And you don't expect the Wii to sell 4 million before the end of the year, despite the fact that it's been selling over a million a month? And with 3 major titles being released? Combined with holiday sales?

I know you're a Sony fanboy, but it just makes you sound foolish to completely ignore reality.

It seems foolish that you would think the wii will sell over 12million consoles and the ps3 wont be able to sell 4 million firsT? Your a little in and over your head.


22 million vs 8 million assumes the Wii will sell about 3x the rate of the PS3 world wide. This seems to depend entirely on Nintendo's manufacturing capability. We don't know how fast the Wii will sell if Nintendo can produce more?

Sony's PS3 sales are up right now. When the 'clearance sale' ends, if the PS3 goes back to $600, it's going to be a long, painful holiday for Sony. What's worse, sales may be even slower in early '08 than they were in early '07 when the PS3 was also not supply constrained.

I believe that if the PS3 does not get a price drop below $500, it will be pretty close, assuming Nintendo gets their production to levels they're obviously anticipating if they want to have ~22 million total produced by April.
