Forums - Sales - Where will Wii Overtake PS2 LTD first?

Demotruk said:

If you think Wii won't sell another 10%, (Australia is a region where we have official PS2 figures, 2 million in 2007 so it does not at all look undertracked), you're crazy. Even with a 50% decline this year (it declined 19% in 2010) it would still make it.

I change my mind after see the lastest numbers from Australia.

That the only place will happen for sure.

Read my previous post.

ioi made a note months ago saying that PS3 was undertracked and like it is a old console he didn't know where these sales came... so he was not making the necessary adjustments until you can properly map the sales.

Never.

And ioi confirmed that PS3 number here are undertracked a lot (5 million or more).

The only hardware to overtake PS2 will be DS.


PS3 is undertracked by 5M?

Wii will top the PS2 in America's first, it will top PS1 in America's in about 3 weeks though.

Nope. Just Aus for sure (and the first... this year)... Americas, UK and France has a big maybe for me.

No, Aus, UK and France. It's not going to stop selling even if we see a Wii 2 in 2012. It'll be closing in on each of those places.



 

We're actually undertracking PS2 pretty significantly in Australia/NZ. Our numbers don't seem to account for NZ at all. Although Wii will probably pass it there some time in 2012.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Australia, followed by France, then UK are certain. America will probably be after that.

Unless it has been declining heavily in Germany, it stands a chance there, as well.

Not gonna happen in any other region, though.

Curse lack of distribution/support!

Some of these regions make me wonder (well, not MEAA, where it's even more lopsided, probably, since PS2's undertracked there) - why on earth does France prefer the Wii over the PS2 significantly more so than Italy? And the UK -- it's actually getting thrashed by both HD consoles there for the moment, but the market there has somehow grown so enormously that it can get beaten for extended periods and still beat the PS2.
