I think most of us know the Ps3 is 2nd now....nothing can change that..

The wii has hit public perception & has gained their mindshare

PS3 will become a very successful (THE most successful) 2nd place console though...no doubts

but wii will become the victor....some PS3 owners feel sales will suddenly stop for the wii and end at 70 million.....but that makes no sense at all as wii is not a fad...thats proven now.

The "wii series" is too wii like "Pokemon" was to Gameboy


INteresting.  Well I've not ruled out a PS3 1st place chance.  Although many people like to classify me as a Nintendo fanboy, I'm hardly it.  I'm just very real with people which sometimes can be harsh.

But anyways there is a possibility of PS3 getting first.  Yet it would be a very close first place.  First, 360 needs to stop selling, almost immediately.  Fall off in America, like it has been, and start falling again in Europe/Other.  This is the only way that PS3 could have enough userbase to get close to where Wii might end up at.  Secondly Wii needs to start slowing down.  Not now but somewhere in 2009.  Needs a shift in public perception.  (Hell if hardcore gaming sites continue to post bullshit about Wii being a shitty console with no good games whatsoever that could do it).  Thus this fall off would slowly start to take the Wii down and have it's ending sales end up somewhere about 70-80 million.  Yes I believe that is probably the minimum Wii will sell this generation.  Last piece of the puzzle is PS3 needs to be the one taking over those sales.  Take over the popular brand and come back in the American and E/O markets(Japan market is over, Wii has got that one in the bag).  Then PS3 over a long period of time(8 yrs), will probably end up on top, but barely.  This is the only scenario I see.  Probability... not too high but it is possible.  

But yea I more see the first idea where Wii goes to about 100 million, PS3 about 50-60 million, and 360 more around 35-45 million.  This seems the most likely given the industry right now and how it's acted in the past.  Sorry to go off topic haha.
