Gamecube owner + elderly nursing home gamers ~= 37 million. Sounds about right to me.

/sarcasm

 I'm positive they've used this as a basis for their logic.

 If we listen to the fanboys, the gamecube was a kiddie system (and hence, so is the Wii as it is 2 GCs duct taped together), and since those kids have grown up, there aren't any more kids to buy the Wii. Also include the fact that old people die, so once they have died off there won't be any more old people left to buy them either.

 Sounds reasonable to me!

Nah, PS3 uses the power of 4D to travel back in time and eliminate the Wii before it can claim the market



 

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!!

Say, weren't there charts predicting that the DreamCast will overtake the PS2 and dominate the market? What ever happened to that happening?

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that predictions do not equal fact. Ever. On the off-chance that somebody gets it right, it's an educated guess at best, dumb luck at worst. Off-the-wall predictions like that stopped doing anything but make me laugh some time ago.
