Life span?

Oh yes...the last bastion of hope for the HD console apologists.

 Lol, you're talking to a PC gamer who has none of the current gen consoles and owns GC, N64, PS and PS2.

Before launch, how many people thought the Wii would not pass 25 million for this entire generation? There were a lot of doubters out there.

I forget the research firm but one of the predictions was 13 million lifetime sales.

Congratulations for Nintendo in creating the fastest selling console to date, no wonder sales will reach a couple more million ;)

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.

When FFXIII comes out Wii sales will drop to 0 within a week!

I'm willing to put a bet on that.

actually no name after MGSIV it's going to be FFXIII of that I'm willing to bet on.

Jeebus how can the top selling console in the world be such an eternal underdog in the AVID GAMER community.

Recently some japanese devs came about saying Wii could mean another Atari crash, I'm looking at it from the other side of the river and all I see is PC = PS360 and Wii = SNES.
Meh oh well,



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

What if Nintendo just keeps up this ridiculous supply and it passes 360 in the US by the end of May? We have no idea what Nintendo's doing with supply right now. They're totally bonkers.

There was a time when people doubted the Wii would ever catch up to the 360 in North America. Now it's just around the corner. Also I still think the Wii will hit 30 million before the 360 hits 20 million. Anytakers? I'll take a one month ban bet with anyone.

I just did a quick calculation and that's actually going to be really close.

 

Damn that will be close, the Wii will have just topped 30 million shipped by the end of next quarter I believe (30.5 max but sales ~1 million lower than shipments) So I would guess the week ending 12th/13th July

while the 360 with GTAIV should manage a higher weekly average than it has been having, which (not inc. last Americas sales) has been just over 140k for the last 10 weeks, so if it averages 160k for the next 10 weeks it should make it the week before the Wii makes 30mil.

My bet would be the 360 will make 20 million before Wii makes 30 million.

but considering it was only 10/11 months before that the two consoles were equal.
