Okay, now there's a lot of "end of gen" predictions floating around. Some seem to predict a total of 120M, and some people believe 550M is possible. This makes prediction comparisons fairly invalid.

So instead, I thought I would take a different approach.

1. How much do you believe the total sales for Wii, Ps3 and X360 (and anoter competitor if you want) will be when they have stopped selling.

2. How the market share will be between the consoles. Also write the total number next to it.

An example would be:

1. 280 Million.

2.

Wii - 80M - 28.5%

Ps3 -  70M - 25%

X360 - 130M - 46.5%

I might update with the average prediction for total sales, and average for each console, if the thread takes off.

The below is background information. You do not have to read this, but your prediction could be better if you do.

Last generation total sales: 175.7M

Ps2 - 120M - 68.3%

XB -  24.1M - 13.8%

GC -  21.5M - 12.2%

DC (estimated) - 10M -  5.7%

5th Generation total sales: 144.2M 

PS - 102.5M - 71.1%

N64 - 32.9M - 22.8%

Saturn - 8.8M  - 6.1%

4th Generation total sales:  82.1M

SNES - 49.1M - 59.8%

Genesis - 30.75M - 37.5%

Turbo Grafx - 2.24M - 2.7%

1. 310m

2.

Wii - 150m

PS3 - 110m

360 - 60m


Will add percentages later

1. - 275m

2.

360 - 65m

Wii - 150m

PS3 - 60m

1. 260M

2.

Wii - 110M - 42.3%

Ps3 -  100M - 38.4%

X360 - 50M  - 19.2%

Off-topic:

Awesome thread, a lot better than most of these.

hum ...

350M TOTAL

200M Wii
+
90M PS3
+
60M Xbox360

Hmmm...I would have to say:

Total for all 7th generation console hardware will be 250 million

Wii: 115 million

PS3: 75 million

X360: 60 million

Wii - 150 million

360 - 60 millon

Ps3 - 70 million

totatl - 280 million

i would have to say:

1. 290 million

2.Wii-120 million~41.38%
PS3-120 million~41.38%
360-50 million~17.24%

nice thread by the way. really cool!

Id have to go with eliasg's numbers they seem the most rational, and give th ehd consoles +/-5 million on either side and the wii +/-10 million

1. 275M

2.
Wii 200M 73%
PS3 40M 15%
360 35M 13%

All numbers are rounded, including percentages.
