I still find this hard to believe, even taking into account that this is a prediction of retailer shipments. 13 million before the end of the year? Lifetime, OK, but in 2008? I don't think so...
Keep in mind that this is predicting Grand Theft Auto to DOUBLE the sales of Halo from last year.
Also, no game outside Wii Sports/Wii Play has even hit 8m yet in this generation. Expecting another 5m on top of that seems doubtful.
Or yet another way to put it: take the top-selling game lifetime on the 360 (Halo at 7.5m) and the top-selling game lifetime on the PS3 (Motorstorm at 3m), add them together and you're still a solid 2.5m short of that prediction. So I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying this is a long shot to happen.
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
