Wii system sales cross 100 million units

@DrRockso87 The Wii is capable of running games spanning from 2001 (the gamecube release) to 2012 (when the Wii U took over as Nintendo's developing console). Thats 11 years worth of gaming you can access for a much smaller cost then up to date systems. Not everyone can afford or wants to stay current with gaming because its expensive (I still feel the Wii U is an investment not a purchase atm).

@northArrow I doubt Nintendo will ever again get these sales figures with consoles excluding handhelds. But I doubt Wii U flops, the biggest games aren't even out yet for the system, which was really stupid move from them, they should've had something big at launch.

@northArrow I agree, but I also doubt sales this gen will be as high for any of the big 3.

@xolivierx Simple math really $129.99 vs $349.99. Plus the Wii has a larger library of games.

@combigotes they won the current generation? haha no...

@combigotes fanboys.

@jrcast84 The NES sold over 61 million copies in its time, while the SNES sold over 49 million. Not even the N64 or GameCube even come close to these sales, including the Wii.

@Haeravon There actually was. When GAMESPOT did weekly numbers reporting, the PS2 outsold PS3 many weeks. But for some reason GAMESPOT quit reporting the weekly numbers about a year ago or so after the VITA came out with dismal numbers. They even did a top 10 game selling list with numbers as well.

Oh well, say what you want, WIIU still outselling VITA.

@WTF1555

First they have to sell their current stock of 100 million units.
