I just heard somewhere that this guy thinks Wii could only sell like 13 million in 2010 and less in 2011, but he sounds a bit pessimistic. End of 2009 I hoped wii to sell no less than 62 million and end of 2010, Wii to sell no less than 73 million or they could sell lot more if it sells better in 2010 than this year.  IF Wii does sell what Nintendo is hoping it to do,  we could see Wii topping 100 Million in the first half of 2012, while DS is so far ahead with about 170 million sold, a lot.  End of 2011 95 million you say? even if it does about 90 million it's not a big disaster, it will be the first Nintendo console to sell so much.

The Wii is the first console to win over non gamers so I think it's in good stead to sell more and overtake the PS2.

We are speaking of winner and successful consoles, and them have to be compared to succesful consoles. Sure even if Wii stopts selling after having overpassed NES sales it would however be an extremely successful console; but this year, considered a bad year for Wii by many people, it's gonna selling 20m according to Nintendo. I think next year it will be able to do as much or more, considering all the great games are coming. 90 millions is not a disaster, but it's the low end for Wii's and Nintendo power: if all is right next year we should see at least two of the big three titles from Nintendo, plus some games for the new audience like Vitality Sensor, and many other surprires; and NSMBW and Wii Fit Plus just launched, they'll bring new people (pretty much all multi million sellers have this effect) to Wii. Wii has the possibility to have a great year in 2010 (bigger than 2008?) and even if it's better than 2009 it could still be near or above 20m. Speaking of 2011 is difficult but 15 millions seems very little to do right now, especially because of Dragon Quest X in Japan (if FFXIII will sell 500k new PS3s I think DQX can have a similar or bigger effect for Wii).

Like it or hate it the Wii will hit a 100 millions somehow.

Congrats! Nintendo!!!

I don't think we should be worried about wii not selling for a while now.  Once they pass NES sales they should continue to sell well, and way over 100 million in the future and then topping PS1.  If wii sells as much as 2009 or more then it's not all that bad, meaning it will sell over 75 million which is pretty good but I think they will sell a tad more in 2010 because NSMBwii will likely give them a slight boost now and then.  Super mario galaxy and metroid other m are probably the big games of 2010 for Wii and will keep the wii glowing for a while longer untill 2011 which likely zelda Wii will make an appearances. 

I beleive the Wii vitality sensor could be bigger than most of use think, it could pull a wii fit, they loved yoga, maybe they like relaxing too. Nintendo haven't said much about it so maybe they are planning a suprise.   I think Nintendo will be happy if they sell at least 18 million in their fiscal year, since it's not far off 20 million anyway.  another load in 2011 will be needed.  I reckon DQX will boost wii sales in Japan by quite a long shot, over 100,000 for sure, unless it gets ported to PS3 like most people are thinking.

Selling more Wii's of course, sometime in 2012 Wii will be above 100 million.

And they are making a profit off of every one, those greedy bastards!

Why couldn't they do the decent thing and subsidize the system for gamers?

Something like this no doubt:

"Nintendo has announced that shipments of the Wii have topped 80 million units.  Sadly, only 2 million of those units were purchased by true gamers and the other 78 million by teh casualz and grandmaz!!"

yeah I would bet they would certinaly say something of that sort.  I would think there's more than 2 million games out of that 80 million,  You'de think they've interviewed each of the 80 million people and asked them what kind of gamer they are.
