Its got no chance, the consoles been out 5 years and its sold 57% of the PS2s sales of 150 million. The next one is out in 2012.

 


It still has a chance. If Nintendo keeps the Wii out there for another 5 years and gets the price down to $99, it definitely has a chance. Nintendo is notorious for pulling their console off the market fairly quickly though. After the Wii came out the Gamecube only lasted another year and then that was gone. Mainly because the Wii could play Gamecube games as well. The PS2 is still on the market going into it's 11th year, which is amazing. I have no need to buy one since I still own one of the original PS2's and it still works great. Plus my 60GB PS3 plays all PS2 games.

If Nintendo does release a new Wii 2 next year, I think the original Wii will last maybe 2 more years and then they will put it. So it'll break 100 million, but may not make it to 140 mil. The DS has already surpassed the PS2 anyways.

Nope. Even if we assume that by some weird miracle Wii keeps selling for years and can somehow crawl to the point PS2 is right now it won't help because PS2 is still selling and Wii is on best way to being regularly outshipped by PS2.

I don't see it, but it should easily pass the PS1. Here's how I see it (Wii, PS3, 360)

2011- 98, 63, 67

2012- 107, 75, 76

2013- 114, 80, 80

 

LT- 125, 90, 87

 

And the PS2 will end up anywhere from 155-160mil IMO. People say that the Wii will stop selling straight away, but I don't see it. Past console trends suggest that sales will end up at around 100-120k per week next year for Wii, then 70-80k, then finally around 50k for some time (averaged out with November-December period). The Wii won't stop selling. It may be in trouble now, but the price-cut should help it. It won't reach the PS2, I don't see any home console dooing so for some time, but that doesn't mean the Wii has 'failed'. The Wii will be the victor of this gen, easily, and it will be given the accolade of beating the PS1. At the start of the gen, that's a truly phenominal feat.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

It will in the off chance that Nintendo sells it in china for 100 Chinese dollars but other than that, Can't see it happening... And I think Nintendo would rather try to promote the wiiU in China than the wii anyway

God, I hate those

"HAHA, TOLD YOU SO !" thread resurrections.

On all sides, weather we are dealing with gilgamesh´s "Vita will sell 500 million billion units" the thread about the 50/50 equal marketshare for 3DS and Vita...

Nothing comes out of them aside from "Haha, those people back then knew less than we do now !!!11!"
