The Wii is set to have a huge 2009 compared to 2008. Once Wii Motion Plus hits, I think we'll see some really innovative stuff that we haven't even considered yet. Wii sports resort will be big. Conduit and Madworld have potential. I think we'll see a new Pikmin.
Mostly though, it will be the innovation around WM+ that will drive 2009 for the Wii.
| whatever said: The Wii is set to have a huge 2009 compared to 2008. |
Sales wise (HW), I cannot agree with this. The Wii looks like it is going to beat 25M for 2008, and as I don't see Nintendo upping the production more (it is already shipping 33% more than the Ps2's best year), it will not beat 29M next year. A 3-4M (~ 14%) increase isn't "huge".
Software wise, I kinda doubt it. It will of course beat 2008, but not by a larger amount than what you would expect (ala, in line with the HW increase, and smaller in % than from 07 to 08, which was ~ 50%)
Games wise, sort of. First half should be about equal, and second half a bit better.

The Wii is the only current gen console with a chance at the PS2.

I could see them upping production. Not sure how much though. I expect them to up production by 3 mil max before the end of the gen. I don't see why Wii 2009 can't beat Wii 2008 HW wise. There's still casual games coming like Wii Sports Resort (which will introduce Motion+ which should be pretty big) and for the core gamer there's a bunch of titles to choose from that will cause more buys. Not just Nintendo titles anymore, people get to choose from a ton of third party games. We'll also get games like Disaster in the first half in NA also. There's always room for Nintendo game announcements as well. Doesn't seem that far fetched to me. Wii sales are just gonna get higher, not lower. Probably won't peak until 2010. SW wise it has a chance of beating it...but again we don't know if by a large margin or not. SSBB, MK Wii, AC, etc. were pretty big. We just have to hope Nintendo will announce and release some more titles (like Zelda, Kid Icarus, Pikmin) and have those sell a lot. Third party sales should up too. Games wise, I'd say it comes down to opinion, but I really think 2009 is MUCH better than 2008. Probably due to the amount of RPGs coming though :P |
Wii 09 will beat Wii 08. I believe 10 sales, and possibly 11 sales will also > 08. But, not with a large number (unless Nintendo upps production, something I doubt will happen, as we are facing conservativity WW due to recession, and nobody, I repeat nobody is more conservative than Nintendo. So 29-30M max (12*2.4M=28.8M)
It will beat 08 SW wise too (and 10 will beat 09, and probably 11 beat 10 too), but not by a huge amount (ala, 20-25%, which is what is expected increase in 3rd vs 2nd year).
As for games, it comes down to opinion a lot. It will be a bit better, but might lack the big blockbusters from Nintendo (as in, have fewer, and not as high profile, I'm not Trestres saying there will not be any).

LOL, more like "Hell NO!"

No, it hasn't beaten the PS3 for good...
It's gaining momentum because it is a 200/300 buck console in an economic recession during the holiday season.
And no, it's never going to come near the PS2 in sales.

| Tremble said: Yeah I agree with dolemit, I'd say the 360 is going the way of the psp at best. I mean it's in its 4th year soon and it made only made 28M... Definitly too low to be compared to the ps2. |
Except that the 360 actually sells software -- the primary goal for any console. Where the PSP is a failure on its most important goal, the 360 is an overwhelming success at the same goal.

The GC was 199, did it beat the PS2 at 299? Anyhow I still dont think this gen is over, its going to be a very very very long Generation, I know for certain nintendo isnt going to just stop its cash cow wii, and I know microsoft said they will release the next console " a day" after the ps4.
|
The GC had price drops and still couldn't get near PS2 sales.
PS3 had 2 huge price drops and still don't have sales comparable to Wii sales.
And you think that a new PS3 price drop can match Wii sales after it's own price drop?
Wii is tracking above every console known and still can afford to not drop price, imagine when it happen.
You wish.
What would that make the Wii?

Yeah he admits in being a fanboy but it isnt a ps3 one. Gregory thinks the 360 will reach more than 60 million... laughable... really it is. |
360 will be lucky to reach 50M in it's lifetime.
