mrstickball, My sales predictions total 230 million consoles sold this generation. Including 150 million Wiis. I'm revising the numbers all the time though. I agree with you that people should stop these "50 million of each console" predictions, and choose a higher total sales number. The big argument for their being fewer sales, or similar sales to previous generations is the higher price tag on two of the consoles... My answer to this is simply that the Wii will have to make up the difference!
