i think we can expect a VERY good year in '08 for the wii, 360s best year, and a decent year for ps3. i can see wii, 360, ps3 hitting 17-18 mil, 16 mil, and 7 mil by years end. by end of '08 after wiifit, mario kart, ssbb, and probably good 3rd party games coming in i see wii at 40 million. also i could see the wii dropping to $200-220 next fall. not for sales reasons but simply to keep a big enough difference with the 360 so that the public can clearly see that it is still the cheapest system.
360 is gonna have an overall increase in sales due to them finally getting a good lineup (took 'em long enough) this fall and quality '08 games and hopefully a price cut or two that will put them just under $300 for the pro system. 360 should be able to get up to 26 million. although i think after next year it'll start to die and finish under 35 million lifetime cuz the american market will dry up for microsoft and once that happens that system is dead in the water.
ps3 will be trailing in third with the worst sales in the US, poor to decent sales in japan, and decent sales in europe. i think it'll manage to get up to 15 million by the end of '08 with the main system falling to $400 next year and ps3 starting to get a good lineup. after '08 ps3 still won't be selling well but with the 360 dying off it will start to catch up and eventually end somewhere right around 360 between 30-35 million.
so... '07 '08 lifetime
wii 17-18 40 a lot
360 16 26 ~34
ps3 7 15 ~34
end of '08 predictions: wii - 43 million, 360 - 25 million, ps3 - 20 million
