   I'm less concerned with this weeks numbers to be honest, and more interested in what will happen to sales of the three consoles over the next six months, until the end of the fiscal year, and during that time I expect Wii to easily outsell the PS3, possibly even the PS3 and 360 combined



 

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)

I think that the Wii's stellar time is going to pass soon. When its HD siblings bring into the market the new motion controllers (especially Sony's one, since it is what resembles more to the Wii model) the casual public will start to look at them.

Motion controllers are only part of the picture.

If you'll notice, Sony and MS are also pushing the PS360 as "fun for the whole family..."  and this is what the Wii truly did different. 

 

Personally, I doubt either of them will make a dent in the Wii's dominance of the casual market.  Because in the end, it comes down to the games you can play with your motion controller, not just the motion controller itself.

  What? You actually think PS3 will outsell the Wii over the next six months, lol, are you perhaps crazzyman in disguise?

I find it laughable that you are calling him out on his prediction when i look at your sig.



                            

You guys use Avinash's sig against him every chance you get! Debate him on what's said in the thread... not his sig. He said countless times that he doesn't care if his predictions are off.

He shouldn't laugh at other people's predictions when he has Crazzyman-like stuff in his sig.



                            

Looks like its a likelyhood now

Yes, indeed it does. My prediction of 275-300K might be slightly low. EU numbers are probably not going to see as big a boost because of Fifa. I expect Japan to be in the 50-60K range. Although I think we can pretty definitively say that it's not going to come close to slim launch week. I can't believe PS3 went up in America. The only thing that even resembled a system seller that came out this week was Sigma 2.
