With the WiiU coming up next year and Wii sales down massively this year, what do you think it'll end on?

I think 106m - 110m

 



Around the Network

99.9M

On a serious note: 115M



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


~105 Million



                            

It'll be the first 100 million+ selling home console for Nintendo.



 

 

 

probably could manage to get by the 100 million mark.

Still too early too say at this point. Could be anywhere from 105 to 125 million barring Nintendo killing it right after the WiiU release. We'll have a good idea by the end of the fiscal year.



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

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Wii cruise at 5 to 10 million units sold per year for a couple years after the Wii U launches (primarily because Nintendo may drop the price to $100) so I could see it passing 115 Million



I predict 120+... The upcoming crismas, bundles, new color and zelda, will get it close to 95 mill... this year.

In the long run.. i'm pretty sure that nintendo will do a "ps2" and sell wii's for a long time..

That means they will have a cheap and more hi tec, model of both portable and home consols... Good Business.



Depends if you count the Wii U as Wii sales... It plays Wii games, has Wii in the title....



Well, its at 88m now. Still has 3 months left in the year and these are the biggest months for the market, especially Nintendo consoles.

2008 oct-dec = 11m
2009 oct-dec = 12m
2010 oct-dec = 9m

My guess with good bundles we'll see about 7m over oct-dec 2011.

That means Wii will end around 95m for 2011.

WiiU won't launch until holiday 2012.. after another $50 price cut for Wii and the Wii should hit about 13m for 2011 ... so I'd guess Wii will have about another 10m in 2012. Making the new total around 105m.

At this point you have a slowly declining Wii sales as WiiU and other next-gen machines launch. Wii will always remain profitable so there is no reason Nintendo will cut its life short... so it will probably live until 2015 or so.

I'd guess that in those last 3 years it will probably manage another 10m-15m... putting it around 120m lifetime... give or take a little.

Not what I predicted in 2009... but the complete withdrawal of all 3rd party support completely killed its chances of beating the PS2 as home console sales leader in the long run... and at that time I was sure 3rd party support was coming. However, they just didn't want to downgrade systems and PS360/PC remained sustainable for them.
