You are crazy, Sony's Playstation division won't even be around in 2009. I think it is unlikely that you will see 2M PS3's sold in Japan by the end of 2008. http://www.korexz.com/2006/11/28/here-wii-go/ and here: http://www.korexz.com/2006/12/22/here-wii-go-update/ After all Sony is competing with PS2 for sales of the PS3. People that have a 360 or Wii for the most part are not looking to buy a PS3.
That and Wii will probably be at 6 million U.S. and 3 million EUR by January 2007
Lifetime Sales Prediction - 6/29/2013
Wii U - 38 million
XBOX One - 88 million
Playstation 4 - 145 million
360 '07 sold will be similar to '06. Thus, Jan 2008 will see 18m sold. Jan 2009 will see 26m sold. PS3 is doing worse than 360 did, and will probably continue to do so, considering it is already plentifull in stores and most of it highest selling games are now on 360 as well. THus, Jan 2008 will see 8m and Jan 2009 will see 18m Wii will continue to be hard to find through March/April of '07. More 3rd party devs = better hardware sells. Plenty of great sellers lined up this year. Thus Jan 2008 will see 16m sold Jan 2009 will see 32m sold. (Just like the DS!!)
All of you who say the PS3 is doing horrible, and it's going to fail... look at this. http://www.vgcharts.org/japconscomps.php?name1=PS3&name2=PS2&type=0&align=0 other than the 1million launch units diffrence. they are not selling that much diffrent in japan. The Wii is blowing the GC out of the water in true monthly numbers... but it's still within range of failure. The N64 sold better on it's first year than the PS1 sold on it's first year. Launch games make a diffrence. Innovation makes a diffrence. The Wii has both of those. the N64 did over the PS1. Then a year later... the N64 had nothing new, and the PS1 was evolving. the PS1 blew the N64 out of the water. the PS2, never had competition. the GC was usless, as Nintendo didnt even make any of their 'true' games untill after the market gave up on it. the Wii has a launch like the N64. if it's like the N64, it will battle with the PS3 this year, and then when everyone see's there's nothing comming. the PS3 will win. agian. The N64 outsold the PS1 in japan weekly (most of the time) for almost a year. http://www.vgcharts.org/japconscomps.php?name1=PS&name2=N64&type=0&align=0 Then look what happend. http://www.vgcharts.org/japconscomps.php?name1=PS&name2=N64&type=0&align=0 look at the GC vs PS2. There is a big diffrence yes. But look at what happens after a year. BOOM. no sales for the GC agian. Who is to say nintendo wont follow their console trend. Sell awosome. make 100$ on each unit. who cares if it's a succes in long term. Nintendo makes their money selling hardware. If you bought one. Your the one that gets hurt. (I bought 2) The American numbers favor the PS more than the Nintendo.

Kwaad you don't understand one thing : The real console's health meter is software sales not hardware sales !!! Go look if N64'software sales was better than Ps1's in Japan or USA. N64 had vast Nintendo's best selling titles but not the software stream of Ps1 for many reason cited by Aston. Wii JAp launch is very good because Wii software sales are great ( Wii sports is a Killer App ). Ps3 JAp launch is very bad because Ps3 software sales are low ( Ps3 Jap Top seller ? RR7 with 120K units ).

Pfff! what very poor statments, (fanboy...), (insane...), obviously i mean Nintendo can fake the japan but not Europe or US. PS3 is the most expensive 'based multiplataform system games' ever made, (they costs the same than a decent PC gaming).
