Avinash, you're kidding yourself if you think Wii is going to sell like that.

And also, the 78 thing was a typo, I'll change it, it was supposed to be 58.

Tell me that when Wii is still hard to find ayear from now

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)

TEN YEARS!?!??!?!?

Sorry, I know I have to respect your opinion, but I made it VERY clear in another post that 10 years is IMPOSSIBLE.

The PS2 will probably make it 10 years, and it does not have the advantage of being the best BD player out there.

CPU wise, I doubt the next MS box will surpass the PS3 (it's even possible the PS4 will use the CELL). The only real limitation for years is memory, and the PS2 is chugging along with what little it has.

The fact that the Wii is doing so well is why I think the PS3 will have such a long life. Right now the people who buy the PS3 want the most technologically advanced games, the people buying the Wii want fun games at the expense of visuals. They find more value in less tech for less money.

I think the market that the Wii is excelling in, the PS3 will take over in 4-5 years.

After doing some math, nintendo needs to increase their production up to two million a month to reach 150 million, which isn't unlikely, so I'll need to change my prediction.

I'm guessing they'll increase it to 2.0 this year in June, 2.3 next year, and 2.6 the summer after next, so around 180 million-200 million*.

*Rough estimates

Wii - 100-120 million
X360 - 50 million
PS3 - 45 million

Note: putting the X360 below 40 mill is ridiculous, like I've seen some ppl do. At a price of $350 in two years it sold 16.5 mill already! 8 mill in 2007. This year will be no different. Or wait... it has huge price dropping potential, that the PS3 doesn't have. 10 mill X360s in 2008. And then you've got 2009, 2010 and 2011 before the generation is over.

Rol is probably the most faithful of all posters on VGChartz.

I Blame Wii Fit!

I think Avi had a bad influence on me. I predicted that Wii would sell 42M after 08. Now I think the Wii will sell 200M + lifetime, I've lost my mind...

You're predicting that the PS3 and 360 will only sell 10-20 million more?

Is this to not contradict your prediction?
