Realistic ranges for the three consoles at this point are something like:
Wii - 70-170 million
PS3 - 50-80 million
360 - 35-60 million
The upper limit of hardware sales this generation is probably about 300 million, and I think 220-260 million is realistic. Europe is becoming a big videogame market, and it has 700 million+ people, which means theoretically it could support 100 million consoles on its own given the similarities in wealth to Japan and the USA/Canada...if China and India become enthralled with any of the consoles than your talking another 10-40 million easily, more once console gaming gets more accepted in those countries.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
