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

I'm holding off final sales predictions until the final 2008 numbers are in, but...

We know Wii is currently selling everything it ships. Its up to about 2.5mil per month, right? So 2.5 x12 = 26 million. Figure they'll up production again in the spring, but that'll take some time. Maybe it adds another 4 mil, which would be 30mil on top of current sales, or around 75. The sad thing is this is mostly in Nintendo's hands - they could up production to 4mil per month if they wanted to, so predictions are less about sales trends than understanding Nintendo itself.

PS3 sold about 7 mil in 2007, then 10 mil in 2008, but the sales are slowing due to the economy. I expect even with a price cut that 10m is about as well as Sony can expect in 2009 - the only exclusive system seller I see from them is GT5  - I don't expect FF13 or GoW3 to make it out until 2010, and Killzone 2 isn't a console seller.

The 360 you are seriously shortchanging. You've got it selling just 7 million next year. The 360 has been selling an average of 8m its first 2 years, and their numbers have picked up with the price cut - it looks like they'll hit over 10m this year. The system sells in the US and is picking up Europe. If Halo 3 and Halo wars make it out, they could duplicate even though I don't anticipate another price cut. So that would put them... 37 million?

Therefore...

End of 2009:

Wii: sells 30m to finish at 75m.

PS3: sells 10m to finish just under 30m.

360 sells just under 10 to finish around 36m.

That is 141m consoles sold, Wii @ 53%, PS3 @ 21% and 360 26%.

2.5 x 12 = 30, not 26 :x

plus 4 would be 34. That would make your prediction 79m for Wii instead of 75.

 



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.

I think I need some nice PS3 software predictions.

24) God of War III will sell around 1 million WW first week.

25) God of War III will be tracking above Killzone 2 by year end.

26) God of War III will outsell both of its predecessors (judging by shifty VGC data for the second game, according to IGN GoW2 has actually outsold GoW)

27) Gran Turismo 5 will sell at least 3 million first week WW.

28) Gran Turismo 5 will be the best selling PS3 exclusive of 2009, followed by Killzone 2 (due to its February release date), followed by God of War III

29) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will sell around 800k opening week WW.

30) Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, inFamous, God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank Future 2 and Trico will all score 9+ from IGN.

31) Ratchet and Clank Future 2 will make it out in 2009...

32) IGN will give more 9+ games to the PS3 than the X360 or Wii.

I'll edit them into the OP, again.

2008 Sales Results

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 12th Jan 2008 to 20th Dec 2008:


Console Wii PS3 X360
Total
24,149,116
9,665,970
10,401,425

Add

~2.5 million more for the Wii
~900,0000 more for the PS3
~1.5 million more for the 360

Aproximate totals
Wii 26.6 million
360 12 million
PS3 10.5 million

2009 Sales Predictions

Wii 29 million.
360 14 million
PS3 9 million

Other Predictions

1. Killzone 2 will not cause a PS3 sales surge. Blip will be smaller than MGS4.
2. GT5 will stun the world with its 100% tie ratio to new PS3 console sales. Everyone purchasing GT5 will also purchase a PS3.
3. Forget #2. GT5 wont even release in 2009 and even if it does late in the year the additional PS3 sales because of GT5 wont be very measurable. With a console base of nearly 30 million at release 10% of existing console owners will push 3 million GT5 sales.
4. Sony wont cut price until September at the earliest.
5. Sony will adjust to larger HDD sizes around end of summer to maintain cost effectiveness.
6. Wii will start coming with a pooper scooper to handle all of the shovelware.
7. Wii top selling software will continue to be the same old same old. (Wii Play, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Mario Kart)
8. Wii will continue to sell like crazy and the software released will still cause yawns.
9. 360 will continue momentum into 2009 and with no PS3 price cut to slow will be ahead of 2008 pace all year long.
10. 360 will have new software annoucements from Bungie, Rare, and Lionhead.
11. 360 will finally have motion controller and games announced.
12. 360 will adjust to larger HDD sizes around end of summer to maintain cost effectiveness.
13. 360 prices will remain the same unless Sony cuts PS3 price, but MS may add WiFi adapter or motion controller to package.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

PS3 drops price and starts selling
KZ2 goes crazy with sales
360 xboxs across the world come across a new problem- no longer RROD - Exploding systems ES - which many small children lose fingers over
The Wii, nintendo, becomes the master ruler of earth by buying out every nations' economies problems

Well here are my prediction:

Q1: Halo Wars will outsell Killzone 2. That's a given, it's HALO!
GTA DLC #1 will sell over 1 million DLC. Possibly
At GDC: Bioshock 2 will be announced as a 360 timed exclusive. Unlikely
Mass Effect 2 is announced and will be X360 exclusive. EA doesn't do exclusives.

Q2: At E3:
Forza 3, Killer Instinct, and Dead Rising 2 announced for fall release. Likely
Megaton announcement for Microsoft: xbox wiimote(newton) announced with games being distributed via xbox live and will be bundled with every Arcade Unit at $199. No way. Diablo 3 is announced and will be x360 console exclusive with cross platform online gaming with PC. No*. And before the end of the conference, Peter Jackson came out of the stand and announced Halo Chronicles! Probably. A teaser at best, though.

Q4: Halo OSDT released and sold 3 million copies in one day. Halo 3 didn't sell that much in one day, how could ODST?
Alan Wake Yes, Splinter Cell Convicton Could be on PS3, Killer Instinct Never heard of it, Forza 3 GT5, Diablo 3 Not happening*, Mass Effect 2 multiplat?, Bioshoick 2 timed exclusive/multiplat, and Halo OSDT Expansion and Dead Rising 2 What is that going to do? will be too much for the PS3 (GT5, GoW3, R&CF 2009, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, inFamous, Killzone 2) come this fall.

And you said my predictions were ridiculous

*Okay, why would this happen? Blizzard has never made a game for the 360, what could they possibly stand to gain from making it 360 console exclusive? If they put it on 360, they'll put it on PS3.

 

Sorry, but Killzone is going head to head with Halo Wars in Q1. Head to head? Different consoles, different genres.

Yes GT5 will be a monster but judging from Forza 2 and the anticipation for 3, it shold hold up against GT5 in the states at least. No way. Gran Turismo 3 has sold better than Forza 1 and Forza 2 combined. Gran Turismo is among GTA, Halo, Mario and Pokemon as the strongest brand names in gaming.

There is already a contract in placed for a trilogy exclusive on the 360 so it will be exclusive to 360 regardless of EA. Fair enough.

Hey if MS paid for Timed exclusive for the first Bioshock, why is it so hard to believe it won't happen again. Because BioShock has sold 200k and effectively flopped on PS3 because people didn't want to pay today's price for yesterday's game. 2K won't let that happen again.

Halo ODST will sell about 3 million in first month not day. That was a typo. One month is possible of course. I would say one month is very likely.

Until I heard otherwise, Splinter Cell is still scheduled as an exclusive for the 360. That's what they say now. I'm sure I read an article which said they were looking into a PS3 version. It makes sense, right? Splinter Cell 1-4 were on PS2, SC4 was on PS3, there has been a Splinter Cell on PSP. Oh and also, it sucks now. Chaos Theory was amazing, Double Agent... not so much. 

Why is it so hard to believe in a Wiimote. The Mii/avatar was only the beginning and the Newton Wiimote like device was rumored not too long ago. It makes perfect sense for microsoft to test the water to see if they can get some of the casual gamers that are attracted to the Wii. Rumoured. There is no evidence to suggest this "Newton" exists.

For all I know none of these will be true but I am just brainstorming my wishes :D. Wishes. There we go. I suppose a lot of mine are wishes as well O.O

 

 

 

If we went by that logic, killzone 2 would be god awful because the first game was.

 



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
