I made this a couple of days ago, it overlaps quite nicely with this thread. I hope nobody minds I go a tad off-topic here, it's not to prove a point or anything, it's just that this has been discussed, and it deserves some proper numbers. None of the consoles are likely to topple the Playstation 2's 224 million sellers. For million sellers, it looks like it will be Ps2 > X360 > Wii => Ps3 => DS > PsP to me. None of them are going to beat the Playstation 2's 115 double million sellers either. Well, I suppose the X360 has a shot, but none of the others are going anywhere near there. Ps2 > X360 > Ps3 => Wii => DS > PsP I don't think any of them are going to take the Playstation 2's 62 triple million sellers either. Ps2 > X360 > Wii => Ps3 => DS > PsP For 5 million sellers, the Wii is likely to come out on top, a bit ahead of the X360, in front of the DS, then most likely the Ps2 ahead of Ps3, then finally PsP. Wii => X360 > DS > Ps2 > Ps3 10 million sellers isn't even a competition. The only 2 questions are; will the X360 get five 10 million sellers, and will the Ps3 get a single one? Wii > DS > Ps2 => X360 > Ps3 => PsP 15 million goes the same way. Only question is; will the X360 get a single 15 million seller? Black Ops has a shot. Wii > DS > Ps2 => X360 > Ps3 = PsP 20 million is quite simply Wii > DS > X360 = Ps2 = Ps3 = PsP |
Great analysis :D
It sure is one weird generation but i guess the wii is the way it is cause it is a Nintendo console. 1st party titles are extremely powerful giving it loads of 10-15-20 million sellers where as the lack of 3rd party has affected its million sellers performances in general. 360 is an amazing case of a second place console and the PS3 as a 3rd place(up to now).
Though Wii is likely to have above 100 million sellers by the end of the year or at least Jan 2011.
