The Wii is selling faster than the PS2 did at this point in its lifecycle, is talked about more in the mainstream than the PS2 was at this point in its lifecycle, has recieved more media attention than the PS2 did at this point in its lifecycle, has higher demand than the PS2 at this point in its lifecycle, and is catering to an market that's nearly 100 percent larger than the PS2 audience... non gamers.

Am I saying that when all is said and done that the Wii will not only sell over 100 million units but it will also have the same strength in software support as the PS2 did?

Yes... yes I am.

I really doubt that it will. I doubt that the wii will last as long as the PS2 did/still is.

My, you're feeling confident today...

I'd say about 70 mil.. just a guess though. It wouldn't take more sales than the PS2 to have better games than it, IMO.

You have been posting Wii promoting topics the past few days. I thought I informed you that flooding the board with fanboy threads is allowed in this board

The PS2 didn't have a worldwide launch like the Wii did so what part of its life cycle are you comparing to the Wii?Are you talking about 5 months after its realeased in Europe or 5 months after it released in Japan?

Dont worry. The Topic Creater, jedigemeni, is a Wii fanboy who posts 10 topics a day about the Wii. You can ignore him.

The ONLY reason the ps2 hit 100 million is because it breaks so damn easilly. There are nowehere near 100 m illion ps2 owners in the world. Not even close to that #.

Really? So they owned my predictions with their predictions? Doesnt sound like ownage to me... and at least my opinion is based on some fact, that the Wii is doing better than the PS2 at this point in their respective lifecycles.

Meh, the Wii will definitely sell well, but it's too early to say how well. The game breadth needs to increase DRAMATICALLY if they want to remain competitive, and so far there aren't a whole lot of games that will provide competition down the line.

 

"But OMG No more Heroes SSBB SMG MP3 Project O Sadness etc etc etc." I know, I'm 100% sheep too, but we need to face facts, these games really need to push it if the Wii is going to see any longevity.

The Wii won't likely sell more than the PS2. Nintendo doesn't ever have problems with their hardware malfunctioning, so Sheep won't get stuck buying 2 or 3 Wiis overtime like Cows did last gen.

The Wii game selection now and in the future won't match up to the awesome game selection the PS2 had, so I dought it will even pass 100 mil.

That's not fanboy-ism. he is merely stating facts. Just because you know marketing specs doesnt make you a fanboy. Learn what you are talking about!

50+ AAA games and you call it the worse video game lineup? The damage control is strong with this one.

I didn't read your post. I didn't needed to. All I got to say is Nintendo make durable consoles, so it can be next to impossible to sell as many Wii's as the PS2, since some of the millions of units sold were replacement....

Every one knows that statement was the dumbest statement ever. Not saying that the PS2 is the best of course.
