PS3 has a good shot at first place IMO. 

2011: 60m
2012: 78m
2013: 93m
2014: 105m
with a few extra mil for the next few years

It really depends on when the Wii U releases. 

You're quite the optimist.

I like to consider myself a realist. $199 PS3, AGENT, FFv13, etc. 2012 going to be MASSIVE. 18million consoles sold MINUMUM.

If you were a realist youd realize that after 5 years the core gamers allready made their console choices.

Agent is a new IP and in the late game of the gen new IPs dont make a big splash compared to when the gen is fresh

All final fantasy fans allready bought a console to play FF13.......

$199 is speculative but possible. Yet your counting out a Wii price drop, 360 price drops (the 199 360 can very well go lower), not to mention the buzz around the Wii U and the unveiling of the next Xbox to steal the thunder of PS3.....making it look outdated by comparison. 

As a realist, only the lower price would stir sales but like I said, there are other factors to consider.
