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.

Iwata stated that they have no plans for wii sports 2

they will make wii music, wii fit, wii motor sports, wii etc, but not wii sports 2

they'll likely do mario tennis, mario golf, mario bowling, mario baseball, mario boxing sometime this generation, but not wii sports 2

Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07 CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp

The attach rate of Wii Sports is constantly going down when each new succuessive Wii Sports-type game comes out.

It'll definately be close, but it might not have the gas to get there. IMO, I tend to think a Wii Sports 2 will be released very close to when it his the 3.5m mark (give or take), and will severely lower Wii Sport's sales, to prevent it from getting that mark.

However, Wii Sports, even if it beats DQ7, will never, ever reach anywhere close to DQ7's LTD revenue - the majority of those 4 million copies were sold at a much higher price than Wii Sports, a budget game.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
