It's hard to put it in numbers, but what the hell.

Wii - It will be the winner, with 90 - 100 million I think. I don't think it'll reach PS2 levels though, I really think the graphics will become too dated in a few years at which point the 360 and PS3 will most likely all be within $100 of the Wii, or less. First place everywhere (maybe a 2nd place in America if the 360 pulls off a miracle)

Xbox 360 - The second place winner, with 40 - 45 million. A nice increase from the Xbox, but it's not PS2. I think this is where the bulk of traditional and high end gamers will go, due to a nice combination of capability, software and price. I think it'll be 2nd place in America and Europe by a good margin, and last in Japan by a huge margin (though I still think it will hit 1 million there by the end).

PS3 - The last place of this gen, at 25 - 30 million sold. It's just too expensive, and honestly, every week it is outsold by the Wii and especially the 360 (since they're going for the same thing) is gonna hurt it. 3rd parties won't abandon it, but I see some big former playstation exclusives hitting the 360 as multiplatform titles. Also, Blu-ray just isn't as big a deal as DVD was for the PS2, and DVD drive didn't double the PS2's price, so that will continue to hurt it. 2nd place in Japan, far behind Wii but far ahead of the 360, but last place in America and Europe.
