Forums - Nintendo - The race to 40M ...

I'm leaning towards the PSP but it will be close. Both will have reached 40 million at the end of the year.



Around the Network

i think ps3 will reach that mark first, doesn't it diomedes?



I think Wii has higher chance due to demand. The only thing they need is to increase production and it's done.

We should probably see increase sometime March +/-



hmmm---it will be close but i have to say the wii--only b/c of big title comming out soon--you really dont hear abouthte "killer apps" for teh psp as much as you do for teh wii---and theres lots this year



 

Probably PSP, but the Wii will not be left behind by much (Like 3-4 Millions)...

well i looked at the previous years sales, the wii is selling faster but not twice as fast as the psp. i'm going to say psp unless nintendo increases supply and continues to sell out at the higher rate. probably won't happen though so psp first but the wii will be close behind.



I'd want to wait until I see some january sales before trying to make any predictions like this



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

It'll be very close, like Grey I need some data of how well the consoles maintain their momentum



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

last year wii sold slower because they were making less consoles in jan/feb/march than in june/july/august and then less than in nov/dec

this year they start off at 1.8mil/month instead of 1mil/month and should increase it to 2.x mil/month around may/june and to close to 3mil/month around oct/nov



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)
