@Tyrannical: Stop trolling.
Why didn't you mention Wii Sports, Wii Play and Wii Fit, which are targeted to mature audiences? Besides, out of the games you mentioned, with the most propability atleast Carnival Games appeals to the same demographic.
What you meaning is, that the demographic grow out of Wii after their kids have turned 12 or 13. That sounds more plausible.

 

 Yes, I am prediciting a large chunk of the demographic buying the "kiddy" games I listed will move on from the Wii once they hit 12 or 13. Girls might stick with it a few more years.

Because that's not the demographic I'm talking about. I'm talking about the demographic those kiddy games are aimed at.

The 'kiddy' insult is soooo last gen.  It's 'casual' now.  Get with the program.

The Wii is not going to continue selling over 20 million year after year, eventually it's going to peak.

But I do expect the Wii to sell about 160 million though, definitely won't get 70% of the market share.

every generation is getting larger in terms of sales so it's unknown how many it will sell by the end of this gen but I sdo think it'll sell more than the ps2 when all said and done.

I reckon next year Ninty are gonna ramp up production again and bring out or announce some massive games, including their big hitters (first true Wii Zelda anyone?) so who knows where demand stops?

200M+ though - i dont think so, I think we'll see a Wii2 with HD, HDD better motion controls, full backwards compatibility before then.

@RED: I'm surprised people haven't realized this yet. It's unknown how large this gen will be. Right now the Wii is tracking to sale more then another pretty good console in the PS2. I admit over 200 milli maybe high, close too it is not probable.

 

@BOLD: They are already looking to upgrade the motion controls in the Wii remote, NOT including the additon of Wii M+.

The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

Also too the thought that the Wii won't grown with it's users, and have more mature games tells me that some haven't paid attention to the Blue Ocean Strategy. >_>

@OP
I really do not think the Wii will see sales of 40 million a year on average. That would mean in it's peak year the wii would do 50-60 million. That's a million units per week, worldwide. Not going to happen.

150 million by the end of the generation is possible. 200 million by the end of 2012 is just fantasy figures.
