So I have been analyzing past sales charts and I feel comfortable making my Life Time sales predictions for the consoles below. Please note that I expect to be less accurate the newer a console is (Maybe stating the obvious). Tell me what you think. Prediction in descending launch date (And therefore accuracy):

PSP:81-86m

Xbox 360: 85-95m

PS3: 90-105m

Wii: 102-105m

3DS: 50-70m

PSV: 20-30m

Wii U: 20-40m

NOTE: I didn't mention the DS because it is over.  Any prediction would be crazy obvious.

The DS is far from over. It will sell in the west for a while longer.

 

I would agree with Vita and Wii U. Not the 3DS though. Probably more like 90-120 million.

But it seems like the 3DS has already peaked after its first price cut only a few months from release.  Personally I think largescale handdheld gaming as seen in the Gameboy and PSP is over.  It will probably live on, but as much smaller levels.  Smartphones have just decimated that segment...
