Wow. I mean, what kind of impressive education and business accumen must
this guy have to make such a bold prediction?
Especially since the only data he has only shows the Wii winning by a
landslide over the PS3 and 360 combined EVERY MONTH SINCE THE WII CAME OUT.
What's next? Care to predict which side of the sky the sun will rise from
tomorrow morning? It's only been rising in the east for the past ~7
billion years, but I have a special feeling about tomorrow...

If anything the estimate could be too low. Nintendo claims to have sold
over 800k during the week of Thanksgiving alone.

He didn't just simply say "Wii will sell more", he actually estimating
figures. Which isn't even why this was originally posted.

Pachter generally just estimates actual numbers. I think "landslide
victory" was the writer's contribution. :-)

Possibly. However, the Wii was in short supply through most of
November. Nintendo didn't really ramp up shipment until just before
the Thanksgiving holiday.

I'm going to call Pachter an idiot again and say all of these numbers
are low.
From what I'm hearing the Wii sold 800,000 in the week of Thanksgiving
ALONE.

I find the wii controls pretty clumsy. It's fine for some things but for
detail it's pretty bad.
I didn't buy it; my wife did and she really likes it. But for me I like FPS
and action adventure games where the controls mean everything. I rather have
a keyboard of the old Nintendo controller than the wireless controls.
Am I alone in this, or is this a common problem?

With DQIX on DS and now DQX on Wii, Nintendo will be absolutely
unstoppable.
Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior in the west) is Japan's biggest RPG
series
Sony's dominance is truly, without a doubt, OVER.
