You people HATE THE PLAYSTATION 3. Well what do you expect? Sony destroyed nintendo twice in a row, you dont want them to have a chance in doing it agan.

Don't blame me. I predict the PS3 is selling more than X360 next year. Also look at my crazy prediction for DMC.



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

my prediction :
- ps3 will pick up and 360 significantly decline except in USA where is will sell on par with ps3 most of the year. Ps3 will still struggle before critcal mass of hits around mid-08
- wii will own 90% of ww sales but will finish the way flat.
- PSP will continue to sell as a good mediaplayer
- God of War 3 and new footage of Killzone 2 will rock E3 this year, along with a brand new FFXIII trailer based on ingame footage.
- Nintendo will reveal a new peripheral, but not as mass market as wiifit or the wiimote.
- 360 will be erased from the land of the rising sun
- take 2 will be bought, either by Ubisoft or by Activision.
- Konami will face tremendous financial problem as not able to deliver in oct 08 THE PES version fans have been waiting for.

Around the Network

1: Wii 2008: 27 million, (accumulated total 45.5 million)

2: Wii will catch X360 in America at the end of February.

3: End of 2008: #1 Wii, #2 X360 (26m), #3 PS3 (17m), as usual.



Wii code: 4679-4491-5808-6319,MKWii: 4296-3394-2843; Animal Crossing Wii: 3008-1736-4670.

 

The Wii will continue to dominate.

 The 360 will make it tougher for the PS3 to catch up as the first quarter has a few exclusive titles that will move consoles (Ninja Gaiden II).

 MGS4 won't be as big a seller as Konami and Sony think.

 The PS2 will be discontinued sometime towards middle or end of 2008.

  



Now Playing: Crysis 2

Last Finished: BulletStorm

Online IDs: PSN: computermaximus, XBL: computermaximus

Well I think

Wii domination ends after febraury.

PS2 will NEVER be discontinued, and we will see a $129.99 X360.

I don't believe that. Successful consoles live long time. I think the PS2 will not be dicontinued before 2010.

 Exactly what do you mean? That Wii won't be number one in world wide weekly console sales in March?
