11) MGS4 will not come to the Xbox 360, and will not be announced for the Xbox 360

 

And yet there will be at least one rumor a month stating otherwise.

 

Kojima: My favourite animal is the crocodile

EuroGamer: Kojima has said his favourite animal is the crocodile, which is green.

Fanboys: The 360 power button is green! MGS4 COMING TO X360!

1. HW for PS3: 42-45 mln.,

 

haahahaahahaahahah! Even Santa can't grant this wish :(

What if on 1st January 2009 Sony announces that the PS3 is getting a $200 price cut and will be $199 from 2nd January? Sales would skyrocket! Oh, and it has to keep all of its features intact (HDD, Cell, Blu-ray, etc.)

Impossible? SO IS MGS4 COMING TO THE 360!

Two more related to Wii Sports Resort:

22) Gran Turismo 5 will have a bigger opening week than Wii Sports Resort.

23) Wii Sports Resort will not sell anywhere near what its prequel has sold, due to it not being bundled with all Wiis in NA and EU.

I'll edit them into the OP.

If the price cut happens and the demand really goes up, the production for PS3 would need to jump from 12 mil a year to 22-25 mil a year... highly unlikely unless Sony already got all the production line ready

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Keep predicting, everyone!

i predict the 360 will outsell the ps3 buy a half a million next year
Halo wars will sell 2 million
fable 2 will have sold 4.2 million by years end
a new xbox arcade will be announced
halo 4 officially announced.



Here's some from me:

1) Nintendo will announce at least two self-published (if not developed) core games (as I define them) this year.

2) The Wii supply will meet demand (has to happen 'ventually, right?), which will result in a new price structure for the Wii this holiday (either a price cut, or a "value added" Wii).

3) Sony will try to eek out a profit as long as it can, so there will be no price cut until after E3, and probably not until October. This will keep sales stagnant, but shore up Sony's bottom line.

4) MS will prepare for a PS3 price cut with the 360slim. They will again repackage their systems, and essentially cancel the Arcade in favor of a $199 Premium. Expect a revelation at or just prior to E3.

5) The will be a WiiPlus Light Saber game shown at some point.

6) The Conduit will be the Wii's Little Big Planet - sales will be fine, but still disappoint fans who are expecting blockbuster status.

7) Final Fantasy 13 and God of War 3 will not see 2009. Neither will the next Mario Wii platformer.

8) Rumors will begin to swirl about the first next gen console. Hints may be dropped at E3, but there will be no official announcements made until 2010.

9) Capcom will announce a Resident Evil game for the Wii - and not a port of RE5.

10) Nintendo will finish the year with over 70m sold, but will not quite hit a 55% market share. The PS3 will fail to reach 30m, and the 360 will be within 1m of 36.

11) One of the biggest stories of the year will be the inceasing prominance of downloadable games like Braid and World of Goo.

12) Now two years into the Nintendo revolution, the third party shift towards Wii titles will finally bear fruit.

13) Zack and Wiki 2 FTW.



Wii- 75 million
PS3-26 million (28-31 million with price cut, depenind on size/timing)
360-37 million



Ps3 - 29 - 31 Mil.

360 - 32 - 33.5 Mil.

Wii - 63 - 64 Mil.

The Wii won't hit 80 million in 09.....


it would basically have to double its 08 sales for that to happen in 09..

And LMAO to the dude that said Wii could easily do 14 Million in a few weeks if they could meet demand..

lol omg dude come off it I know the Wii is doing great and all but its not that great be realistic

Also MS and Nintendo won't have a slim version.........

just because Sony did it with the Ps1 and Ps2 and Nintendo Copied em with the Ds doesn't mean everyone will start doing it.. I mean really in what way can MS shrink the 360 and can the Wii get any smaller?

Ehh maybe im just a blind fanboy but I don't think Ms and nintendo should have slim lines... only sony =P



Predictions.

1. Wii will never reach 50% market share.

2. Kz2 will sell 1.3 first week 3.5 LT.
Sales predictions for 09.

PS3 - 32 - 34
X360 - 39 - 41
