Forums - Sales - Will the Wii outsell PS2?

No.

Interesting points noted:

Who are this generation of Wii gamers are they even gamers - Good point.
Wii is early in its cycle hence why it has not good games - It is a last gen console with a waggle stick. Not sure if the argument applies.

The No could easily change to a yes primarily because I have no idea who buys these consoles. The folks I see who have purchased a Wii as first time console owners are just letting them gather dust. That said does it actually matter that they are not playing them everyday because they are still excited enough to get others interested in buying.

lol at the no's.

This has to be the most assured yes in any platforms life. This question is as easy as answering "Will Nintendo ever make another mario game"

Short answer YES.

Long answer. Yes easily by more than 20 mill+

It has to. It has a far greater library of games than the PS2. It is a software beast.

 

 This is where personal opinion comes to play

Wow, I was just called a Wii fanboy.

 

 

Fixed

 

btw, I agree, I very much prefer the Wii's games, even to the whole of the PS2 library

 

@ rubangb - I'd tap that

 

I think you guys are part of that "new demographic" I was talking about, because... I don't think there are many PS2 owners who would agree with you.

 

I agree with Scottie and Jagged, have been a gamer since I could remember (and I can rememeber pretty far back), and own both PS2 and PS3 yet the Wii games this gen are much better then what was on PS2 IMO, but I also feel PS3 has far better games then PS2 and PS1 was better then PS2, but that's another discussion entirely, really PS2 had too many games that felt the same, everyone wanted to copy everyone and be apart of the "what sells" trend on PS2, which was rated M (for immature) games, GTA clones (everything had to be like GTA), and everyone wanted to ruin good series like Jak & Daxter and make it more "dark" and less personality and originallity... Wii this gen has MANY MANY different games and something new involved in each one, there hasn't been a "winning sales" formula that has popped up yet (and I hope there never is) which usually keeps developers either making new ideas or shovleware that doesn't sell...

No it didn't



WRONG!!! Wii lifespan will not be longer than 4 years or so. So Wii won't even outsell a PS1 (101 milion) so what makes you think it could outsell PS2. You all seem to think that PS2 lifespan is over. PS2 still have 2 years to go, while Wii have 3 years to go and for those three years wii will sell 30 - 40 million systems. Talking about software GTA series still outsells any wii game. Looks like you can see the future like every Nintenod fanboy. Wii won the year 2007 and 2008 and it would probably win the year 2009 but wii wil LOSE in 2010 and in 2011 because in next 3 years Blu Ray and HD-TV will dominate.



Are yout stupid? PS2 has sold 145-147 milion systems. Wii has sold 40 milion systems, wo you think wii will sell more than 100 milion for 3 years and PS2 won't sell 1 system
