I believe I posted a very long thread on Xbox.com about my predictions for this generations sales...Far before PS3 pricing, the Wii's publicity, and when the 360 was doing...Alright... As far as I've seen, my predictions look to still be holding.... #1 - PS3 (70-75m units) - Barely in 1st place. They will ONLY win this when the system is sub-$300USD...And barely. Revenue wise, it'll be similar to the PS2, but about 50m units short of what the PS2 hits. #2 - 360 (57.5-60m units) - With a large headstart, MS seems to be in a very good position - the console is making money with less than 1 year in, MS has snagged ALOT of PS2 exclusive titles to now be multiplatform, and although sales are mediocre, it's been before a price drop. I expect it to do about 27.5-32.5m units in the US, and do very well in Europe and abroad. I also expect it to do alot better in japan but still fail in comparison to the PS3/Wii #3 - Wii (50m) Despite Wii being in 3rd, It'll do VERY well still - best unit sales since the SNES. Good publicity will push it into the stratosphere now, and for the next year or two in all 3 areas. However, when the 360/PS3 become very affordable, and have much much more noticable graphics, sales will fall out. US Sales 360 - 27.5m PS3 - 25m Units Wii - 17.5m Units JPN PS3 - 22.5Units Wii - 17.5m Units 360 - 5m Units Europe/Other 360 - 22.5m Units PS3 - 20.0m Units Wii - 12.5 Units Just estimates, but should hold well...
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
