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

Conegamer on 11 February 2011

Probably in:

  1. Australia
  2. France
  3. UK
  4. America
  5. Germany
It will likely never happen in:
  1. MEAA
  2. Rest OF Europe
  3. Japan
  4. Scandinavia
  5. Iberia
All the others are in the air and will likely be close, but, overall, the Wii will likely stall out at around 135mil due to poor performances in Japan and MEAA (relatively speaking). But for a d00med console that's not bad
I think it'll be interesting to look back at these sales in the next 4 years and see how it copes with the laumch of the Wii2. But I reckon Australia first


 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

US
15 million to go
9 million in 2010 but donw in 2011 (PS2 2 million in 2010)

So near 2.5 years to catch... but Wii is down and Wii 2 will come first... so no.

UK
2.2 million to go
1.2 million in 2010 but down in 2011 (PS2 60k in 2010)

So near 2.5 years to catch... but Wii is down and Wii 2 will come first... so no.

France
1.2 million to go
900k in 2010  but down in 2011 (PS2 30k in 2010)

Less than 2 years to catch... so maybe (depends 2011 sales).

Aus
200k to go
500k in 2010 but down in 2011 (PS2 30k in 2010)

That the only contrie with real possibility to happen... and will happen this year.


Are you kidding me?

i dont think the wii will be around in 2015. the wii will likely get discontinued in 2013-2014.

lol.  Wii has always sold ahead of PS2 in the US, launch aligned it's ahead of PS2 in sales by over a year's worth of PS2 sales.  Wii outselling PS2 in the US is a matter of when, not if.... and when is probably before the end of 2012.

Wii sold 7 million more than PS2 last year in Americas and this year it was DOWN about 30%.

Even if it could sell like last year then more than 2 years is necessary to surpass PS2.

So what make you believe "probably before the end of 2012"?

That could happen in 2013 or 2014... but if Wii 2 annuncied before that I guee not happen.

ethomaz tries to butcher yet another thread.

OT: Americas, UK and France for sure.


Pretty much, it look like someone went into damage control, when the question was a simple which region will it get to first. Person acted like it was about the whole world. 

Well I would say North America, instead of Americas, and Australia.

Wii 2 will impact Wii sales, but they won't stop them entirely.  Look how NES sold after SNES, SNES after N64 or GBA sold after DS... hell, after Wii 2 we may actually see that fabled Wii redesign going by Nintendo's past record (NES and SNES both got their redesigns after their successors hit shelves).
