Anyone has a link to the leo-j thread about GTA4 and Wii sales?

That topic is the most epic thread ever.

Didn't a certain JohnLucas say 60m Wiis by the end of '08?

Yeah, and he'll most likely be wrong. By how much depends on whether Nintendo increases production again before Christmas or not. I'm thinking around 45 million.

"PS2 is at 130 million at the moment and is still selling so it will do 150 million. I don't think PS3 can reach this number."

Yes, the PS2 is still selling, but is the console with the lowest numbers every month now. It will not sell another 3 million dude.

Why don't you use some logic and some math, instead of just guessing or wishing?

you sure about that?!

To illustrate why the All vs. by-region comparison for PS2 vs. PS3 is skewed:

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156
http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=America&cons2=PS3&reg2=America&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156
http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Europe&cons2=PS3&reg2=Europe&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156

The only region where the PS3 is even coming close to tracking equally to the PS2 is in Europe. And it's still a million behind par.

Rockon's predictions, crazyman's “logic”, Ps3 hitting 100mil, Wii to double the Ps2's userbase, Wii to be last in 08.

I think a link to the topic where John Lucas said that is in order, ameratsu. That's a bit too outlandish even for him to be credible without proof.
