst case scenario, I simply can't see Wii not breaking records in EMEAA. And with DKCR and the big ad campaign, Wii should do alright in Japan, too, however down from last year.
