Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will the Wii hit the 70 million console mark WW by the end of 2009?

Arius Dion on 16 June 2009

I'd say close to 70 by years end. But by the end of the fiscals over 70 close to 75m.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

At the beginning of the year I thought it would make it to 73-74 million by the end of 2009. Since then, the Wii numbers have had massive adjustments. Now I think that the Wii should end up right around 69 million by the end of the year.

we'll be better able to tell after a few more games are released this summer, but as of right now I would have to say no

60 million is a more reasonable guess. Right now it is selling about 200-250k. Even with the Holiday boost, game boost, on average if it gets 300k average than in 24 weeks, till the end of the year, it will sell 24*300000=10.2 million. Right now it is at 50 mill so around 61-63M.

nah but I think it will sell better ending this year than last due to having some better software and there is no dry spell of games really this year unlike last years crawling in the desert.

Right now, the Wii is down about 1 million compared to the same time last year.  Considering the strength of the software line up in the second half of the year, I think that the Wii will come close to last years performance.  Since the Wii started the year at around 44 million, I think it should get to around 69 million (44+25=69) by the end of the year.  So I guess what I am saying is that you underestimate the holiday boost.

I miss January and February, back when the wii sold like 350-400K a week. The days when in america alone it did over 200k.

It really depends on how long this slump lasts. If the wii is able to recover now then 70 million is possible though still a longshot. If it isn't able to recover from this slump and if the big software isn't able to drive sales, then the wii could be looking at low to mid 60's.
