Wii-45 million
360-30 million
PS3-30 million
These are through 2011 lowest predictions for each console.
Nintendo Wii-
Worst Case Scenario: 55 million
This is if sales of Wii do not continue on a hot streak as casual interest drops in Wii after 2-3 years and price drops of other two make them seem more reasonable to buy.
Expectation: 65 million
High end: 90 million (if PS3 never picks up and 360 remains only a strong seller after price drops and at holidays)
Xbox 360-
Worst Case Scenario: 40 million
This is if Xbox 360 sales do not get a huge rise except for short periods after price cuts and during holidays and remain stagnant the rest of the months of the year.
Expected: 48 million
High End: 55 million (If 360 becomes the hardcore gamers' mainstay for the rest of the generation in US and Europe and PS3 price drops never make enough of a change for it to catch up)
PS3-
Worst Case Scenario: 40 million
This is if the PS3 price cut doesn't come before 07 holidays and FF XIII doesn't sell as well in Japan as the first FF games of each of the previous generations have.
Expected: 55 million.
High End: 65 million.
This is if sales in Japan pick up significantly with the release of FF XIII and other future FF and Gran Turismo games. If it drops to a pricepoint consistently within 100 dollars of 360 in the US and if HD adoption increases in at the rate that it is foreseen now.

I know this is stupid but I´d like to predict the predictions, lets see
PS3, about 35-40
360, about 25-30
Wii, about 40-50
I hope I´m not way off

My worst case scenario for each console
X360 - 25 million - performs the same as xbox. Red Ring of death numbers releasead (20%) and M$ can not solve the faulty hardware problem. Wii and PS3 cuts their price at the same time and M$ can not do the same (8 billion in loses). Too many FPSs keeps consumers away (even hardcore).
PS3 - 20 million - M$ buys all the third party support. Wii sells at 6:1 ratio. Sony gives up in 2010 (thanks to shareholders) and starts working on PS4.
Wii - 60 million - third parties refuse to support Nintendo just like in GC era. Wii can not shake off the kiddy and casual only stigma. Games for hardcore are Nintendo only.

I think the red ring numbers are higher than that (much higher) and that's why MS will never say them...

Average minimum expectation for each console:
Wii - 57.6 million
Xbox 360 - 34.73 million
Playstation 3 - 29.3 million
The first post (by me) was 50 million for Wii, 35 million for 360, and 40 million for PS3..interesting.
