Depends if the 7.6 million is correct or not by the analyst how was predicting Nintendo was going to reduce the shipments to that. The 2million units the Wii pushed out were because of supply constraints because coming off the Gamecube who would of thought the Wii would take off like that.

I believe the Wii U will be sold out through the holidays. So the only issue of Wii U vs PS3 is how many units get shipped.

On a side not WalMart is now taking "preorders" in their layaways at their physical locations. I just nabbed one this morning they started yesterday. It seems at most places they are only offering the Deluxe version. So $47 down gets you one.

In canada? If so, man im going to go preorder mine tomorrow. I have been waiting for so long



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

The 360.

WiiU will be supply constrained. MS will make the $50 promotion permanent.

If Sony doesn't match the 360 in price, I think they are DOA.

A new COD game will sell more systems for the PS3 and 360 than any exclusive either they have to offer.

PS3 will win. Wii U will sell less than the 3DS did at launch but since its launching in the holidays I"d say it could match it or sell a little more. Still no match for PS3 though.

How can the PS3 be DOA? It's been 6 years since launch lmfao.
The PS3 has ALWAYS been more expensive than the 360 and that didn't stop it from taking the lead in Europe and Japan.

probably wii-u just because it's new. No other reason.

If you don't understand what I meant, then don't worry about it.

Sorry for double post, bad day!!

I hope its the Wii U as a good launch might spur Sony and Microsoft into action. I believe ultimately there will be shipment issues though and strength in Europe will mean the PS3 finishes ahead.
