Amazing, most people thought the ps3 was going to win this generation(not saying it wont happen), but so far its favored to the wii.

Total numbers as 31 dec 2007 ;

X360 ;12,5 million sold ,maybe 14 if they drop the price .

PS3 ;15 million consoles sold ,maybe a bit more if they can produce more .

Wii ;some 16 million sold ....the software drain I expect(at least in quality ) could lower a bit these numbers but not much at worse 1 million or 1.5 million for a total of 14.5-15 .Sticking to the best numbers I would say 16 million .

So my predictions are that by 31 december the world userbase will be lead by Nintendo by a very short margin over PS3 ...X360 will still be there very close but already surpassed by Sony and Nintendo .

 Burn. 



Is finding old threads the "in" thing to do now? These predictions are so funny. How wrong they were. A lot of people thought the PS3 would dominate, including myself.



Thanks for the thread necromancy. Funny predictions back then, check this ones:

roadkiller's:

By the end of 07 I think...

USA
PS3: 8 million
360: 13.5
Wii: 6

Japan
PS3: 13 million
360: 3
Wii: 8

Europe:
PS3: 12 million
360: 8
Wii: 8

33 millions for the PS3, 24.5 millions for 360 and 22 millions for the Wii. 

Result as of now: Impossible for the PS3, too high. A bit too high for 360, but not impossible. Highly likely for the Wii.

cole's:

January 2008:

360 - 12.9 million
Wii - 14.7 million
PS3 - 12.8 million

Result as of now: Almost impossible for the PS3. Too low for 360 and Wii.

Diomedes1976's: 

Total numbers as 31 dec 2007 ;

X360 ;12,5 million sold
PS3 ;15 million consoles sold
Wii ;some 16 million sold 

Result as of now: Almost impossible for the PS3. Too low for the 360 and maybe for the Wii too. 

Good to remember the past, eh? Tsk tsk 



If you want some real laughs, pull up some of Washimul's old posts. His PS3 predictions were so over the top it makes Dimomedes and Roadkiller look conservative.

diomedes' look pretty ok to me 360 is close, Wii a tad [1-2mil] low... its only his ps3 thats way too high.

@fazz - how can you say 24.5mil is "not impossible" for 360 by end of 07, it would have to sell 12 million over christmas, thats like DS numbers.
roadkillers did say he wasn't really concentrating.

closest was definately superchunk, 360/ps3 are damn close to what they will probably be. [Wii as with everyone was too low though]



Soriku...those games were announced for 2007, and he posted in 2006.

I am more surprised to find out that Diomedes1976 has been questioning the accuracy of the site for so long-8 months and counting...
