Forums - Sales - Wii to sell more than PS2 LTD by the end of this gen?

The Wii has a good chance but I don't think it will surpass the ps2 LTD



End of 2016 prediction

PS4:43M-46M

XBONE:28M-33M

This is starting to look doubtfull.
It might happen on specific territories but unlikely it will happen worldwide...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

don't think so. it will eventually need to sell because of high quality games and even though it has had some this gen, they have had little to do with its sales up to this point.

While high quality games exist on the system Mario Galaxy 2, Smash Brothers Brawl, The Legend of Zelda:  Twilight Princess, No More Heroes, Madworld, Okami, Metroid Prime 3, RE4:  Wii Edition, they really haven't had that much to do with the Wii selling 50 million copies.

On the other hand, games like Carnival Games, Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, and Wii Play aren't high quality games but have contributed heavily to the faddish success of the Wii up to this point in time.  Selling in large numbers but mainly to those that probably aren't interested in sequels and will rapidly move on to other things.

 

So, the Wii will need many more games like the first group to have a chance at passing the PS2.  Much like the DS started out with Nintendogs and Brain Training but now has a very respectable library of games.



It will do so, quite easily.



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.

hard to say. it keeps outselling the competition, though.

If Nintendo keep on selling the Wii for as long as Sony have with the PS2 there's no doubt about it.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

That's the thing though, Naum, Wii is selling faster than the PS2 so what it took PS2 to do in 9 Wii can do in 6-7. It won't need as long to sell to reach PS2's numbers. I remember reading from the Source that in PS2's peak Sony shipped 22m? Wii's eclicpsed that twice already and is looking to do it for a third time.

PS2 breaks down much more than the Wii which is why it has sold so many and been repurchased by the same person/family many times over.
The reason I think the Wii will never reach PS2 numbers.



@Txrattlesnake

Care to make any predictions on those sequels that won't sell like WiiFit+ and Wii Sports Resort?

Why not add MKWii sales to your list of "quality" titles and see how that argument stacks up to 360/PS3 and their bestsellers.

MKart>Halo 3, Brawl>COD4, Galaxy>GTA4, Zelda(inc GCN)>GoW

Are you sure they haven't had anything to do with the Wii selling 50M+?



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

i will predict after i see xmas bump, i am not really sure the new wii titles will revive the attention to the wii.
