Yes, BY ALOT!!!!! In a thread long ago, I predicted 300-500M SALES!!!!! Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID!!!

 Stop trying to be like JL.  Really...500 million? 500,000,000? Thats 100,000,000 every year for 5 years (The usual lifespan of a console).  Nintendo would have to increase production to 8.3 million a month AND still be selling out 5 years from now.  Honestly, get real.  Clarification.  It's a beautiful thing.

We've discussed this ad nauseum. I wish a mod would lock this bad boy.

I've never seen this thread before.

Of course it will.

It depends. If the sales continue to hold out strong then yes. If sales start to die down after the release of the popular games then no.

I think that it will b.c the current supply and demand. Once the demand dies down the supply will go up attracting former customers to go buy a wii!!

Of course, in 3-4 years

Maybe, who is to say. At it's current rate it'll double the PS2 sales. That's all we have to go on, and it's not enough.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
