yeah. The wii is selling more faster than the DS and ps2. The DS is on its way to outsell it, So if the DS can do it than so can the wii

     Wii Sports Resort not bundled 7.5 million.  Pretty high but quite distant from the 40+ Wii Sports is credited with.  Wii Fit + 7 million.

I can't add Mario Kart Wii to a list of high quality games.  It's only like an 8.1 at Metacritic.

LOL! Then why mention any of the Wii series' games as system driving sales as on that site weren't they in the 7 range as well? Unreal.

That's what I said in my original post.  So far the Wii's sales haven't primarily been driven by high quality software and games as Wii Sports, etc, are not high quality software or AAA games while Mario Galaxy, etc, can't account for 50 million in sales for the console.

I believe at some point in time high quality games and software will have to drive Wii sales or it will fizzle out in the 80 to 100 million mark and never come anywhere near PS2 sales -- a console whose sales were primarily driven by high quality software. 

I presume your predictions of WSR @ 7.5M and WF+ @ 7M are first year predictions or lifetime japanese sales or something.

Wow, so subjective it ain't even funny. Wii Sports isn't high quality software apparently because the end all be all of metacritic rate it what a 7? Yet it has proven to be thebiggest system seller EVER. I happen to think WS is propably the most revolutionary console game since Super Mario Bros. and will be remembered as such. Wii's sales are tracking above the PS2 for 3 yrs now, hasn't received any price cut or colors yet, none of the things that historically boost sales yet it is going to fizzle out before it passes PS2.  Thing is how many records has Wii broken? It is now pretty much in competition with itself. You can only go around breaking records for so long before you own the record.

     Wii Sports isn't going to be remembered as better than anything other than a 7.6 that managed to gain quite a bit of sales do the real things that were driving the Wii's early faddish success.  These real factors had quite a bit do with the fact that it was cheaper than 360 and PS3 at launch.   Quite a bit of that early success can also be contributed to the scarcity factor.  Due to the fact that it was hard to get the system especially during its first two years and in particular at the holiday season the Wii had heightened demand due to the difficulty of being able to find one in stores and this demand led to interest on the parts of others in the console due to the fact that it was supposed to be hard to find and cheap.  And that was the recipe for the Wii's early success.  It had very little to do with Wii Sports but quite a bit to do with the combination of cheap price and the cabbage patch, tickle me elmo, 360 being hard to find in stores in Christmas '05 so people shelling out thousands of dollars on ebay auctions for them effect.

LOL! We are using terms like "Faddish" to describe the Wii after its been dominating the Market for going on 3 yrs now? Unbelievable. Scarcity was manufactured? So Selling the most consoles in a yearly period EVER isn't a good enough explanation. You are dellusional to think Wii Sports will just be remembered as a "faddish game" It is symbolic of the evolution of interface and bringing motion controls to the forefront. I don't know which fanboy category you fall into whether its 360 or PS3 but do you really think they'd go the Motion Controlled route were it NOT for the Wii? And just curious, what do you think of Natal and The Purple Airline Landing equipment?

Systems don´t sell because of some imaginery demand. Sure Wii sellouts helped to hype the console to even higher levels but the demand was there in the first place because people loved Wii Sports (and later on Wii Fit) and the new way of playing games with motion controllers. It´s time to stop calling Wii a fad, we´ve already seen that not only has Nintendo totally dominated the videogaming sales these last three years now Sony and Microsoft are following with their own versions of motiontechnology. Nintendo are at the forefront in every single way right now.
