Wii will be on shelves longer than PS3. Same story for DS vs PSP.

does anyone know the % of men, women, chilren, old people who own wii's? whos buying these things?

Delusional for sake of ones bad opinion, nice.

The next PS3 cut is likely $100, unless they cut $50 this year.  A cut from 299 to 199 is a very natural one, it coudl happen thsi year.   

Br player with online and 3d sure as hell wont be anywhere near $60 in 2 years time. 

360 will soon come with Natal, which will add costs.  So give up on the $99 360 dream, hell the original xbox never even got near that.  Lowest price it got to was $150. 

hope your joking. if not then i have no reply as my brain has malfunctioned from what you just said,

Are all you forgetting Nin openly said they are working on their next hardware.

While both Sony and MS have said this will be longest gen ever, its clear neither is in any rush to start the next gen early. Both seem hell bent to milk this gen as long as possible.

Well i was here, and its still the same thing.

Foolish doubters proven wrong with time, over and over and over. 

People just don't ever learn.

The few who were convinced it would sell less than that were fools, but the possibility was there (and in a big way) through PS3s 2007 sales. Just like there is still a posibility it will not manage 50 million sales, and I would say an equal possibility it passes 90 million, but in all probability it will remain between those numbers (i'd say 70-75 million is a fairly good bet)

You also have to remember back then, at least into mid-2008, this website was still very Nintendo dominant, there are not many forum goers who actually look at the numbers properly before stating random targets... I find this website really good for avoiding the reams of internet trolls, but that doesn't stop it being full of deluded fans of all three consoles.

Here you go:

"No your comments are far more extreme compared to what I stated. Last year I stated that I believe the PS3 would start to outsell the Wiiglobally around christmas 2008 (so far I have been correct). This like I said back in 2006 that I believed the PS3 to outsell the 360 for christmas 2007 (with regard to which I was correct).

I'm not sure if I have to adjust this perspective considering the Final Fantasy and Killzone release shedule and so I leave my prediction as is for now."

Of course, when Killzone and Final Fantasy where out, it didn't start beating the Wii in those regions either (beyond individual bumps). And while the PS3 finally  did have a period being ahead of Wii iin Japan in 2009, it was more the Wii's decline than the PS3's gain.

well they did predict correctly for the PS2?

It has to be.  Especially after Viper1's post with their old predictions.  They predicted that the PS3 would break 120 million in 2005, and again in 2006.  Now that we have 3 years of data that basically proved that impossible, they didn't change their numbers?  How is that even "analysis" if the new data didn't change their conclusions whatsoever?

Well there are a few occasions when companies cut off products early, like when MS ditched the XBox to help jumpstart the XBox360 to get a headstart in this generation, or when the Saturn was awkwardly replaced with the DreamCast.  But outside of those, a product dies off when consumers decide to stop buying it, when more appealing competition comes along.  Sony could support the PS3 for a thousand years, but if one company could just support a console forever and consumers would keep buying it... then every company would do that, and we'd never have new generations of hardware.

Nintendo was still manufacturing and selling new Famicoms in Japan for 20 years, but that didn't boost the Famicom to 120 million sales.

They've all been working on their next hardware for years.  They all have whole hardware divisions that start working on their next console the second one launches.  But Nintendo is also hell bent on milking this gen as long as possible, because the Wii and DS are currently making more money than the XBox 360, PS3, PSP, and PS2 combined.  Why would Nintendo want to cut that short?
