Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii: Past 80 million by end of 2009

60-65 million tops. I think unless something major happens 80 million is out of the question.

I'm not trying to troll or anything but I don't know of any major releases the Wii has planned for 2009 except for the conduit and wii sports resort.

 

 And that matters because?  You really think that Nintendo needs anything except Wii Sports resort to sell another 30-40 million easy?

Also dude,Wii sold 21 million already this year and will probably sell at least 25 million when the year is over, so saying 65 million tops is trolling or just not knowing basic math, even if they only sell slightly more than this year that'll be around 70 million at minimum by end of 2007.

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

44-45.5m by YO2008 + >30m during 2009 = >=75m total by YO2009. It's a simple fact of numbers, people.

 

Okay one question.

Okay lets say wii ends the year at 45 million. That would be about 25 million in 2008.  What makes you think it can sell 30 million in 2009 with more competition from PS3 and 360 and few big releases?

 

 Simple economics, its called product differentiation, Wii has it, nothing PS3 or 360 can do will stall Wii's momentum

I'll probably will.



they will sell around 24-36 million next year if they continue to sell out of their total shipments... they ratched up production for the holidays, but may bring it down a little to conserve money... it's likely that with the extra push they are making their console less profitable itself... no need to do that... they'll find a balance and that'll be what they run at.



IMO ~ 70 million... but 80 would be a hard one to hit IMO...
