Not close at all.

Compared with the previous gen I'd say this will end up pretty fucking close.

 

PS2 >150 mil

XB ~ 24 mil

 

THAT'S A 126 MILLION GAP!

LOL

How dare you both...forget about the Gamecube!!

PS2 = 150 mil

Gamecube = 21.74 mil

128.6 million gap!!

True, as always =)

Gamecube = 21.74 mil

128.26 million gap!!

 

Fixed :P



Wii now: 95 mill
2012: 8 mill
2013 and beyond: 7 mill
lifetime 110 mill

X360: 66 mill
2012: 12 mill
2013: 8 mill
2014 and beyond: 5 mill
lifetime: 91 mill

PS3: 62 mill
2012: 13 mill
2013: 11 mill
2014 and beyond: 12 mill
lifetime: 98 mill

So both HD consoles will narrow the gap to less than 20 mill. The PS3 might even get within 10 million because Sony are famous for their overlapping sales into a new console generation.

it depends on how well sony and microsoft support their old consoles when their new ones are released. we know sony will keep the ps3 going even after their next cosole is out. im pretty sure microsoft will keep supporting the 360 aswell. its actually possible both may end very close to the wii. also depends on where the wii rests. with the wii u releasing this year, i dont see the wii passing 115m.



Both will pass Wii with total lifetime sales.

Year Wii X360 PS3
2011 95 65 62
2012 101-102 80 76
2013 103-105 90-92 86-88
2014 106-107 98-100 94-98
2015 107-108 104-108 101-106

Assuming there will be any Wii shipments beyond 2013 at all.

Through if next xbox or ps4 is 300$ or cheaper at launch it could cripple sales of ps3/x360.

Rest will depend on how long Sony/MS keeps them on market as both have potential to sell beyond 2015 at 3-4 milions pace like PS2 is doing today.

360 and PS3 both have a planned 10 year life cycle apparently. So i'm guestimating both will be at least 10million behind the Wii by the end of it all. But we won't know for many years to come. Nice to see the video game industry thriving.



the difference will be just above 20m in the end, they are closing in at a very slow rate, and with the announcement of newer hardware their sales will drop



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

No they won't, the people picking up a PS3 and 360 now arnt the type that will wait for expensive new hardware ...
