Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii 10 mln. or PS3 5 mln. in Japan. Who first?

Congrats to Wii! And it even managed this milestone without (1) a "slim" redesign or (2) it's biggest software release. Meanwhile PS3 just had both those to push it, and still came up short. :P

^Well to be fair, one could argue that NSMB Wii is the biggest software release for Wii, at least in Japan



 

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)

It might end up there actually.  It's going to be between NSMBW and DQX imo.

Change it to biggest 3rd party game then. ;)

Wii won again... but PS3 was more close than I predicted.

The PS3 side got awfully quiet. Then again, it is bad manners when talking with your mouth full (of crow).

LoL. And I for one can't stand people who try to talk and chew at the same time!



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.

I got a large order of Crow here, PS3 fans, please form a single line

Fair enough. Let's just hope you'll serve them fresh crow, and not the leftovers from your past predictions! Remember, your Michelin star is at stake.
