I'd go with.
Wii- 25 million (very strong line up, plus NSMBW will keep monumentum going through Q1)
PS3- 14 million (Again strong line-up should help it in sales)
360- 13-16million (Natal, if it's a big hit could be as high as 16 milion)

nsmbw was not that big of a console movie. zelda on the other handd will sway more hardcore gamers and thats what the wii needs. its got all the kiddies, mommies, dads, girls everythign but the hardcore masses. it can do it.


Uh...you're kidding me right. Please tell me you're kidding. Wii had record sales this year, and you think the Wii would be as high as it was in Japan if it weren't for NSMBW?

For one week. Down yoy otherwise, even in the last quarter after price cut, black edition, motion +, Sports Resort and a massive add campaign (I've never seen so many videogame adds my entire life, this holiday season was really something else).

this.    nsmbw isnt a console mover, its a game u buy after uve got the console, its not the key reason ud by it. unless u think this counts

 

" im going to buy a black wii because the price went down, and hey i guess i could pick up nsmbw" <- that DOESNT count

You still fail to prove that it isn't. You neglected the fact that Wii's momentum was crippled over the last 12 months, which is kinda of a big deal here. The fact the Wii moved so many millions of consoles after its release is testimony to its system selling power.

Anyway, on topic. I expect the 360 and PS3 to do around the same numbers, unless something substantial is announced for either one of them. The only exclyusive system seller the PS3 have is GT5, and for the 360 it's Halo Reach. Natal and Gem are still up in the air, but since they are proving they don't understand why the Wii is so popular I'm sure those motion devices will fail until they prove to me otherwise.
