The Wii has new Excitebike, new Punch-Out!, new 2-D Mario, new 2-D Final Fantasy, new 2-D Mega Man, new Boy and His Blob, and uses the same controller as the NES.

PS3 has new eye toy, new rachet, new killzone, new gran turismo next year, and uses the same controller as the PS2. I'm not actually saying the PS3 is gonna win by the way. I'm just saying this guys reasoning for the Wii being first is stupid.

Wii is much closer to the NES in terms of software than PS3 is to PS2 Killzone, GT, Ratchet didn't make PS2 the victor last gen, controllers and hardware don't win gens, Software libraries with wide appeal wins gens

And none of the above games are making the Wii the victor. That is the Wii series.


exactly games with widest appeal, PS3 doesn't have that, NES and Wii have that in common, which is why they won

 

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)

Somewhat, he was one of the few that accurately guessed the market when Analysts like Pachter were expecting Wii to end up in third and for Nintendo to leave the console market

Yea I just don't think it's all the NES owners coming back to the console market like this guy does. If that's the way then there is 100+million PS2 owners in the wild waiting for an upgrade. Which I don't think is true.
