Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii passes lifetime Gamecube sales?

Gamecube lifetime sales are usually given at 21 million, although I can't find the specific (worldwide) sales and the Wii surpassed that figure last week.

Of course, we all knew this would happen but this is a significant milestone in Nintendo's history. The first time a console has outsold its predecessor.. and so early into the generation!

Yay!

I thought they were 24 million?




Nintendo still doomed?

Thats the xbox



 

wikipedia says 21.72 million.
wii will reach that by next week



Actually VGChartz says GC ~ 21.5m. And in any case Wii = 20.88m not 21m, so I don't know why you posted this so prematurely.

Soon.

[edit:  the Wikipedia number is based on a Nintendo report ("Consolidated Financial Highlights") so presumably it is sold to retail, not sold to customers.]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Maybe next week...



Hopefully it will do it by next week. NA sales should be up.

The graph at the top of the page apparently does not yet include the amounts sold last week.. which has been 240k in America & Others, which would put the Wii total at over 21 million.

(21 million being the approximate number of CGs sold that I've always heard.. again I don't have the actual figures) 

 



Actually it does include them. Though once Japan sales are in you will probably be right(about passing 21 million), but it'll likely be two more weeks until passing GC.



^Same here. Give it two weeks, just right before SSBB gets release in NA
