i expect PS4 to take first, nextbox to take second, and Wiiu to take 3rd at about 65m.

3DS will take first with 200 million life time sales.

That's way too optimistic on 3DS making 200M lifetime. Wanna bet?

Well, I don't know how the betting thing goes, but I think by 2020 it will have at least 150 million, and that Life Time sales will be 200 million, but I wouldn't be surprise if the 3DS reaches 150 million as early as 2018.

As I said, I don't know about the bet itself.

I base this on glasses-free 3D and downloading full 3D movies and Hulu Plus having 3D streaming this year and Netflix eventually getting 3D streaming in the next 2 to 3 years, and YouTube app coming which already has 120 refresh rate 3D videos to go with their 30 refresh rate 2D videos, and the game library listed at Wikipedia and 3D camera and connectivity between Wii U & 3DS and the 3DS XL being a bigger option for people.

We simply state that we bet and make some prize (like writing something into the sig like). There is nothing complicated involved, only agreeing over the terms of the bet.
