DS could do another million WW next week (as long as Japan stays stable)
drops should be 40% ww, but higher in the West (maybe 60%). Japan should see some increase that will offset the drops else where to a slight degree.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

With this Wii is at 49.4% for the end of 2008.

Not that far from 50%.

 

 2008 has one more week actually. (It's more like a half week anyway)

The gap between Xbox360 and PS3 just widened to 7.97 million. So 8 million at the end of the year is more than likely.

So the gap might close in late 2010. That wouldn't be too far from the next generation away. This will end up in a photo-finish. But nobody will care about. Just like Xbox and Gamecube.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

8 million lead now for the 360. I do not recall it ever being higher and it could be closer to 9 before we even see the next PS3 price drop. PS3 is going to have a real tough time ever breaking that lead.

There are still 4 days of 2008 not tracked, yet. I guarantee you that the marketshare was 45.5% as of January 1st.

The gap closing by the end of the generation is certainly the best case for the PS3.  The worst case would be that the gap continues to increase.

My bet, if I had to make one, is that by the time the next console is introduced the gap won't be less than 5 million units.
