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.

 

 They'll release a "Wii 2" when they need to, and not sooner, right now they don't need to, they probably won't need to for at least 3-5 years, only once another company comes out with a Machine that can compete with the Wii at a similar price point

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I don’t get why people are arguing with the guys not agreeing that the Wii will out sell the PS2. I mean these guys are the same guys who said that the Wii is a fad or that it was a gimmick. And these are the same people that don’t see the great games on the Wii, they only see the shovel wear games. They are also the same guys who say Nintendo is for kids but started giggling like shool girls when LBP was announced for PS3.

These are the guys that want to break up the DS models but not the PS2 or the PSP just so they can beat Nintendo. Don’t you see they are trapped in a corner and do not know how get out. They can’t accept that Nintendo crushed them with a far weaker system so let them say what they want because you can’t convince someone who does not want to be convinced even if they show you that they want to be convinced.

 140 is the low, low end of the range, 300 million is the high end

 Hearing that from someone who says it will sell at least 280M (105 + 140 + 50) is kind of odd...

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Of course it will. Wii is a monster desguised as a console. Soon it will start to control our minds!!!

 I never said that it would sell at least 280 million, because one, PS3 will never reach 50 million, and two, PS2 will never reach 140 million, I said that it will sell around 280 million

also my playstation consoles estimates

PS1: 102.49 million

PS2 130-135 million

PS3 35-40 million
