Wii Games Sales by Christmas

 Webbush Morgan Securitie, you know the folks that know a thing or 2 about gaming sales predictions, have come up with a number that they fill Nintendo and it's dveloper friends will recieve from the Wii hungry public by Christmas.  It does not look good for Sony because WMS predicts that the Wii games sales will outpace the PS(It ain't Free) 3 to 1.

"We think it is important to note that we expect total U.S. software sales of only $144 million for the PS3 and only $288 million for the Wii, with additional European software sales of $156 million for the Wii in 2006," is the note from analyst Michael Pachter.  He put some details around the Wii numbers with this tidbit:

"Nintendo has announced that approximately 24 games will be available at launch with another six by year-end. Based on confirmed titles, we expect Ubisoft to deliver the greatest number of launch titles with nine, followed by Activision with five (two are budget titles), and Electronic Arts and Nintendo with two apiece. We note that these publishers and others have several additional titles planned (but unconfirmed) for release at or near launch. Most titles are expected to be priced at $49.99, although it is possible that a handful of premium titles will be priced higher."

The scary thing is that it will not be until March of next year, when the consoles are avaiable to all those who want one , that game reveues are likely to grow 50%.
