PS3 - 16.5 Million

Wii - 16 Million

XBox360 - 13.5 Million


My Wii prediction might be the best one.

Your PS3 will be closer. Wii is gonna ship something like 12m~ this calendar year, so dunno how 16 sell through is achieveable even with slight overshipping last Q4.

Predict the system sales for all systems in 2011. This includes sales from January 2011 to December 2011 and also counts next week...the week ending January 1st. Also feel free to predict sales of the PSP2 but I won't as I don't know what it is yet!

Handhelds

PSP__5 Million

DS__18.3 Million

3DS__20.5 Million

Home Systems

XBox 360__14 Million

PS3__15.4 Million

Wii__21.8 Million

 

What do you think?


I will admit that my predictions were terrible but in my defence, I made these predictions before the Wii U was known about. I honestly thought that Nintendo was going to continue with the Wii with a Price Cut, many quality games, possibly a new model, and Vitality Sensor. Instead Nintendo announced their plans to act like the Wii never existed, release nearly no games, release a crap new model, and kill Vitality Sensor. 

 

As for the 3DS...I thought that Nintendo was going to have good launch games, and continue to support it throughout the whole year. I expected Mario Kart sooner, as well as Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Revelations and many others. Instead, Nintendo decided to slap a big price tag on the 3DS with a terrible launch lineup, and didn't support the System at all until Late 2011...

 

Anyway, my predictions are still funny LOL!



it's very hard to be accurate when you don't know what's roud nthe corner.

Necro-bumping this for the giggles. How many of us had the PS3 ahead of the Wii in 2011? It seemed unlikely when we predicted it then, just like our predictions of the PS3 eventually passing the Wii in lifetime sales seem unlikely - but it will happen.

lol... sure. PS3 peaked last year. Now it'll sell, what, 11 million this year? It's on its way out. Even if it drops only 2 million each year, it'll sell:

2013 -- 9 mil -- 81 mil total
2014 -- 7 mil -- 88 mil total
2015 -- 5 mil -- 93 mil total
2016 -- 3 mil -- 96 mil total
2017 -- 1 mil -- 97 mil total

This is giving the console a ridiculous benefit of the doubt. Consoles don't fade that slowly. Even on Sony's 10-year plan, it won't pass the Wii.
