Forums - Sales - EA CEO: We should have bet on the Wii

Translation: We should have bet on Wii, but we didn't and its kind of too late because we've already found our niche with the HD consoles, our bad, oh well, don't worry though, the Wii will get plenty of "Innovative" (gimick) titles.

LOL or: "Damn, making HD games is expensive, we're not really making much of a profit here. We are EA, not a charity!"

Yes, because owners of HD consoles buy more games and the games are more expensive, giving larger profits.

wii sold more software in its first 18 months in NA than any other console had...more than ps2, 360, etc

in fact, it sold as much THIRD PARTY software in its first 18 months as 360 sold TOTAL software in its first 18 months in NA

 

so your statement is just another of the many myths that people like to spew

 



Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07  CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp
