... what is so great about that

Impressive for wii, especially when compared to GC, I reckon 30 million sellers by the end of year.

Very good for nintendo.



The Wii is going to take the 5+ million sellers crown within the next two weeks as well.

I would bet on it being closer to 40 than 30 honestly. It hit near 20 in its first year and has plenty of games that will cross the barrier coming out this year. Maybe I am being overly optimistic though.

Seeing as third party support in 2008 is much better than the 2007 one and, along with the bigger install base, I think 30-35 million sellers by the end of 2008 is quite certain.



There's already 3 more that are crawling their way to 1 million sales, and of course we have an assured million seller on the way (Mario Kart Wii). And that's all before the big events where games are announced and other assured million sellers are revealed to have release dates this year.



Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.

But third party games don't sell on the Wii. I'm going to never acknowledge those 9 games when I make this claim.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

 I don't think your being over optimistic... I think it may very well pass 40 million sellers.
