Hmm PS3 was ahead until the end of November and then they were basically tied until the last week of the year where PS3 outsold Wii by more than 200k. But Wii continues to drop a lot, and like I said I expect it to drop even more harshly this year due to no games and Wii U stealing the spotlight.

PS3 will outsell Wii by a lot more than 5m in 2013 I think. But otherwise I have to agree that it doesn't look very likely at the moment unless Wii magically stops selling after Wii U comes out.

I agree. I said 7mil for 2013. 5mil for 2014 etc.

I expect the Wii to drop, but not as harsh as the DS did (as they were effectively the same price; infact the DSiXL is more expensive than the 3DS in Japan). Don't forget DQX as well- that'll increase sales in Japan by about 150k overall. Depends on when it launches. I expect next year.

Oh, right. Misread that. Isn't DQX coming to Wii U too?

Yes, but it will still boost Wii sales regardless. DQ is ridiculously big. They have to release them on Saturdays so that the entire country doesn't shut down...provided it releases within the next 18 months, it'll be absolutely hugefor both Wii and WiiU...

If you could get a Wii and the next Dragon Quest game in Japan for £100, you'd be surprised how many would do that.

And of course the slight boost in the West etc. etc., but it's pretty irrelevant.
