Since a lot of you were interested in seeing this I threw something together:

I find it somewhat odd that their prediction should stop at 2012 given their predicted PS3 sales for that year. They're already 4 years into the future with the prediction any claim to variables as a deterrence for continuing the prediction is gone and it seems that truly the only reason they stopped there was because the PS3 surpassed the Wii.
Or to put it another way I believe they reached the conclusion they were aiming for. We can debate "if" and "why" they played with the numbers all day and still not have a definitive answer so I think I'll throw my weight behind the safe bet and say they did play with the numbers to get the conclusion they want and they did it to produce an article that would garner page views.
