Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will the Wii reach 40 million before the end of the year?

Of course it will, no questions. Actually it would be amazing if they shipped 47 million by the end of this year (its second one). It would match PS2 sells at the end of its third year!

To get to 51.95m shipped by March 31, they have to be at ~45-46m shipped on Dec 31.

That should translate to 40-43m in sell through by the end of 2008

 

How long did it take PS2 to reach that point?

Wii is 10 mounths more or less better than the PS2

You can't compare the worldwide graph for Wii & PS2 fairly.

Wii launched simultaneously in 2006 (Nov 19 to Dec 8 worldwide) while the PS2 chart starts from the Japan launch that predates the western launches by 6 months or so.

You have to take the number of weeks Wii hs in each region,  and compare that to where PS2 was at that point from launch.

Definitely. 42 million is very likely.

The Christmas Shooping weeks are already on, so it has a chance.

I agree early on it might not of been fair, but we are talking over 3 years for PS2, it was in all areas a significant time, and was not supply constrained as the wii currently is in America.  I think the longer supply constrain makes up for the staggered launch of the PS2 so that they are fair enough to compare.



If they can keep stocks full, I would say that statement in threads headline is plausible. I think it will fall somewhere between 41M-42M. Go casuals! Boo HC!



Might even make it by next week let alone by the end of the year
