 lol, nope in order to do that PS3 would have to sell 12 million, 360 6 million and Wii only 17 million, there is no way that will happen, first off PS3 selling 12 million is near impossible (231 K per week is more than they can sell, considering Japanese sales will be below 30K and NA around 60K per week)


You dont think the ps3 can sell 4M more units in 08?  In 07 in managed 8.5m and it had bearly anygames, and costed $500 for most of the year.  In 08 it is already gonna start at $400 and will probably see a price cut later in the year.  It will also have a very strong 08 line up.  I think it will be able to sell 12M easily.


 No it only managed around 6.5 million in 2007, it will not double its sales in 2008


It said predictions for 08 not predicitons for the end of its 2nd year.  So that would include the holidays.


 So 7.5 million including the holidays, PS3 won't sell much more than that in 2008, at most 10 million, and that is a stretch

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

1st of all this holiday season isnt over.  It will be well over 8M after this week.  It did not even have one full year in europe.  Also this year it will be cheaper and will have more games.  It will sale 10M for next year at the very least.


 You're telling me PS3 will sell 1.5 million in two weeks, 750 K a week, doubtful, that would beat even their european launch week figures for two weeks, not likely, also PS3 won't have spikes like that to boost up its sales, its games will sell mostly to those who own a PS3 already, 200K a week WW average is unlikey for the PS3 so I don't think it'll reach 10 million

 Nah, I won't flame an insane person (PS3 selling 22 million in a year is the equivalent of dividing by zero)

If it is at 7.75m now then it only needs 250k in one week to pass the 8m mark.(duh)  Most weeks will be under 200k a week but it will have spikes that allow an average of about 200k a week for WW very possible.  (price cuts, games, new sku, and holidays of course.)


 Its not at 7.75 for 2007 (you do realize it launced in 2006 right), its at 6.5 million for 2007, your argument is flawed, it will not sell 12 million in 2008

Once again it did not ask for the consoles 2nd year sales but predicitons for all of 08. To start with 08 you need to end all of 07 not just where its 1st year ends. It is at 7.75 and yes that is with a year and a couple of months but also realize that the ps3 launch in NA was very supply constrained. This is its 1st real holiday season.

 You're saying it will sell 12 million in 2008, it won't even sell 8 million in 2007 and you think it will sell 12 milliion in 2008, not going to happen, it may have been constrined at launch, but it hasn't been constrained in 2008, it is in well supply, and it won't reach 8 million for the year, 12 million is not possible, 10 is possible but a stretch

Well end of year is obvious add 1M for wii - 18M
add .5M for 360 =15.5M
and .5M for Ps3 =8.25M
expect 2008 Wii will sell another 18M =36M (production limited and wont increase
because any new produnction facility would be for the Wii2 )
X360 will do 9M = 25M ,
360 is loosing europe and japan,and FPS shooter market is allready saturated !, and pull slightly higher sales than 2007 should hold 2nd spot due to it's early lead over PS3
PS3 will do 14M = 22M,
cheaper model and momentum gain as console matures and wins more Ps2 upgrade market.

 14 million is impossible for PS3, 270K a week WW average won't happen, let me put it to you this way, Wii so far has sold 14 million in 2007, PS3 won't match that next year, not even close
