yes it will outsell last gwen,even though some owners rebought ps2 which helped it in sales,but still it will outsell last gen
tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"
Realistic ranges for the three consoles at this point are something like:
Wii - 70-170 million
PS3 - 50-80 million
360 - 35-60 million
The upper limit of hardware sales this generation is probably about 300 million, and I think 220-260 million is realistic. Europe is becoming a big videogame market, and it has 700 million+ people, which means theoretically it could support 100 million consoles on its own given the similarities in wealth to Japan and the USA/Canada...if China and India become enthralled with any of the consoles than your talking another 10-40 million easily, more once console gaming gets more accepted in those countries.

That would represent about a 50% increase in console sales. Pretty amazing.
Systems Owned (in order of purchase)
NES, Genesis, SNES, N64, Xbox, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3
| thekitchensink said: Simple answer: Definitely. The 360, at 2.5 years, will likely outsell the 2nd- and 3rd-place consoles of last gen this year, despite being out 1.5 years and 2.5 years less, respectively. PS3 will likely accomplish this sometime in the middle of next year, as well. Wii has ALREADY outsold both 2nd- and 3rd-place consoles last gen. At the rate the Wii is going, it will (AT THE VERY LEAST) match the PS2, as it's sold more than the PS2 for this point in its' life despite the outrageous shortages. Even if demand dies down, they still have many, many trump cards to play, such as new colours, third-party support increasing pretty much daily, better advertising for the bigger games, and, as a last resort (gasp!) a price drop! My prediction still stands. Xbox 360: 50-65 million Playstation 3: 50-65 million Wii: 150+ million Those are my high predictions for PS360, and my mid-range prediction for Wii. I strongly believe Wii will accomplish this task on its' own, and the other two will be a nice supplement. |
Your predictions are well off.
End of lifespan projected sales
Wii = 150 million.
PS3 = 120 million.
X360 = 40 million.
It's already on track to do so, so I'd venture to say it will.
This gen will pass 200 million no problem, i'm guessing around 230million.
