even fewer more like 42, however we had the introduction of 3 new systems now which should increase overall sales. Between 2006 and 2008, with the introduction of the wii, xbox 360 and the ps3 sales shot up from 41 million to close to 90 million more than two times...I think probably something similar will happen, probably not as much, because a lot of those people are casual players when they bought the wii. If we take the last years xbox 360 figures from 2013 and pick a halfway point between overall sale increase, which is a rather modest estimate we do get a figure of around 9 million. Interestingly enough, in 2008 the ps3 which was the 3rd ranked system for 2008 sold around 10 million, 8-9 million is probably not a bad estimate. I'm inclined to say fewer than 8 million.

A big part of me does think that Xbox1 and the wii u are going to battling it out for second place but until I see data that supports Wii U outselling xbox1, I'm going to assume otherwise.
