You just cant admit Im usually correct about my predicitions. I was off for the ps3 WW sales being at 400k, they are going to be 440-450k :D

 Weren't you predicting Wii would die out by now?

 

Also your 33 million for Wii by end of next year is already obsolete, since they are already at 19 million +, just so you know, 13 million will be child's play



 

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)

One thing I noticed over the past week was how many 'amazing' deals there were on PS3 systems for Boxing Day; if you were considering buying a PS3, the fact that you could buy a 40GB model, HDMI cable and either a controller or game for (roughly) $370 probably sealed the deal for quite a few people. In Contrast, I didn't see any particularly good deals on the 360 at all.

In other words, I wouldn't assume that the 360's relative drop was based entirely on people wanting the PS3 more in-general as much as the PS3 was a better 'deal' over the past week.

No that was kwaad, I said I really cant predict what would happen with the wii.

 By some weird reason all sony fanboys are predicting the Wii to sell less in 08 than 07, despite the fact that the Wii it's going to have the biggest games, increased production, and a lot more of 3rd party support. Perhaps even a price cut and/or new SKUs

 I only saw one good deal for the 360 on boxing day, i think it was Best buy, packed in two more games with the forza bundle, it was halo3 and some other game.

You said the Wii would only sell as much as the gamecube, that's already been proven wrong in several regions.

 Yeah basically, even if sales dip (unlikely with Wii fit around) all they have to do is release a black Wii and it'll skyrocket

Prediction? Isn't that common sense? When you sell the least you are going to drop the least since you didn't have all that much to drop to begin with.
