IIRC the projected Wii shipment is 18 million which means it has 3.11 millions to go.

EDIT: beaten and wrong :(

The PS360 both had a magnificent year.

Sorcery is looking `really good.... Looks like it will have the zelda feel to it.... Which i will love

PS3 15M -  3.9 million to go. And others? Can someone remebers the predictions numbers. Wii = 17.5M - 2.6 million to go.   Cool. Looks like Nintendo will be over it prediction with Wii and Sony will be match (shipped numbers) with PS3.

After adjustments have taken place I expect WIi to miss out by about 1.5M.  making it rouggly 86.5M - 87M end of march 31st.

Actually, considering these are sold to customer numbers and Sony are going by shipped numbers, as well as these sold numbers may be off, Sony is looking pretty safe at exceding their prediction by maybe 300K- 500K.  I mean if these are correct numbers, Sony's shipped would be ~13.1 mil (at least last time there was a 2 mil difference), or 1.9 mil to go.  If they pull off a similar number from last year Q4, 2.2  mil, that would put them at 15.3 mil.  I think Sony can pull it off. 

And yea, Wii should definitely excede their prediction by maybe 1 mil.  Well, unless the Wii just drops off or VGC has overtracked it greatly.

I think 360 was getting ass ploughed before Slim release and then had a few months breath until september ish time when it started to get ploughed again, but the holidays turned the tables around completely, so it is surprising how much the gap has been closed for the year, but yeah, too early to comment without the official numbers.

What's amazing about those numbers isn't that is sold over 4 million more in sales then the previous year,  but that it did it during the worse economy in American history since the great depression. Imagine what it will do once the economy recovers in America.

Well we've just found out why no price cut for 2010, they ran close to being completely out of consoles. I don't think the recovery would be worth more than 5% of the overall YTD sales, analysts obsessed over the recession because they deal in percentage changes which are usually between -20% and 20% increase or decrease so that would make up a large proportion of any change, but not against the overall sales numbers.

Anyway next year they'll probably cut the price though it depends on their priorities. That and Kinect throughout the year ought to see them to a pretty strong year and their finish ought to remain strong against the previous quarters sales as well.

The only problem with the recession is that it's not going to get better instantly, so we will never see a huge jump in sales as if 2.5 million Amerixan all of a sudden got their jobs back. It'll be gradual. Microsoft started running out of Kinects just after the holidays ended. They were restocking shelves every week all the way up to X-Mas day. So there are probably some shortages in varies areas of the country. There's no doubt Microsoft will do another price cut this year, especially if Sony does.
