Forums - Sales - When Will Wii Fit pass GTAIV?

TheSource on 29 May 2008

Wii Fit has higher sales than the PS3 version of GTAIV already, and it is closing in on the Xbox 360 version of GTAIV.

GTA IV had a higher debut on both PS3 & 360.

However -

Wii Fit will outsell GTAIV in Japan by 2-3 million at least.

Wii Fit will have stronger legs.

 

I'll have a chart with my projections soon.

I suspect that this is going to be a marathon battle where Wii Fit finally takes the lead (over PS3+XBox 360 GTA4 sales) late in 2009/early 2010

Yeah, I think it will pan out a lot like the SMG/Halo battle... Long and slow.

Most of the people believe, it won't! http://www.vgchartz.com/poll/results.php?pollid=23

You mean just Xbox 360 or both PS3 & Xbox 360?



Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

Clarification-

Are you asking whether Wii Fit will one version of GTA or both versions combined?

Sometime around black Friday :P
So still got a few months to wait !



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Hmm, not sure. I agree with Happy Squirrel that we won't know the answer til much later in this generation.

I modelled it out assuming price cuts for all three systems, Mother's & Father's Day boosts for Wii Fit in 08'/09', longer winter holiday boosts for Wii Fit because Japan's peak sales are in January rather than Nov-Dec, and likely sales for each system...

My take: 220 weeks from Wii Fit's launch in the Americas, it will permanently pass GTAIV worldwide.

I simply extrapolated the GTAIV sales for PS3 & 360 combined and assume it will sell ~300k ish in Japan as well.

All units are sales, worldwide, in thousands.
