Of four million Wiis and 2007 next-gen predictions

Benjamin Willcock seems to have a lot of time in his hands and a lot of thoughts in his head. The next-gen wars aficionado mentions in his blog that the Nintendo Wii has now shipped and sold just over four million units worldwide, which is (if it’s true) consistent with Nintendo’s plans.

The entry was of course laced with the usual could-this-be-the-end-of-Sony questions. But it would have been nice if he has some actual figures to back up the claim. But if the good news is indeed true, then kudos to Ninty and good luck to MS and Sony.

Anyhow, he also mentioned some interesting 2007 predictions. He predicts that the planned six million Wii units by March 2007 is not only probable but Nintendo might even surpass it and Ninty might have sold 6.5 – 7 million units by that time. He also mentioned that MS would have shipped 11.5 million consoles and will pose a great challenge to both the Wii and the PS3. With regards to Sony, he says that by March, they would have sold around 3.5- 4 million units.

Just goes to show that anybody could make their own predictions. If Benjamin can come up with his own 2007 speculations, so can you. So use the comments section if you want to share your take on this.
