I reckon Wii will ship around 5.5 - 6m this Q. Meaning it'll be 95- 95.5 lifetime.

7 - 7.5m to go to outship (sell) PS1.

It should do it by the end of Q4 this year, if not sometime over the 6 months after that.

To the guy that said it'll never do it ... rose tinted glasses comes to mind.

It did pretty well. About 2 million less than the best selling console.



Yes.

I'd say you're definitely right as long as it has a couple of decent games and a price drop. But wow, how far Nintendo has fallen in the past year or two...



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I see, but the wii has been on a decline due to the "No game theory"

From first to that (and it's closer to 3m than it's to 2)

Likely to be 5m~ in shipped terms ..

it might just do it with the few games coming out for it and a price drop too 99$ like others have said. DQ 10 will surely make it sell in Japan unless the WiiU version is out at the same time. it will be interesting to see how Nintendo will handle that game.

Wii will be down quite a bit this year, but it shouldn't be enough to stop it from outselling the PS1 by the end of the year. No games are likely to give it a big boost and the Wii U will take away some of its steam, but a $99 price point around the holidays should definitely ensure it getting the 7+ million shipped it needs this year.
