Wii and Ps3 kicking it up or 360 just dying?

360 is getting the 3rd place treatment.

Sega bowed out after two 10m or so years of unit sales for its consoles. It was last place both times.

Last gen xbox and gc were really close. This gen Wii is untouchable and PS3 is finally starting to get the hype and games that should have been here last year.

MS will never do well in Japan and Sony has always done fantastic in EU. Now that Nintendo is back to its prime and all three territories can't get enough, there is only room for two real competitors.

Originally, 2006, I had LTD pegged around 60m or so for PS360 each and 90+m for wii. Now it seems that Wii is trending much higher around 130m and PS3 is back in for a good 80m. That leaves very little room for a 3rd competitor.

I'm am betting the 360 won't sell 25m now. It's gonna really come down to GTAIV and other high profile mutliplats. If thier remaining userbase doesn't massively jump 360 from PS2, 360 is sub-25m.

The 360 is selling higher YoY. It's selling more than the original Xbox, which sold more than 25m. It's probably going to end up with at least ~24m by the end of 2008.

Sorry but your prediction doesn't make much sense. While the other two consoles are showing some momentum right now, let's not act as if the 360 is failing. It's selling considerably more this year than it did last year at this point in time. Anywhere from 20-30k a week, it seems. That equates out to a mimimum of 1m extra consoles sold in 2008 if the trend continues (and there's no reason to think it won't).
