i dont think that the wii has the legs to sell 100 million like the ps2 has done. remember no home console has ever come close to matching the ps2's sales. the ps2 has a massive library of games with plenty of third party support and although graphically inferior to the xbox it wasnt as far off as the wii is compared to the ps3 and 360, it could still compete and many games werent any different as the ps2 was the lead console. with the wii there is such a gap developers have to make a completely different game and as seen so far most are cheap knock offs or ports from the ps2. nintendo cannot sustain a console with first party games forever.
i also think that the wii will have a short lifespan, with its next iteration within 4 years with slightly enhanced graphical power and a new and different control scheme. i know as i have a family member who is financial director of a company with stake in nintendos stock that the idea of a console with motion sensing has been in development for many years and ill bet that thats not the only thing theyve been working on.
to reach 105 million as currently predicted within even another 5-6 years the wii will need to sell 15 million a year minimum. even with a lower price point and if it proves not to be a fad the increased competition expected from the ps3 and 360 means that i just dont think the numbers add up.
