All of these predictions are ridiculously stupid. I expect Moore from gamasutra.

Here's mine:

Wii u under 7m
Ps v discontinued
360 under 8m
DS 10m
Ps3 under 8.5m

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Somewhat agree with Christian about Wii U 3rd party support, with multiplat support I agree. I still think it will manage to snag some exclusives. Lego Ctiy Undercover is surprisingly has a decent amount of preorders and the sales for some of the multiplats currently on Wii U aren't that bad. I also still think the 3DS will get its 3rd party support in Japan. Most of the 3rd party games in the west just don't sell that good, it makes sense why a bunch of 3rd party games aren't localized.
