| Gearbox said: the 360 doesnt have a chance for second imo. i think the wii will be around 75 mil at best, ps3 prolly at 80 |
If the Wii stops selling in January 2010 then yes it won't pass 75 million.... as it is though, it should pass 75 million in either December 2009 or January 2010.
I will post my old prediction again I think.
| Wii | Minimum | Expected range | Maximum |
| World | 100 | 140-155 | 200? |
| Japan | 18 | 20-25 | 30 |
| Americas | 45 | 65-70 | 85 |
| Others | 37 | 55-60 | 85 |
| PS3 |
Minimum | Expected range | Maximum |
| World | 40 |
50-60 | 85 |
| Japan | 4 | 5-7 | 8 |
| Americas | 14 | 16-19 | 32 |
| Others | 22 | 29-34 | 45 |
| X360 |
Minimum | Expected range | Maximum |
| World | 40 | 45-55 | 65 |
| Japan | 1 | 1-1.5 | 2 |
| Americas | 25 | 29-35.5 | 42 |
| Others | 14 | 15-18 | 21 |
The Wii WILL be number 1... even in an absolute worst case scenario (within reasonable bounds of course... no meteorites hitting Wii stock or anything) the PS3 will not be able to catch up..... and a far more likely scenario would be that the Wii almost triples the sales of the PSTriple.
Arguably since I made this (4 months ago) I should probably be increasing Wii and decreasing PS3, but I don't think recent events will have too much effect just yet
