Forums - Sales - Does anyone still believe Wii can outsell PS2?

Wii should have outsold PS2, but obviously it has no chance now. That's what happens when you only have 1 audience expanding game in 3 years. At least if you have no third party momentum.

Nope, it won't have the massive backend ps2 had.

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

no console ever will atlease for sometime.

Wii had the chops to pull it off but i expect Wii to only have 2-3 yrs of life left cause of Wii2.



It would need a miracle.

It's kind of unfair to criticize those who thought it would, though. It's like making fun of those who thought the PS3 would top 200m before this generation started - it seemed like the most likely scenario at the time and anybody who didn't believe it would was very likely to be a hater.

Aren't the wii sales already dead. Wii 2 would make it worse than PSP sales at the moment. Wow who would have thought this 3 years ago when Wii was dominating

Where is John Lucas! I remember he predicted MGS 4 would be cancelled like 2 months before release because the PS3 and 360 would be utterly destroyed by the Wii

But no, the PS2s sales are remarkable and it is still going!



It would have if the industry wanted it to, but now, no.

It will pass the PS1 though easily.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Not unless they continue to sell it. Which I doubt they will. Sony will pass the Wii up in sales with the PS3. I would bet Sony keeps selling PS3s well after the PS4 launches just like they have done in the past.



Nope. Not gonna happen, it's still quite a long ways behind the PS2.
