250million for any console sounds waaaay too high....anyway,when all is said and done,I think all 3 will pull very respectable numbers worldwide.

It's not what I would call entirely likely, but still a realistic "best case" scenario.

To get a better idea of how high the numbers could really go... There are 1.2 billion TV households around the world.

 

Let's just focus on Cable TV numbers to help limit the numbers, but you certainly don't need cable TV for a game console. 355 million of those have cable TV.

The US only has 69 million cable households. China has 106 million. China is relatively untapped for video game consoles. A lot could happen in 6 years where areas of the world that didn't have video game consoles suddenly open up.

This also doesn't take into account people who may get multiple consoles. By the time the wii reaches $99, there will be many households that may have more than one console because everyone in the family will want to play different games at the same time.
