After careful deliberation I can now post what will surely become a legendary prediction and analysis. This has not been something that I came to lightly. It is an honest breakdown of the sales trend given various variables, such as a price drop, future games, and of course eventual nextGen models.
First we can talk about the 360. I have drawn a similar trend to that of the xbox on year over year sales with the assumption that it will have an overall better LTD but will have another one year head start with the nextGen starting in 2011. It will continue to have a lot of quality games to support this 10m+ sales over the Xbox and that will be without those fake rumors of WiiMote ripoffs we have seen on various posts. As you can see from this chart by a year after its successor it will drop off significantly as the legions of fans say "haha" to the 360 and jump to the neXtBox.
Second is the Wii. This is probably the most surprising for you all, yet it makes the most sense. Even with this Nintendo are clearly not losers. The Wii's increadible charge will start to dissipate over the next 18 months as gamers really start to feel the loss over quality "hardcore" games, Superchunk included. Conduit will fail to ignite that spark that so many of us hope for as the othe 3rd parties just keep pushing PS360 which inevitably really helps PS3 greater than the 360. As the big games continue to roll out on other platforms and thier prices continue to reach mass consumer levels during late 2009 the Wii's unique appeal will level off to a Nintendo personal record of 90m. This will be by far better than any previous Nintendo home console, however far shy of what Playstation has been capable.
Lastly, we move on to the ten year plan realized PS3. Last year the PS3 with a modest price reduction, slew of quality games, and a reformatted platform had a massive year over year increase in sales. This happen again about halfway through 2009 when a new slew of great games, notably Final Fantasy, another $100 price drop with another round of hardware changes. Slim model anyone? These sales will stay steady for about 2yrs and that combined with Wii's leveling off period will catapault the PS3 back into a comfortable lead right into the nextGen. With the superior hardware and, by this time, larger library it will enable Sony to realize their 10yr plan putting the PS3's LTD right up their with PS2.
Now, I know many of you will flame me and attempt to belittle my solid arguement, especially RolStoppable, however, just take a step back for a moment and really look at what I have written here. Let the words sink in and you will realize that I am right. Flame suit ON!
