Forums - Sales - Wii vs. N64 and DS vs. GBA

I have another question.... which will happen first:

DS passes PS2
or
Wii passes GBA.

Wii has a little further to go at the moment to get to the GBA ( ~50 million compared to ~40 million) but the GBA isn't a moving target like the PS2.

That, my friend, is a whole different thread.

Definitely the DS. True the PS2 is still selling, but when the DS bottomed out at 45k/week in Japan, it was considered so slow (relatively speaking) that people were crying "market saturation!"

That, my friend, is moving power.

 



@Twroo: It's gonna happen at the same time. A guy is gonna buy both a DS and a Wii to reach the numbers. It's gonna be a lucky guy.

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.

Wow thats a good one.

Honestly I thought they had both been outsold by now. Well Wii = N64 sounds about right. but I thought DS had one.

Well I'll go with DS!

In which case it depends which is put onto the till first (which the sales assistent scans first)

There will be 2 sales assistents scanning on 2 different machines. All in all, it was all premeditated by Nintendo. Reggie has the Crystal Ball.

Still won't be exact (I know I am being pedantic)

I just worked out by the way... Wii current rate of sales (approx 300k per week) equates to 1 Wii every 2 seconds.... and DS is even faster.

 



DS will pass GBA first.
It's a shame that the N64 will be passed so quickly, it was the best console ever.



I think DS will get there first, since the rate is faster, not to mention that the gap isn't that much bigger than the Wii/N64's.
