Anyone want to guess shipment figures for the year ending March 2010 while we wait until May for the official 'forecasts' from Nintendo and Sony? I'll throw in Microsoft too just for the hell of it.
Off the top of my head I'd go:
Wii HW ~31m (82m LTD) (16m Americas/12.5m Others/2.5m Japan)
DS HW ~ 30m (132m LTD) (10.5m Americas/15m Others/4.5m Japan)
PSP HW ~ 13m (64m LTD) (3.25m/5.75m/4m)
PS3 HW ~ 12.5m (35.5m LTD) (4.5m/6.5m/1.5m)
X360 HW ~ 10m (41m LTD) (5.5m/4m/0.5m) (based on my estimate of 30.8m Xbox 360s through March 2008)
PS2 HW ~ 4.5m (142m LTD)
Wii SW ~ 240m (610m LTD)
DS SW ~ 200m (763m LTD)
PS3 SW ~ 125m (301m LTD)
360 SW ~ No idea, but probably near 100m (351m LTD?)
PS2 SW ~ 60m (~1530m LTD using production shipments and unit shipments)
PSP SW ~ 55m (260m LTD using production shipments and unit shipments)
