This current week shows it has the potential, with Japan, it has a huge chance to beat the PS2's highest sales week ever.

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 just had a mild personal dissagreement with Leo-J, who I still respect as a person

 

 

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

After your "fixing" the comments make perfect sense. Well done, have a cookie!

 

 

Yay!

 

@ Groucho - I've got to disagree, I am not part of Nintendo's extended audience, I owned and loved a Gamecube, bought my Wii December '06, and have been gaming since the Sega Master System.

 

Fact is, I prefered the Gamecube's lineup to the PS2's. I would rather play smash bros than GTA, and prefer Mario Kart to GT

Of course its going to beat the PS2, first off it has not yet dropped prices, PS2 had already dropped below the Wii's price at this point, it still has supply issues, at this point PS2 was in ample supply, and its trending well over the PS2 in sales, basically it would take an "act of god" to stop the Wii from easily driving over the PS2 in sales

Definitely.   As long as Nintendo continues to support it with innovative games the system will continue to sell.   Like others have said it hasn't seen a single price drop.  Imagine how many it will sell once it reaches the PS2's price.  Even if a Wii HD comes out the lower priced Wii will sell just like the PS2.

If they keep the momentum, yes. If not, no.



                           

PalmiNio on 22 December 2008

Yes it will

Wii sles will not turn now. If Nintendo get one breath of a down turn the price will be cut and sales jump even more then before.

This is why:
- 2 better first years against 2 much harder competitors then PS2 had, just shows that Wii is catching all types of buyers.

- No price cut where PS2 allready had

- Nintendo will release more addons that will attract more buyers just like Wii Fit and like motion plus will do.

- Nintendo will reshape the Wii just like they have done with DS and when that happens everyone wants to buy the new one.

- Fuck,,,,,,,,,the numbers don't lie.



Predictions for 2009:

360: 39-42 PS3: 31-34 Wii: 67-70

Future projection

Wii will hit 100 million before christmas 2010 (made december 2008)

NDS Family will have sold and shipped more then PS2 at the end of 2009 (made january 2009)

tabsina on 22 December 2008

No price cuts, no console revisions, no alternate colours... over 40 million sold in 2 years

I'd say yes



NeoRatt on 22 December 2008

No, I don't think the Wii will outsell the PS2 WW.

It may break 100 Million WW, but it will not outsell the PS2 WW.
