After 16 months how many million sellers did 360 have. A comparison would be interesting.

I do remember that before the end of 2007, the 360 had about 17 million sellers. So the Wii is doing about as well. 



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

what is more amazing is that 11 of the 22 million sellers are 2 million sellers. And the Wii already has 7 games with more than 3 million.

I believe GHIII, WiiFit, Mario Kart will make 3 million in time, also SPM, and WW(once others is added in) make 3 million someday. The Wii million seller list is very top heavy.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

RE4Wii is already at 1.7 million, which is in less than a year! It will definitely reach 2 million and has a shot at becoming the best sold RE4.

This year there are 2 Guitar Hero games coming, which should do over a million, especially since a lot of people have the guitars.
Rockband has a shot at a million. PES 09 should sell over a million. I can see Fatal Frame IV, Tales of Symphonia 2, Boom Blox, Lego Indiana Jones and Deca Sports sell over a million.
And of course the big Nintendo games will all sell over a million.
So yeah, 35 end of year is very well possible.

Great for ninty ... it's nice to see the console getting support from 3rd parties so this only fortifies the hope that we'll see better and greater support from third parties :D

Great software sales for the Wii. Though Wii Sports and Wii Play need to had asterixes after them because one is a pack in games most places and the other comes with a free remote. Third party games like Guitar Hero 3, Rayman, and Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition have sold very well. A few of those million sellers are just crap games like Mario Party 8 (which has actually outsold Twilight Princess world wide sadly) and Carnival Games, but most are much better than those.

I'd say at least 32 million sellers by years end is a safe bet. Possibly as high as 40.

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

 Only 8 more on the entire year? I would say it (the Wii) has more (million sellers) than the GC by the the end of 2008.



Predictions for December 31st 2008:
Wii 38,000,000
DS 84,500,000
PS3 17,000,000
PSP 41,000,000
X360 23,000,000

Very impressive, and Id say at least 35 at the end of the year.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
