VGC number for end of year 2008 (including week ending 3d Jan) will have the X360 at 27.5 mill, the PS3 at 19.5 mill and Wii at 45.5 mill.

I feel though that VGC has over-tracked all 3 consoles, and that adjusted after shipment figures will be:

X360: 26.5 mill (=10.5 mill sold in 2008)
PS3: 18.5 mill (9.5 mill sold)
Wii: 44 mill (24.5 mill sold)

Therefore I perdict for 2009:

X360: 36.5 mill (+10 mill)
PS3: 30.5 mill (+12 mill)
Wii: 69 mill (+25 mill)

Note: Im assumin a big price cut $100 on the PS3 in March, followed by a small $50 on the X360. This will severly hurt X360's momentum and bring the PS3 back in the game.

$100 pricecut is VERY unlikely seeing how expensive ps3 still is to manufacture

I don't trust iSuppli. We have an insider source (aka drkohler lol) here on VGC that says the PS3 costs a lot less than $450 to manufacture - actually $100 less, which supports my price drop perdiction perfectly lol:
