Hmm... if PS3 is in second, I WILL crap myself. Maybe my bet may come true?

@ Avinash_Tyagi

So we shouldn't trust NPD, we should trust the companies who only report sold to retailers? I mean, how many XBOX arcades, or PS3 40 gigs are sitting on shelves now? You can't accurately reflect sales based on the companies sold to retailers, NPD is the best source we have for american numbers.

No i'm not saying we can't trust NPD, I'm saying we need to remember that they also extrapolate for 40% of the market, so just becaus they say something, doesn't mean they are right

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
