The wii will, definitely. It only needs to sell another few mil to, so it will likely reach it this year.

The 360 won't (selling below the Wii this time last year), and the PS3 MIGHT.

In 5 years, we'll be seeing:

Wii- 105-110mil
PS3- 96-101mil
360- 80-85mil



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

really now, how many consoles did the PS2 sell AFTER the PS3 was launched

the PS3 is a gaurentee the new model this late into the generation confirms that

Different situation.

PS2 didn't have strong competition and was a great option for those who didn't want to buy expensive next gen hardware. Sony basically owned that market.

The PS3 on the other hand has very strong competition. Don't expect PS3 to have legs like PS2 because of the Wii and 360.

wii is dead and the only thing keeping the 360's head above the water is the holiday kinect boost which isn't Sony's market

Actually I think the PS3 will last longer in developing countries than the ps2, once they start upgrading, becasue of how much more it adds, the established online network, free games and services, and dirt cheap yet high quality games,  the PS3 can go on indefinitely where the ps2 was only really viable becasue the ps3 was too expensive.

Wii isn't dead. It has room for price cuts and I think it'll still do pretty well for the next few years simply relying on its 1st party lineup.

Kinect isn't keeping the 360's, "head above water." Its allowing the 360 to maintain strong sales without relying on MASSIVE price cuts to stimulate sales. Which is why the 360 is actually profitable, while PS3...

I agree with your statment about PS3's lasting longer than PS2 because of the online related content. Digital downloads and streaming entertainment will keep the 360 and PS3 relevant for years to come, worldwide. Although, I hear internet access in developing nations is not so great or fast. They may be an obstacle.


How will further price cuts stimulate Wii sales in any significant fashion? It's currently $150 and I've seen sales starting at $99. That price isn't an issue for very many people. The Wii is selling terribly and it's successor launches in a few months. Also consider the fact that Nintendo quickly discontinues past gen hardware and they never have made any genuine effort to capture developing markets. I can not conceive any scenario in which it hinders the PS3's continuing sales success.

Ofcourse its doing terribly. You know Wii does best during the holidays. Which is when Just Dance 4 will launch!

I didn't say Wii is going to hinder the PS3's success per se. But I know it'll have some sort of impact because it simply exist, has a better casual library, and it'll always be a cheaper option.

your point was that competition well slow ps3 momentum

the wii has been selling like shit for the past 2 years now and has had NO effect on PS3 sales so as far at it being a competitor = DEAD

and yeah 360 does have solid sales that are lower than the ps3 sales which is about to get ANOTHER price cut and a redesign soooo....

and your with with those servies really getting better.....right when the ps4 is announced and ps3 becomes dirt cheap to phases out the ps2. Sony really couldn't have set that up any better....

i dont see how the wii will have continued success. its already dead, so why would its all of a sudden start showing legs when wii u is out? also ps3 and 360 are only going to go down in price, which wont help the wii. the wii is just too outdated now. nobody see's any value in it. the best wii can hope for is to top 105m units sold and even thats unlikely.

Price cuts and strong casual library. It'll surpass 105m. It shouldn't be far from that at the end of this year.

I'll agree the Wii is dead when it has really bad holiday sales.

 

the wii is unpredictable during the holidays yes, but this year theres WII U. i just think its gonna completely take away all of wii's sales. i've already stored away my wii and made space for the U! its so exciting when you get a new console.

Im surprised so many people doubt the ps3 wont

1. It hasn't hit $200 yet
2. Theres a redesign coming out this year and btw its ugly

and the biggest point
3. They just brought Gaikai

Point number 3 has probably added 25+ million to its sales



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

 jarrod said:The Xbox360 or ps3 will not sell more than 75million units

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

 2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

Who voted ps3 only. Saying wii is not going to get it is a joke. These people show there Biasism.
I'm a 360 fan, I voted Wii only. Highly unlikely they will hit 100 million. They might but it's going to be a hard run. I think they will hit just below or just over by the end of there run.


People vote X360 only too, i dont understand the logic but whatever lol.

 

OT: I think if all 3 consoles are supported after their new consoles are released, (multiplats coming for all) then all 3 will make it to 100m. I think main thing about sales after a next gen console is out is just the type of support it gets.

Did i say that logic was ok??? No, so the point you would bring that up proves what? that they are stupid too, When I posted there where no 360 votes yet.

Nice negativity. I was saying I dont understand the logic in people voting for either choice, since the wii will most definitely get 100m. Don't get so angry at random comments.



xLeftyx on 17 July 2012

I'm sure it's already been explained above, but only Wii will make 100m.



slowmo on 17 July 2012

Neither the PS3 or 360 will, people are vastly underestimating how much the new generation will cause as a drop off in sales. I'd also point out that it's very very unlikely we'll ever see a PS3 at much less than $200. They will not be able to shave anymore cost off the CPU and GPU so that leaves the rest of the console to claw back cost or they're going to have to take a hit on profit. The 360 just doesn't have enough support in all regions to get close, I'd estimate it finishes up around 85 million with the PS3 having a chance at 90 million if the PS4 launches 2014.

Wii of course will hence my poll choice of just the Wii.
