Just kidding... well you never know about Wii in stock situation. There is a new research forecast about video game consoles. The graph basically shows Nintendo Wii continue a pretty intense rate of units purchased throughout 2008 and 2009 and the rate slowly decreases over time. This means that there would be over 70 million Wiis in people's households around the world.
The Wii forecast may actually hold true because of the current situation where no one can find the Wii in stock. It has really hit home with the masses and they keep buying it like hotcakes. Don't be surprised if you can't find any Wii in stock well into 2008.
The shocker is that they show PS3 almost beating Wii in 2011. This means PS3 sales have to seriously pick up fast. If the analysts are right (unlikely), we should be seeing PS3 hysteria for the next few years.
The XBOX 360 is in an awfully lonely position at #3, but by that time, Microsoft should be rolling out with XBOX 720 or 1080 or whatever number they choose.
The problem with analysts are that they are usually wrong so what's the point? All we do know is that you can't find the Wii in stock and everyone from your grandpa to your mom next door wants one. That's pretty impressive. Now lets hope the Nintendo Wii in stock comes back to normal levels next year.
