Forums - Sales - wii market share... so what?

Prestine at it again?
claiming the Wii will never be good enough

anyway *shrugs*

pathetic person

how can you assume it's not a primary console..it actually IS primary most of the time..

and it will be more easily after a few years..after 3rd parties actually start to try

oh, well, guess only Prestine is right, because Prestine always knows what gamers like or do not like

I'm not sure Wii will ever reach PS2 market share, it does not need to to be honest it will surely have 60% by the time this generation ends, and will outsell PS2's lifetime sales because it's such a phenomena.

Even if at some stage in lets say 2-3 years sales will start slowing down Nintedo can always: Cut the Price (199$ really did push a lot of PS2's , that could happen to wii as well), add colours, start bundling big software or even try some sort of redesign (very Slim Wii ?) or add a hard drive.

If the DS could do it, why not the Wii? its really obvious unless we're comparing the PS2 here which is different. if Ninty will live the Wii for longer then the wii cqan do what the PS2 can do in term of sales...

35 mln.... I'm not getting the validity of that post to Wii's market share... ok I guess it's time for this site to start tracking 3D0 sales again.

In any relative measurement surely you will consider that bit of information only relevant to the Xbox 360 and that the PS3 and Wii aren't subject to that 35 million number as they weren't released yet but then again that brings into perspective all the arguements using the first year of the Xbox360 as a talking point.

Well that's cool, good info none the less.

I think he meant this is terms of how the Wii market share is actually less that it's currently quoted as, if you include the 35 million PS2s. The flipside being the Wii may very well do the same thing when the next-gen consoles are released i.e. continue selling.



The PS2 ended with some 70% marketshare, right? Its two competitors sold 45 million when added together.

The PS360 will sell at least 110 million added together. That would require the Wii to sell over 256 million copies which, frankly, is impossible.

That market share only mean one thing: THE WII IS KICKING THE 360 AND PS3 LITTLE ASSES IN SALES AND SALES ALONE!, that´s all that means

 

 Fixed

edit: Until the ps2 is discontinued, it will only continue to gain market share for past gen.

That's a good point, Leo-J. The PS2 isn't standing still, it's a moving target. The Wii will almost certainly beat the PS2 in LT sales, but it won't get the PS2's insane market share.

LOL he dont have a point, the Wii can make sales same as the PS2 with half the time.

refixed ;) (if you had just left it at "IN SALES" I wouldn't have done anything)

Really man do you have that much hate for the Wii?  It saddens me you'll never know the fun times :(  how about enjoy games no matter the console?  K?  Then you won't miss out great games like SSBB, Gears, LBP, L4D (PC), and well every other great game out this gen... =D

Nintendo has made some of the best games this gen, for you to edit things like that makes you sound like a real bitter person...  What has Nintendo done to you?  Raped your mother?  Killed your father?  Blackmailed you with threatening posting those nudes online for your friends to see?
