2006: 2.4m
2007: 4.3m
2008: 5.7m
2009: 7.4m
2010: 5.7m
2011: 3.2m
2012: ???

What do you think about 2012? Will this be the first year it sells sub-2m in the month of December?

Selling points:
Its being heavily advertised
$129 base price (w/ bundled games)
$99 WiiMini (in Canada + no games bundled)

Cons:
WiiU (quite a few Wii's being resold)
Lower special/sale prices for PS360
No new games

I've said for multiple years... all new consoles by the end of 2013. I was right.

I lost a bet to Jay520. He correctly predicted that neXtBox will not release within 2012. I should have known that Jay520 was an excellent predictor, I was foolish to bet against him. (June7)

Yes, this will be the first year where it fails to sell 2m in December.

Next up: Will the Eagles miss the playoffs this year?

Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV (360+PS3) would outsell SSBB. I was wrong.

It'll fail, but still sell comfortably over a million. So I'm thinking 1.4 to 1.7 million. Enough to make a reach for 100 million simple enough.

Check out Ohga Shrugs!

Love and tolerate.

until now.

When asked about the lack of games in a post-event interview with GameTrailer TV’s Geoff Keighley, Microsoft’s Don Mattrick said: “And we’re going to show such amazing content at E3. Be planned to be blown away.”

I voted 2.5m... But that might be a bit optimistic!

Bet with ninjablade:

For 1 day sig controll; I say bayo2 will stay exclusive on a Nintendo platform a year after release, while he's saying it will go multiplat within a year.

Bet with Dr.Grass:

If I win he will call me King in his sig for a whole year, and if I lose I will proclaim my stupidity - for a whole year.

Why Nintendo isn't getting 3rd party support

Megaton predictions for PS4 at e3

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

there is always the first time (at least for most)

but to speak about this topic, there is always the first time a console will sell below this number and it seems like it will be this year and not only next.

It has some new games and great deals! I think it will be really close to 2 million! Remember it has been sold for 89 dollars at walmart this year in the states and last year tthey sold it at 99 dollars.

A decent amount of games came this year and some mediocre games recently. For cheap you cannot beat it. Unless you can find a new ps2 somewhere. But hardly anyone has new ones in stock in my area.

2.05 million or more.
