Maybe my PS3 prediction is tad too high. My Wii and X360 predictions could be a little low. But hey I am a PS3 optimist, anything can happen.

I will stay with the 40 million PS3 sales figure by end of 2009. 18 million consoles sold in 2009 is possible- market growth and a boatload of top PS3 exclusives + a price cut of PS3 + slimline PS3.
So to be more realistic with the other two consoles: lets make the Wii 70 million by end of 2009. X360 I will be nice and say 35 million X360's sold. 2009 The X360 console sales should be down on 2008.

 

There are a few things that will push sales above my by-the-numbers prediction for PS3 of 30 million: Bluray releases, pricedrops, games, etc.

I think that the 360 will still have a slight lead or be equal at the end of 09, but early '10 will decide the "war".  I ultimately think PS3 will pass 360 shortly after.

On the other hand I think your 70 million Wii's by the end of '09 is too optimistic. (And I'm a Nintendo fan)

 

You can't make everyone happy.
