Question: Where are these high PS3 figures coming from? The system didn't even manage 10 million through two Christmases, so why and/or how would it reach 70 million in 3-4 years?

 Ironic that these are the same people who think my predictions for Wii are unlikely


 Wasn't the PS3 supply constraint through the first christmas. It has had only one christmas in Europe. The only time most people are willing to spend 500-600$ on a games console is at christmas, so it lost a lot of sales in the first christmas. 

When it gets down to a mass market price (200-300$), it will start selling really well.

@AT

your wii prediction is stupid, thats why. 


 More likely than your prediction of the PS3 hitting 70 million.

 

Lets see its been price cut repeatedly in japan, even cheaper than the US, and its still not selling well 



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
