skunkish, you can't determine anything. The Wii could go on until 2014 as long as Nintendo keeps the innovation. You won't need to bring out a new console.

London Calling, same with you. Are you guys predicting Wii death out of desperation or something?

p.s. skunkish, switch your ps3 and wii lifetime sales around. Then you got it right.



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

I'll stick with my 80 million for Wii.

Everyone will be playing Wii 2 by 2012.



yes, 2012 will be 6 years later, so wii2 will be out...as will 720 and ps4

however, by 2012, wii will have sold over 120mil consoles...and then even when wii2 is out, wii will continue to sell, prolly better than ps2 has since ps3 due to its even more casual orientation and appeal to non-gamers

skunk, how do u see wii sales going?

it's a foregone conclusion that wii will hit 40+mil in 2008...u think in 2009/2010/2011/2012 it can't sell more than another

You are probably right that everyone will be playing Wii2 by 2012.
But they will also be playing PS4 and Xbox Ultimate (or whatever the 360's successor is).

Once a Profile 2 BlueRay player sinks below the PS3 price, sales of that unit will decrease.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Hmmm ... let see about 360.
RPG fans in 2008 can play Lost Odyssey and Fable 2, Spectral Force 3, Sacred 2, Tales of Vesperia and many more are coming - good for RPG fans.
Hack and Slash fans will enjoy Too human and Ninja Gaiden II, good news for them too.
Thriller fans will have Alan Wake and Dead Island.
Stealth games lovers - don't cry for MGS 4. You can play Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction and in my opinion Splinter Cell series are better.
RTS fans - Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath, Universe at War, Supreme Commander, Halo Wars, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. Good year for RTS fans.
I'm skipping games like Banjo-Kazooie 3, Theseis and goes to ... FPS. So how about FPS fans like me? Yes I know Gears 2 is coming, but Gears 2 is third-person shooter! Where are my exclusive FPSs? What? Only Left 4 Dead? Damn I choose Xbox because of FPS and there are no good exclusive FPS! I enjoy 2007 - a huge year for 360, but 2008 is going to disappoint me

PS3 FPS fans can choose from Kill Zone 3, Resistance 2 and Haze
I hope Warhound will made it in 2008. White Gold: War in Paradise looks like Far Cry, but nobody can say how good will be.



Well, I'm not really sure about that, there are some truly massive hits bound for the HD consoles this year and first party titles on the Wii can only carry it so far.

I think I'm gonna go with 360 actually, followed by PS3 due to tremedous Eu/Others sales (and NA sales for 360). Anyway, I'm no expert, but I'd say the HD consoles have the better hand this year, at least as far as software is concerned.

'sits and awaits some random dude to come tell my why my logic is faulty and how I'm wrong, despite me not caring.'  



The Wii obviously, with the PS3 most likely taking 2nd while 360 falls to 3rd.
