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.

 

That would represent about a 50% increase in console sales. Pretty amazing.
