Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I foresee a lot of Wii's going unsold on ebay.

 

Hmm, are you implying that the Wii has met demand in North America, or do you realize that within 1 week of today, those Wii's will be selling above market value on Ebay once again?

It's impossible for the Wii to meet demand during this holiday season. Impossible. If you can buy a Wii, buy it now, and sell it on ebay during the christmas rush. Period.

Exactly, especially since ToS: DotNW is out ;) I wonder if sales for that game will increase for the rush.

I went on a big adventure today and two stores I visited didn't even have the game out on shelves yet... >_<   All three of the stores I visited had a very limited quantity.

 

Anyways...

Today, I visited 2 Best Buys and a Gamestop.  I drove down to Best Buy down in DE (no tax!) with the intention of buying: A DS, NSMB, Zelda:PH, Call of Duty:WaW, Tales of Symphonia:DoTNW, and a few other gadgets.  At the two Best Buys, I saw MOUNTAINS of Wiis... and I saw four people walk out with one.  I also visited another South Philly Best Buy, same thing...  I never saw that many Wiis available for purchase at one time ever.

Also, I never seen so much shovelware in my life.  I mean, good God... there are Wii games out I never even knew existed!
