Wii: 150m+
360: 25-35m
PS3: 20-30m

? I'm losing my faith in you Rol...


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


 First off; I never had that much faith in Rol... Second; his PS3 and 360 numbers are sheer lunacy. I know just as well as you that the Wii will sell the most this gen, but those numbers are... no good.

I will bet that at least 1/4 of the people who bought the PS3 have only used it for Blu-Ray.

I'm pretty sure Blu-Ray is going to sell 15-20 million PS3s, and Blu-Ray total will sell 125 million players by the end of 2018.

Blu-Ray isn't the driving force though, it is the extra nudge that will make people shell out money for it.

 You're assuming that the 1/4 ratio will remain, look at the PSP, even as a media player its sales will top out under 50 million and its a stronger seller than PS3

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

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

Is this to not contradict your prediction?


Try reading that again dtewi.


I think I got it now. He's probably talking about my signature prediction.

Yes I got that at first... I was trying to point out to Dtewi that you Rol, being a clever sort, would not predict two contradictory things at the same time.



the 150+ or even 200+ million wii is very likely if stupid nintendo increases production....how stupid they are.... :p

Blu-Ray adoption is going to increase sales Garcian. And with the combination of triple AAA games and a low price, it can sell 60 million.

People aren't going to buy a PS3 for Blu-ray dewi, they'll buy a cheaper blu-ray player seperately

 

 


 Ironic that that's the only reason get a PS3 according to the site's Wii fans, including yourself.

Actually I assume it will increase.

 Yeah at the moment its one of the cheaper blu-ray players, how long do you think that will last?

 So then the PS3 will top out lower as very few people buy it for games an only like 10-20 mil will be bought for Blu-ray meaning that it will top out around 40 million max like I said
