^em the topic is different

Whoa, I never realised it was so close. Well 2.6M vs 4.1M isn't that close, but they'll be in the same league very soon at this rate.

Currently I believe a newer and better, yet similar in target audience and approach, game will be released during the next six months and largely replace Wii Sports as the game everyone buys when they get a Wii. Of course I might be wrong, seeing how both versions of Brain Training are still selling truly insane amounts every week.



Yes, I agree. If quality games start to be released and the power of the Wii is truly realised then perhaps Wii Sports will fall short of that 4 million target.

wii sports should be around 3.5 mil at the end of the year and then it should pass it at the end of 09 possibly 2010

I think it will make it, but it will be close. It really depends on when they put out Wii Sports 2. The sooner that comes, the less likely it is that Wii Sports will get there.




^yeah but what about brain training even though its sequel came out its still selling well



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

I think Wii Sports will pass it.
