Check your math dude how is PS1+PS2+PS3 at 250 million?

PS1 is at 102 million
PS2 is at 113 million (check the VGC hardware table)
PS3 is at 7 million

222 million, not 250 million, if you're going to argue my prediction at least do your math homework first, you really think PS2 is going to add that much more? Its in decline as it is, and PS3 isn't going to add much to that level, maybe 20 million more, you've probably got 250-255 million tops from the PS family by 2015

I counted the PlayStation Portable, or isn't that part of the Playstation family?

Note my prediction, that i've had up for weeks, says consoles (aren't guys like you saying we can't compare consoles and handhelds that they are two seperate markets), has that suddenly changed for you are consoles and handhelds the same, because if they are then the same arguments for DS success should apply to the Wii, are you suddnly saying that the PSP is a console and should be counted as a console and thus all handhelds are consoles?

uh oh, you're falling for the whole "lump everyone who disagrees with me as one person" trick. Final-fan never stated at any point that handheld history could not be applied to consoles. 

Besides, there's a big difference between adding the PSP numbers to the total sales of the Playstation brand of consoles and saying that PSP/DS sales are a precedent for PS3/Wii sales.

You need to be a bit less defensive here. 

Ah he didn't well my apologies then, after a while all the Wii doubters and their arguments seem to blend 

I would have to disagree, the PSP/DS is the perfect indicator of the PS3/Wii with the only caveat being that the PS3 is doing worse than the PSP and the Wii is doing better than the DS, probably due to the handhelds generating more support for the Wii early on because of the appeal of the DS, and MS being in the console market.  However other than that fact the two battle share the same things, like the mistakes by Sony (pushing a multimedia device with poor games support for example) and Nintendo using its games to reach out to new markets

  Anyways on my prediction it was with regards to consoles only, adding in PSP would require until 2018 for the Wii to pass the PS1, PS2 and PS3 and PSP combined.
