Death2009 said: Sorry Kwaad but the PS3 won't take the 360 down or even come within a stones throw of the Wii, it just costs to much.. By the end of 2007 17 to 18 million 360 15 to 16 million Wii 6 to 10 million PS3 For the end of 2008 I can see 25 to 30 million 360 22 to 26 million Wii 12 to 15 million PS3 The 360 is up for a HUGE year this year, with Halo 3, Fable 2, GTA4 and RE5 all likely to come out this year that is huge for 360, the PS3 will get trumped due to the price and the 360 will pass 10 million USA sale by december. The PS3 is getting pounded in america and unless the price drops it will continue to.

If you expect the Wii to have amazing sales this year, and just die off next year, then your figures are wrong. It's possible the hype for the Wii will decline, I don't think it will, but even if it did, it's not going to turn into a console that sells less than 800K a month world wide, when according to this site they sell about 1.2-1.5m a month ww, though with current production rates that will decrease since they stockpiled.
