Forget about Dragon Quest X?

No, how will that help? At most it will provide a 50k boost.

It's Japan and Dragon Quest. A 50k one-week boost, perhaps, but kicking Wii's near-dead Japan sales back up to something resembling an acceptable level for the latter period of the year. 100 mil is quite close, after all.

i can remember when people were prediciting like 150m, some even 200m for the wii and now it may not even get to 100m.



some people predicted the wii would outsell the entire playstation family put together..

anyhow, it should hit 100M and it may likely surpass the PS one

That was back when we thought developers would support the most sucessful console on the market. Now we know better.



To be honest with you, the Wii will reach 100 million. That is a definitive, it is only a matter of time. The Wii will get a price cut once the Wii U is released. Just like Sony did once PS3 came in for the PS2. In the end, I think 105-110 million Wii hardware sale in its lifetime. The Wii still outpaced Xbox 360 and PS3, and to this day sales of Wii stands at 96 million, and the XBOX 360 67 million and PS3 65 million. The clear winner is Nintendo....



Around the Network

It will be in the same neighborhood as the PS1.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Just because YOU don't want it to reach 100 million, doesn't mean it won't.. As people have mentioned here, Nintendo still has room for another $50 price drop, not to mention there is still DQX, which will boost its sales heavilly in Japan, and let's not forget during the holidays each year, Wii should recieve a huge boost, well over enough to get it over the hump. It might take a couple of years, but to think it will NEVER sell another 5 million, when it has already sold 95 million in only 5 + years is downright foolish with no basis, and to me must only mean it is wishful thinking on the part of HD twin fans, who still can't get over the fact that Nintendo actually came in first this gen.

Excellent post.

Yup. The Wii will pass 100 mil. Once they lower the price, even with new hardware, it will continue to sell. Look at how long the PS2 sold after the release of the PS3. The PS2 is still selling well in some countries where the PS3 has not been released yet, since the price they would sell it for is too much for consumers.



It will easily hit a million. Once it hits $99 it's going to be an easy Christmas gift for many parents. This alone should make it have a pretty decent holiday season.

We also expectd nintendo to put more motion based software but that stopped after New Super Mario Bros Wii was relased. (When did the wii started doing badly again oh yeah 2010)

Anyway lol at the prediction. Are you going to threaten people from buying wii's for this prediction from coming true. Don't worry I 'm pretty sure some people might want to help
