Didn't Nintendo say they're going to stop producing Wiis?

Wii has been selling an average of less than 30,000 the last few months. To reach two million sales at 30,000 a month the Wii needs to be on the market another 67 months. So the Wii will sell more than the PSX guaranteed before the next two years, but it depends if Nintendo stops producing Wiis or not.

I doubt Nintendo has a surplus of two million Wiis lying around.

They only stopped production in Japan and Europe, its not discontinued in America yet.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Depends on how long they keep it around. If they keep NA production going till the end of 2014 than I'd say it's a possibility. Any earlier than that and I'd say no.

it sold 40k last week alone thanks to a little something called holiday boost. with two more holidays, it can surely pass ps

I said that it's guaranteed to pass the PSX in less than two years if they didn't stop producing Wiis, and above me stated they only stopped producing them for Japan. 

Also, the 40,000 sales this week and the additional sales the rest of this year are irregularities.  It's not going to always happen.  The Wii has been selling less than 30,000 a week on average, sometimes even less than 20,000 a week.  I think giving it a 30,000 a week average amounts for anything it happens to sell over 30,000 in two months.

I think Wii can surpass it. Doesn't matter though, doesn't make it Wii any better than PS1, or any other consoles it outsold (Gamecube, Super NES, Dreamcast, Xbox, etc etc etc).

Even though wii had great gems on it (SMG/Xenoblade/etc) and had the most sales by far for nintendo home consoles, The others are better imo. N64+GCN FTW ! SNES as well had my favorite game of all time
