I will say It will reach 50 Millions, but I know that's too optimistic. 45 Mil is more realist.

Go buy Metroid OTHER M!

I think 50 million is unrealistic, even for the Wii. I think somewhere between 42-45 million is more within reason.

Pixel Art can be fun.

Why did I say 45 millions at least? Because Wii demand is High.

Go buy Metroid OTHER M!

50m is impossible - they aren't making anywhere near enough units.

I stand by my prediction (made start of this year) - see sig. Its roughly in line with Ninty's internal shipment predictions.

hahaha not a chance in hell!

Why? well why won't the PS3 hit 50 million this year? The same reason the wii won't, its unrealistic.

Ive seen some of your guys signatures, like neos and more users stating the wii will be almost at 50 million by this year's end, I dont understand why you guys beleive this, though what do you think will happen for the wii to reach that numbers since I think its impossible, what do you think that makes it possible?

The price? Increase in demand? Nintendo creating more wii's? What?

Why I expect the wii to end up with as much as 33 million consoles by the end of 2008:

I do not expect the wii to be something that every person in the world wants and it will no longer sell out sometime in mid 08, demand should be met at that point and sales should drop to around 360 levels.

Notice: I can be wrong, Im not a fortune teller than can tell the future like some people that have posted on this forum stating the wii "WILL" sell more than 40 million, meaning they already know what will happen in the future since they can predic it after all.
