I believe gta 4 will surpass 10 million. I think wii fit will aswell, however it'll take wii fit longer to get to that milestone.

Pachter is such an idiot. Listen to what he says, he's predicting only 11 to 12.5 million PS3 LTD worldwide by the end of the year. He's obviously pulling numbers out of his ass while he sits there.

I say both very possible! 16 mil for GTA 4, i think it will definately do... combined ofcourse

Wii Fit will make 10 million next year.

@ FishyJoe

It will be close. GTA is a much more popular franchise than Halo.

I think WiiFit will have a lifetime attach rate of better than 30%. You guys do the math.

lol ,this is a joke isn't it?

This fills me with confidence. If Pachter says it - he is *definitely* wrong, and it will easily top 10m ;)

...

I still think WiiFit will hit 10m THIS YEAR. It will remain selling 30k-50k/week in Japan + Xmas - seeing it hit around 3m by end of '08.

WiiFit will be massive in Europe - my only Q is how much Ninty can produce. It should sell 1m in the opening 2 weeks, and should do 3m also by the end of '08.

In the end, I think the spread of sales will be similar to the Wii install base spread - WiiFit will basically be a sellout up to the end of '08 (will see what happens next year).

For 10m sales end of '08 - take away the 1.5m in Japan (8.5m) - which is still around 200k/week produced/sold. This seems in the realm of probable production targets IMO.

...

Pachter is not only going to be wrong on this one - he will be DEAD wrong.

As for GTA - 16m seems very reasonable for a "non-casual" title like GTA. 11-12m on 360, 5-6m on PS3? Quite possible.

Maybe he means GTA4 could top 16 if it could have a Wii version xD lol
jk
He talks if 10 millions were poor sales for Wii fit
I think it could end with 2-2.5 lifetime on Japan, 2-5 depending the marketing NOA does in America and 3-4 Europe
Also if starts appearing Wii balance board Wii ware games, it support could be going to the roof

 Patcher was talking about sales in 08, I doubt Wii Fit will sell 10 million copies this year.

And remember, Patcher said that GTA4 will not sell 16 million this year.  Joel just said it wrong. 

Is this the 50% of PS3 users that didn't but it only as a Blu-Ray player? No way 50% of PS3 users, maybe 360.
