I thought the doom articles were replaced by the purely subjective "Wii sucks balls" articles, between the Conduit gamepro review and Shia LaBeouf, etc.

the thread is doomed?

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Yea, I'm banking on them going nutso when The Conduit's 1st week sales come in, then the NPD numbers, even though that is only 1 week of sales.

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. " thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

I know you are being funny, but I guarentee you that there will be threads declaring that WSR flopped. Remember that despite countless examples to show how wii games sell, there are those who expect wii games to do 50% of their sales in the first week.

It seems to bounce back and forth between Wii games and Wii console. Based on current data I'll predict that.

1. The release of WSR will lead to a weekly increase of "gimmick" threads of ~10-30% depending on it's success. This in turn should lead to a rise in "M+ should have been there from the start" of around 15-35%.

2. Any news updates concerning Natal/SonyMo will give the "doomed" threads a boost of ~10-20% per week.

3. When Wii Sports Resort, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Fit+, MKWii and NSMB Wii begin to dominate sales charts, "Wii is for casuals" will see an increase similar to PS3 sales when Sony cut's the PS3 price by $100.

Overall, Wii should be up 30-40% YoY.
