When Wii Sport RESORT is launched, WII WILL SELL OUT FOR THE REST OF 2009. =)))

The HD boys will SELL their consoles. =)))

And then wait for ZELDA WII, SMG 2, PIKMIN 3, MH3, DQX, SW3, WIIFIT 2, OVERLORD, THE CONDUIT, MADWORLD, TALES OF TEN, ARC RISE FANTASIA, LITTLE KINGS STORY, KIZUNA, MURAMASA, NMH2, CURSED MOUNTAIN and MORE and PRICECUT, NEW COLORS AND BUNDLE. =))

Who can resist that? Wii will sell more than HD consoles and PS2 COMBINED. =))))))))

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

It's MADNESS already. Wonder what will happen when they release a new Wi-iteration(new colors, 2gb flash... just nothing that would spoil current development. Similliar from DS to DSL).



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

So I guess a price drop in Japan doesn't really matter if sales everywhere else are picking up the slack plus more.

 

 

Problem is that Nintendo would be making more money if they were selling more in Japan rather than outside of japan due to the yen..

Yea, the yen is still pretty high. The dollar almost came back to 100 but now it is down to 95 or so. MH3 should solve Japanese drought whenever it comes out. A price cut there couldn't hurt but they probably should wait till MH3 craze goes away.

Note: Wii has been adjusted down massively, but the adjustments not only affected this year, they went back affecting last year as well. There has been a 600k~ downwards adjustment this week for the Wii, that affected both 2008 and 2009 data.

Good job with this thread, trestres - keeping track of YoY sales.  Keep it up.



trestres on 09 April 2009

Thanks, but I'm pissed, that adjustment spoiled the prediction I have in my sig lol. It went below 300k in October 2008 thanks to an adjustment made today o.O

Wii is up 846,551 from 2008!

Note: There has been yet another massive downwards adjustment, of about 300k. Looks like VGChartz massively overtracked the Wii this year, and now numbers aren't looking that impressive. With games like Brawl, Wii Fit and MKWii released around this time last year, and with no big games until Wii Sports Resort and with Japan trending so badly, we could see this huge YoY lead go down to nothing in the next months.
