Well as you note, I don't think it will split that closely either. I was just going off the article inferences for that generic breakdown.
My prediction is more like:
Wii - 88 million (25 million Japan, 35 million Americas, 28 million Europe/Others)
PS3 - 65 million (7 million Japan, 25 million Americas, 33 million Europe/Others)
360 - 54 million (1 million Japan, 40 million Americas, 13 million Europe/Others)
Basically, Sony loses 1/4 of their audience in Europe/Others, Sony loses 3/4 of their audience in Japan, Sony loses almost 1/2 (44%) of their audience in the Americas.
Microsoft sees 2.35x growth in the USA to a level almost as big as PS2, with Wii doing nearly as well, and PS3 doing population growth adjusted N64 numbers. Microsoft roughly doubles their market in Europe and Japan as well.
Nintendo grows 6x bigger in Japan, about 3x bigger in the Americas, and 7x bigger in Europe, and has record profit.
