According to a Bloomberg news report, Nintendo of America Inc.’s marketing chief George Harrison predicts they’ll have sold 35 million Wii’s in the US alone by 2011 or 2012, and is increasing production to ensure the supply is there to meet the expected demand, which so far, shows no signs of abating as the Wii wins the sales charts for total units sold month after month, catching up on the Xbox 360 and more than doubling the number of PS3’s sold.
14 new games are on the way for the Nintendo Wii, due to arrive in the third quarter before the all important holiday season, while both Sony and Microsoft have plenty of new games on the way too.

That the Wii rides at the top of monthly sales with a ‘new’ way to actually play games, with the ability to play high-def games on either an Xbox 360, a PS3 or even a suitably equipped gaming PC shows just how much we are truly in a new golden age of gaming. As long as new games for the Wii engage us with great gameplay and make innovative use of the controller, in games that can be played by all ages, there's no reason why the Wii can't sell 35 million units in the US alone - and more worldwide.

Enjoy this golden age of gaming while it lasts, knowing that the longer you support it and play along, the longer the golden age will continue, with everyone a Wii-ner!
