Yes Wii will outsell PS2. I cant see it not. It's killing PS2 weekly sales worldwide at same time in lifecycle.

Its like this.

Lord of the Rings made fantasy films popular. Not every JRR tolkien or fantasy buff liked those films BUT it made it possible for Narnia fans to watch Narnia without looking like the super duper dweeb they would of before. So it made them less dweebish and it made it more socially acceptable.

The Wii is going after the soccer mom and female crowd as did the DS. It doesn't even have to be bought by this crowd it just has to be so that they enjoy playing the Wii or DS. Therefgore it introduces them to console gaming so when you meet a girl in a bar or go over to a party video games become more acceptable to social gatherings because everyone enjoys them at some level instead of becoming isolating and exposing geekiness. Sony portrayed games edgy and gave it a cool image which allowed some people to enjoy games without a label. Nintendo is making them acceptable and allowing others into the cliche.

 Didn't the Wii already make Capcom and Ubisoft rich as hell and actually really hurt EA's bottom line when they threw all their devteams at the PS360 around launch?  EA and everybody else is shifting focus to Wii fast to make back the money they LOST on HD consoles.

i don't think so because there is a competition behind,the ps3 and 360

yes, there is competition
but Wii is able to reach casual (Wiisport) and very casual (Wiifit)

it has an unlimited potential and since it is expanding the market (from gamers/casuals to EVERYBODY) it is possible for PS360Wii to survive together.
Overall, in term of WW hardware sales Wii could be at +150M ...
(+little point : it has total control on Japan)

The scary thing is, i dont think the wii has reached its peak yet. When big publishers start releasing their big games on the wii, watch out.

if they produced more Wiis so that it won't sell out all the time, maybe they would.

The PS3 is going to beat the ps2 and the Wii. The ps3 has stronger legs long term - the Wii is doing amazingly, though too much hot air runs out fast. There will be a point when people want more. Can Nintendo offer more? - they have most of their big guns out. What's after Wii Fit? If they make more peripherals; it's only going to cheapen the Wii and make it look kiddy.

I think the supply issue has made an interest for people as they wanna know what it is like. Casuals don't play games all the time - soccer mums don't play all the time and old people don't play all the time - that goes for all consoles.

The ps3 and 360 offer more in multimedia and connectivity. Gaming is important, but the integration of other media's blends in well and is slowly becoming the new way of technology - not only for consoles but other media devices i.e. mobile, hd players, tv, media players etc as they offer internet,firmware updates,online shopping, gps.

So the appeal for just gaming is slowly slipping away. We all want standards i.e. chat, video chat, music, picture slides, achievement charts, online competition etc We as gamers are accustomed to the new standards that gaming consoles have become.

So my point is. Long term what does the Wii offer to cater for the growing majority that would like the now standards of gaming and the glimpse of the future tech? The Wii is making strides in this gen - but people become apathetic using gimmicks (imo) like the Wii controller and wii fit - even the sixaxis (which I don't care much about). Most people like to pick up and play and get on with their day. This is all my view point - but I can't see how the Wii can last more than 5 more years max. If it can then surely it can beat the ps2 - and it should as it is the newer tech. but let's see... the 360 could win :P not!!!!

 i agree

Why don't ppl think it has a chance to pass the PS2? It's selling faster and demand is greater.  

Who exactly has lost money on the Wii?

Almost every third-party financial report has mentioned increased profits due to Wii sales, and those who don't make Wii games have lower profits or even losses due to high costs and lower than expected sales of HD games/systems.
