These are through 2011 lowest predictions for each console.
Nintendo Wii-
Worst Case Scenario: 55 million
This is if sales of Wii do not continue on a hot streak as casual interest drops in Wii after 2-3 years and price drops of other two make them seem more reasonable to buy.
Expectation: 65 million
High end: 90 million (if PS3 never picks up and 360 remains only a strong seller after price drops and at holidays)
Xbox 360-
Worst Case Scenario: 40 million
This is if Xbox 360 sales do not get a huge rise except for short periods after price cuts and during holidays and remain stagnant the rest of the months of the year.
Expected: 48 million
High End: 55 million (If 360 becomes the hardcore gamers' mainstay for the rest of the generation in US and Europe and PS3 price drops never make enough of a change for it to catch up)
PS3-
Worst Case Scenario: 40 million
This is if the PS3 price cut doesn't come before 07 holidays and FF XIII doesn't sell as well in Japan as the first FF games of each of the previous generations have.
Expected: 55 million.
High End: 65 million.
This is if sales in Japan pick up significantly with the release of FF XIII and other future FF and Gran Turismo games. If it drops to a pricepoint consistently within 100 dollars of 360 in the US and if HD adoption increases in at the rate that it is foreseen now.
