Last year PS3 sold over 4 million consoles between October 14th 2007 and January 6th 2008.

That was a period when the system had A 100$ PRICE CUT, zero AAA exclusives and had HD-DVD still competing with Blu-ray.

Expect PS3 to sell at least 5 million more by 2009.

 

 fixed ;)

Price cuts have maximum effect when they actually make you cheaper than the opposition.

I personally think that 24 million PS3 sales predictions are ridiculous, but at the other end of the spectrum, so was one 19 million prediction I saw. That same person went on to predict the Xbox 360 at 27 million. Yes, the 360 is going to sell MORE than it did last year despite the fact that year over year sales have fallen some 80%.

I say 21.5 million for PS3 and 24 million for 360 are perfectly reasonable.

As for the Wii, it sells well. That's a fact. I say 40 million is the low end, the high end is like 43 million. I don't like it, but it's true.

EDIT: To the OP, out of interest, what are your predictions?
