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.

At first it won't make a significant difference, I think, but it will impact sooner or later. Maybe the Wii catches up something at sales, but I don't think that it will last for a long time.

I hate to have to explain this again, but I would like to say that IT IS NOT THE CONTROLLER THAT SELLS THE WII, IT IS THE GAMES THAT USE THE CONTROLLER.  Unless Sony or Microsoft come up with a game as sucessful as the Wii series, it won't affect the Wii anywhere near the level you are predicting. This is all discounting the fact that these controllers are NOT packed into the systems.

Ohhh, excuse me, Mr. Perfect Opinion. I'm so sorry to have bothered you in such a way that you had to use CAPS.

I'm sorry.

The Wii has the games that use the controller= The Wii sells more because of its motion controller.

What's the level that people think? 200k? 250k? 300k?

If you wanted to say less than 250k you're probably wrong, over 250k it's the right place where Wii's sales will fall next week.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

It isn't an 'opinion' we are discussing. It is the observations we have made. Really, people need to diffrentiate between the two. In this case you can be right or wrong. I never declared my observation as the "Perfect Opinion" anyway. Anyway, I ask you this, how much would the Wii have sold without Wiisports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, and other Wii Series games? I guarantee that it wouldn't be anywhere near what it has sold. How about you give me the subsitute that Sony and Microsoft have to simulate these games. Or tell me how it will be just as successful as the Wii is? Anyway

I'd kinda have to agree on this.  I mean price wasnt an issue for the Wii to begin with so i think if majority of people wanted to get one wouldve already gotten one.  I predict a small boost (and may beat PS3) but eventually will go back to its current sales etc.
