Alright, I like predicting and though I was probably the worst predictor that VGC has ever seen last year...maybe 2012 will be different so here it goes:

PSP: 4.9 Million
DS: 5.1 Million
PSV: 8.7 Million
3DS: 34.6 Million
Wii: 8.9 Million
PS3: 13.7 Million
360: 15.1 Million
Wii U: 5.7 Million

I might make more predictions later!

I think you misplaced the 2 for a 3...otherwise 0_o

2DS: 34.6 Million

Yes, now it works: a 2D version of 3DS will sell like hot cakes to old Ninty fans!

Why is everyone laughing at my 3DS prediction? I think that mine is less laughable than the ones predicting under 20 Million.

Plus, I am serious...34 Million!

Ps3- 13.4 million. I have a gut feeling that sony have something up there sleaves. Whether its a new slimmer model, color versions for america or another 50 dollar pricecut... thats my guess..

Xbox 360- 13.4 million. Pricecut this year will help through the first half of the year, but i truly expect holiday bundles to not be as kickass as this year...

Wii- 7 million... with the wiiu coming its gonna steal the show

Wii u- no prediction.. i have to waite to see what launch price will be..

3ds- 16 million.. its huge right now theres no stopping it

Vita- 6 million. I know sounds low but the memory cards, pricing of games have turned many people off including me. Which is a shame cause it looks so kewl..

Twisted metal- lifetime 2 million
sorcery- 1.5 to 2 million
the last of us- 4 million
halo 4- 8 million

In order to get that many sales it must be doing as well as Sports Champions (without the bundles).
As far as I'm not mistaken, EyePet is with 920k the 2nd best selling move exclusive by far. Will be quite hard for Sorcery to even get a million lifetime IMO.

OT: Will add my predictions later. Not feeling too well right now to do proper research.

Ok here goes!

360 - 15M - 2012 will be 360's biggest year proppeled by Kinect. Next fall MS will release a new edition of the Xbox with Kinect, new price, new dashboard and will be sold as a media hub for the family. Will be mostly popular in USA but will get some attention in EU.

PS3 - 12M - PS3 will get another price cut to counter the Wii U and new 360 but will fail to get attention in the US, will sell greatly in EU and Asia like usual.

Wii - 8M - People will start to get away from the Wii as Kinect and Wii U will get the most advertizing in America.

200k boost for 360 at the release of Star Wars Kinect.
