This will be the first thing that the Wii passing the PS2 in, the Wii like the DS tends to sell come games VERY well. I do not see the Wii ever catching the PS2 in the 1 million seller group or the 2 million sellers group.

Right now the Wii has -

1. WiiSports (complain about Bundling if you want, it has 3.4 million alone in Japan where it is not)
2. WiiPlay
3. WiiFit
4. MKWii
5. SSBB
6. SMG
7. M&S
8. Zelda: TP
9. Mario Party 8

The only 2 titles now release with a VERY good shot of reaching 5 million is

1. WiiMusic (almost a sure thing)
2. Animal Crossing- has a very good Chance

Ok so that would put us at 11, 1 short.

WiiSports resorts is a sure 5 million seller (prolly a sure 10 million seller with WiiMotion+ bundled)

So there we have it, that should equal the PS2, possibly by this time next year.

Here is a list of game with a chance, not necesarily a good one, some are not annoucnce but we know they are coming.

1. GH:III (needs like 1.2 million... not completly impossible... GH2 sold over 500k on the 360 in 08... who knows?)
2. GH: WT tracking ahead of 3 so far, I'd give it 25% chance
3. Zelda: Wii (TP made it, and this one will be launching on a massive userbase with lot of hype 90% chance)
4. SMG 2 (basically for sure it will make 5 mil)
5. Mario Party 9 (might not do as well as 8, but 5 mil is not a reach... 60% chance)
6. BBA: Wii  (25% chance, it does just keep on selling...)
7. the conduit (5% chance.... but that is a chance right!! lol... only way this happens is if it REALLY catches on)
8. DQ10 (3.5 million or so in Japan is a lock, Nintendo is going to market it to the west fot SE, if they suceed. 5 mil for sure)
9. Link's Crossbow Training (it is bundled, well see. If FPS games catch on it will move a bit better)
10. Carnivore Games (lol, I meant to do that, 2.2 mil away, I hope not, but 50/50 chance...)
11. KH3 (the PS2 one sold 5 mil, and Wii + Disney + Actual Quality = $$$$$)
12.  12-15 leaving room for future unancounce Wii series games.... lol

OKAY! You get the idea, even if 1/3 of these titles make it the Wii is bound to smash this PS2 record to bits.

Just for reference here is the PS2 5 million seller (by VGC data of course)

1. GTA:SA
2. GTA:VC
3. GTA3
4. GT3
5. GT4
6. FFX
7. KH
8. NFS: Underground
9. NFS: Underground 2
10. FFXII
11. FFX-2
12. MGS2

to be fair, crash: wrath of cortex did sell 4.97... lol....

Dang.

I can't help but feel that a lack of third-party effort is to thank for all these 5mils. Nintendo stands as the only publisher investing heavily in their own platform, and with relatively little competition, Nintendo cleans up and its games sell huge.

There is something about this that is simultaneously so stupid and yet so brilliant that it is flooring me to consider it.

Well I would give sega kudos for jumping on the Wii (no pun intended)

wheres the Ps2 5x platinum games?

 I was too lazy.. I'll add em now...

consider it not

it would be one thing if it was just the wii but look at the top selling games..

notice something?

nintendo has the top ten spots and the mojority of the top 100( i think? i should go check again).

nintendos games have always sold well, especially in light of third parties. this is the primary reason why third parties have been so reluctnat to creat games for nintendo consoles

Paperdiego, 3rd parties act like pussies that's all. They need to grow the hell up and except that there's a better game developin company.

OT: AWESOME WII

Great thread bigjon.

I think it is innevitable I wonder which title will send it over the top.

take away PS2 games that start with GT or FF and you are left with just 4 games...

I dont wanna hear anyone talk about the Wii diversity.
