personally, I think Wii is selling more like an MP3 player.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878

Like a handheld? What is that supposed to mean. Seriously explain further. I have no idea what your talking about.

 Yes you can: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=All&cons2=DS&reg2=All&cons3=PSP&reg3=All&weeks=100

 

Wii is selling faster according to that view.

Both cumulative and on a weeklybasis Wii is higher than DS

And it seems to outpacing the GBA as well 



 

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)

I think wii is marketed more like the ds then like the ps3 or 360. Much like the ds is marketed to the casual/non gamer and psp is for the hardcore crowd, the wii seperates itself from the 360/ps3. Nothing wrong with that though.



Isn't this good - it means the Wii is selling very quickly!
