You guessing that the Wii comes in at about 17-18 million this year, Slimebeast?


No. Actually it will come very very close to 20 million.

But if it's 19.9 million I win.

 

@Arius,

here, stipulations. Copy and stuff to your home page:

 


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.

Let's give ioi two weeks of time for possible early adjustments before we count the 2009 sales? - so the VGC data on Wii 2009 sales at around 15th Jan 2010 decides our bet.

(note that the sales in the week named 'week ending 3d Jan 2009' is not counted in our bet, but the next week "ending 10th Jan 2009" is - that's the first week of sales in 2009. The last week in our bet is 'week ending 4th Jan 2010' - which makes it 52 weeks as usually defined a year of sales here on VGC).

You're on.

Cool. Until then, make sure that you become a famous poster. And make a sig already that I'll get to delete and replace.

I think NSMB Wii, the black wii in the states and europe and Wii Fit plus will get them well over that mark



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Just one note on the Bet, according to Trestres epic wii thread, the Wii is about 2.5 million behind last year, Probably more.
Now, the only thing that will help is the fact the Wii failed to release any big games last holiday, this time around its loaded with big games. But demand is not the same and Wii were sold on the spot.

This is going to a great thing to see. My vote is 21 million wiis.

I don't even have to be on the Nintendo side of the fence to say this: Wii isn't going anywhere. It's the best selling video game console, consistently, right now. The reason why though, escapes me.
