S.T.A.G.E. said:
The Wii will outsell the PSP by mid 2010. At the rate that its selling it will eventually destroy the PS2's sales LTD.

Hasn't it already outsold the PSP..?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Holy shit! You're right Demotruk! LMAO! The Wii will demolish the PS2's sales.

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

 

 

Really? I think the Wii has one of the worst if not the worst software lineups of all time. But that is just my opinion....i'm still not sure how the console sells to much. More power to Nintendo though for pulling it off.

 

While sales are phenomenal it's library is actually incredibly kack. PS2 had a great lineup of AA/AAA titles, Wii 's library compared to 360 or evne PS3 is lacking. That's why it's even more funny someone would say wii had better games than PS2. The ****** GAMECUBE has a better library than the wii.

The Wii already outsold the ps2 at the same point in it's lifetime, so the Wii will outsell the ps2, easily.

 In your opinion, obviously for many the Wii's library is AAA



 

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)

LOL --  The Wii's library is a superset of the gamecube.  It has full BC with the gamecube.  Tell me, how can the gamecube have a better library than the wii, when the wii includes all gamecube titles in addition to all wii titles???

Not to mention hunreds of titles from NES, SNES, Sega, TurboFrafx, Neo Geo, N64, and others.  It is funny how some people underestimate the library of the wii.  Just because a game is 10 years old doesn't mean it's not fun any longer.



no, 2 reasons: the first is that ps2 still exists and still selling and the second is that I highly doubt that the wii will still exists, what I mean is there might be a wii 2 before it even reaches the ps2.The wii sold let's say 45 million in 2 years and usually a generation is 5 years(45/2=22.5 22.5*5=112.5 million)I predict it will be close but it won't beat the ps2. ( I own a wii and ps3)

 Two reasons your argument is flawed, one, Wii makes profit, so Nintendo has no reason to release a "Wii 2"; secondly, even after the sucessor is released,. the Wii will probably still sell for a few more years, just like in every other generation

Have you ever considered that most of the people currenently buying a PS2 are those who want a wii but can not find one. Once they can get a wii, they will.

If you don't beleive me, find someone who recently bought a PS2.

just because something is making profit doesn't mean that they won't release a wii 2 come on it's business and secondly even if it does sell after, it doesn't change the fact that it won't sell like it is now.
