Interesting thread. Of the three, I think the Wii has the best chance. I doubt the PS3 ever will - simply because of the "aggressive" rate that all companies will need to revise hardware now. I suspect the Wii will reach the 60-70mill mark - then Nintendo will release the Wii v2.0. Whether they keep supporting the Wii, who knows. If you count the Wii + Wii 2.0, I think it (should) easily reach 100mill. Remember that: - worlds population is still growing - new markets are being opened up all the time - cost of technology is becoming progressively lower - average income in a lot of non-gaming countries is rising significantly When the conditions are right, a console will sell 100mill in China/India alone. And if it ever reaches 30% penetration in these countries - it could be closer to 250m. The big unknown is still... manufacturing. In essence, *everything* is limited by the rate that companies can manufacture these consoles. If any of the companies can "magically" manufacture 10m / month, everything will change. I think Nintendo *could* sell 100m Wii's - in a single year. It would require a price cut, heaps of marketing and some smart bundles - but it could be possible. (not that its going to happen).
