Forums - Gaming Discussion - Wii selling more like a handheld?!

I'm a UK poster :D



Around the Network

What I mean is this, the handhelds often sell way better than consoles. (the exception was the ps2 and psx which beat the gb and gba respectively and pretty good!)

consoles nowadays , like ps3 and 360, may not get to the high levels of sales that the handhelds, gba and ds, usually get. (psp is selling slightly better than the ps3 at this point in their lives.)

But Wii is apparently breaking that barrier!



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

Wii amazes everyone - even sony and MS executives although they hate to admit it. No one expected that the Wii would be so popular...........

What really surprises me is that the GBA outsold the DS the first few years.
  

 Before the DS Lite launched that is.




Nintendo still doomed?
