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.

Just proves they can't argue my points and are forced to use ad hominem attacks



 

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 sales will be about double in North America.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

wii might be cheaper so to a person looking for the cheapest and quickest package the ya they will get the wii
but..
for a person that does research and wants more for there buck and something higher quality then they will choose the ps3 and im pretty sure most people know the ps3 is a blu ray player...soooo for $100 more you get blu ray, hd games, dvd upscaler, free online i think its easy to choose imho.

but it really depends on the consumer so i have no clue, thats just my opinion.



I say that the wii will also double sales of the PS3, and nearly outsell the PS3 and 360 combined...call me aka Capt. Obvious!

And the person who actually looks at the games will choose the console they think has the better games. Oh wait nevermind, your  point about choosing a videogame console for it's multimedia value is better. Remember everyone, Wii owners aren't educated on their purchase. It is all impulse buying. Otherwise they would know from the start the superior product and choose not to buy the Wii.



^^ur saying Wii Fit is a video game?



Anyways, looks like it will outsell the PS3 by about 40k, which is pretty good, but the week after PS3 should be back on top.
