Wii 15 million
PS3 14 million
X360 13 million

Wii will drop to $149
PS3 will cost $249
X360 will cost $179 and $249 (149/199 Euro in Europe)

Stealing your formatting, I'll say...

 

 

 

Wii 15 million
360 14 million
PS3 13 million

PS3 will drop $100 across the board for every SKU in the summer/fall
360 and Wii will hold their prices and value add (ie: bundle) instead

Well you almost stole my numbers too.

PS3 dropping to $199 while X360 remaining at $299 is crazy talk though.

Could you imagine that, what would that look like. PS3 dropping $400 from release and the Xbox360 only $100!

lol!  The numbers just needed some tweaking. ;)

360 will value add in response to any PS3 drop.  I'm half expecting Microsoft to do away the the Kinect bundles and just start including Kinect in every regular SKU (like Nintendo did with Motion Plus, and now the Wiimote Plus).  They'll do an effective $100 drop that way without actually having a price drop, like they did with the Pro/Elite last year.

I think Nintendo will bundle too, probably a 2nd Wiimote Plus and maybe some different game bundles (DKCR, Mario Kart, etc).  I think a Wii Fit Plus hardware bundle could be huge too.
