Forums - Sales Discussion - The Trend is about to be Reversed - Officially

In the next two weeks, Wii will likely pass 21.6 million units sold to gamers - pushing it past Gamecube lifetime shipments in about 14 months even though Gamecube has been out for 75 months (61 months longer than Wii).

That means at the very least, Nintendo's console sales will go...NES>SNES>N64>Wii>GC.  By the end of the year, it will probably end up like this:  NES>SNES>Wii>N64>GC.  Early in 2009 it should like this NES>Wii>SNES>N64>GC.  Sometime before the 20th anniversary of the Genesis launch (November 2009) the mighty NES will finally be dethroned as Nintendo's top seller.

Sweet, I'm glad to see it, the sellouts won't stop anytime soon, I had about 20 people today come in the store asking for Wii's and it's different people everyday it seems, and 20 people is about average so multiply 20 times the days I've been at work which I don't know at the moment, and keep in mind this is a smaller city, so yeah, I don't see any reason it wouldn't sell more then the NES.

Ok, that was gross, but really, this was my wet dream and now it has come true. Maybe Karma do exist.

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)

N64 was 32.9 million, that's still a very good amount, quite respectable, Wii is about to out do it in much less time which is crazy.
