 We have started taking the astonishing Wii sales for granted. Every month that NPD report salesnumber for the system of 600-700 k we think of it as normal (I know I do anyway) but I checked some historic facts that made me realize just how fenomenal the console is doing. Some facts WII vs GC and Wii vs PS2 (NPD):

This month (february) Wii sold 753.000 copies in the US. GC has only managed to tie or beat that number for two months in it´s entire lifetime! Both of which were the month of December with holidaysales.

Dec 2003 GC sold 1, 100, 000 copies.

Dec 2004, 810,000 copies.

Small potato if compared with Wii don´t you agree? I know GC was tiny saleswise but I thought it was an interesting comparison anyway.

The story of Wii is perhaps even more impressive if compared with the alltime champ PS2:

 Quote : Wii has topped 600,000 units in the USA in every calendar month now except for July and August one or more times since it launched. PS2 never topped 600,000 units in a month outside November and December except for in June 2002 when Sony dropped the PS2 price to $200 from $300 : End of quote

Enough about my rant but I think it´s exciting times. We´re clearly witnessing history in the making. A few years back I would never had thought that PS2 would be threatened saleswise by another homeconsole ever (if not by another Sony console) and I´d never thought Nintendo would be back on top. How things change.

 I know the question have been brought up before but what do you think, will Wii eventually outsell PS2?

 

 

It hasn't been overlooked by me. I do the NPD reports on Popzara every month (http://www.popzara.com/pages/952/) & when I'm checking the history of sales I see that Wii is breaking so many of the PS2's records.

I said it here a long time ago. Wii will sell a minimum of 240,000,000 worldwide with a possible maximum of 500,000,000.

I knew it way before the generation started, I know it now.

I'm glad you looked at the history & discovered these results. Nintendo is raising the bar to unbelievable levels & the scary part is we STILL haven't seen nothing yet! The floods have not stopped for this Blue Ocean.

I am predicting wii to capture 120% marketshare by the end of April and sell 2 million next week. Oh and i am also predicting that numbers of wii sold will outnumber the total number of humans in 2015. I am also predicting that the total number of wiis sold will outnumber the total number of ants in this planet in 2030.

It really depends on how long its active. If they pull it out before it reaches 140 million then no it won't. Nintendo likes to make people move on to the new stuff faster.

No, Nintendo likes to support their platforms as long as possible. The GBA was delayed repeatedly because the GBC was selling so well. Nintendo supports their platforms as long as consumers do.

 

 

Consoles are a different beast good sir.

The Wii can be argued to be an entirely different beast also.  We just don't know what will happen with it at all.  I can't speculate here.  Nintendo may go high def before it is all said and done.  The DSi is likely a test run to see what happens next with the Wii.

BladeOfGod, may I ask why you resorted to one of the most ineffective means of responding to another person's argument, reducto-ad-absurdium? Instead of checking the facts and coming up with a valid counter-argument, you instead decided to post what amounts to a schoolyard taunt when you get to the root of the message, and that doesn't seem particularly mature to me. Please explain yourself.

Whoa! I had never witnessed a johnlucas post before.

Your post count is awful low for a site contributor.

Sky Render on 22 March 2009

I see. Well, as I'm sure you can gather from my response, it didn't come off as sarcasm so much as it did goading.

My guess is that are starting to show up this year since alot of developers have had more then one year to develop games.
