Fresh numbers. Here we go!

By the end of 2008:

------------
Wii gets 48% market share 44.3 million units sold
Xbox 360 gets 27% market share 25 million units sold
PS3 gets 25% market share 23 million units sold
------------

This means the following must happen (approx numbers as of July 1)
------------
Wii must sell: 44.3 - 28.8 = 15.5 million units / 6 months = 2.58 million/mo avg.
360 must sell: 25 - 19.5 = 5.5 million units / 6 months = 0.92 million/mo avg.
PS3 must sell: 23 - 14 = 9 million units / 6 months = 1.5 million/mo avg.

------------


Okay, so with the holiday season coming we can see higher sales figures coming as well. The 360 getting nearly 1 million per month average? Unlikely, but possible. The Wii getting 2.58 million per month average? It seems pretty high, but again possible. The PS3 getting 1.5 million per month average? What on God's green earth would cause that?
