As of the latest numbers (through May 4) it's ~50k behind, so another week or two should do it.legend166 said:Does the balance board have a larger installed base than the PS3 yet?

Culex said:Ouch, well, I don't believe the Wii will be hitting SNES numbers in its lifetime. It may reach 15 million, though.
Cryect said:Its just going to stop selling at some point you are thinking or something?
farnham said:Wii and DS need some boost.. the PSP is the hottest hardware in Japan right now... If you look at the software thats puzzling...
They need some game that boosts the Wii and the DS not maintains it to the current level..
joedick said:Plus, DS may have hit its breaking point.
Pellham said:The DS already outsold the PS2 in Japan, it can get a little slack in sales. And a downhill slide for the DS might entice Nintendo to release its successor sooner anyway, so it's a win-win situation.

The Famicom/Super Famicom were being sold in Japan for almost two decades, versus Wii in its first 1.5 years. There's a chance I'd say.Culex said:Ouch, well, I don't believe the Wii will be hitting SNES numbers in its lifetime. It may reach 15 million, though.

I knew 'Suicide Training DS' was a bad idea.Philthy said:By the end of the year no one will be alive in Japan. They're too busy committing suicide with draino.
Sucks for Nintendo.

Ummm... PS2 outsold SNES AND the NES, and Wii has been constantly trending ABOVE PS2 sales... so unless you think "Wii is a fad" and will drop in interest, you're greatly underestimating the situation.Culex said:Ouch, well, I don't believe the Wii will be hitting SNES numbers in its lifetime.

I say this week.donny2112 said:Not yet, according to Media-Create.
Difference: 48,533
Probably a couple of more weeks.

But no one would buy the sequel.Vinci said:Christ, that would sell so well over there. And there'd always be another generation yearning for further lessons on how to do it.
Sick as hell, but something that would be highly profitable.
Jocchan said:But no one would buy the sequel.
Oh but it does, Wii already has 6 confirmed million sellers, 2 of which are already over 2 million (WiiFit will be over 2 million in next week's numbers as well). SMG is also at around 900k units sold.ivysaur12 said:Great.
Now only if the software sold as well as the hardware in Japan.
I'm not expecting much. It will be P2P 99% and Japanese gamers don't seem to be that interested. How did Final Fantasy Online do for PS2 and XBOX/360? Phantasy Star for GC?FoxhoundNL said:How much have PSP & PS2 & PS1 sold in Japan? Just curious.
edit: Wonder what will happen if Monter Hunter 3 for Wii hits..:lol Shit!
