I'll go out on a limb and say that the wii will never have a lead of over 20 million over the ps3. I expect a lead of roughly 15-17 million by which time their sales should be about even.
Reason for this is I think Sony will have two price cuts next year and in combination with their great lineup next year it is possible for them to double this year's sales.


that's the most bullish i've ever seen ANYONE be on the ps3

u think ps3 will sell at least 13 million next year and will sell 200,000+ lifetime? because wii is selling over 20 million next year and over 200k lifetime easy


The reason why I am optimistic with regards to the ps3 is because it has managed to sell roughly 8 million units in it's first year despite a very high launch price, limited games, late launch in Europe and stiff competition from the other two consoles. Now with a lower price, decent game library which is constantly improving and selling across all regions for the year I think that 12 million should be the minimum it sells to be honest.

 

If it sells less than that by a significant margin then I am wrong but I doubt I will be. I hope that explains my stance

 

Oh and in terms of lifetime sales depending on how good or bad it does I would say the minimum is 70 million with the maximum close to 200 million seeing as how the market has expanded and the playstations typically have good longevity.
