Forums - Sales - Acti Blizz - Wii to sell 16 million next year, 360 and PS3 8 million each

I expect that under more normal economic climates they probably would have phrased their predictions as:

Wii: 20 Million +/- 4 Million
PS3: 10 Million +/- 2 Million
XBox 360: 10 Million +/- 2 Million

If they had done this no one would have cared because they would (essentially) be saying that they expected sales to (basically) continue as they have been ...

In the current economic climate they will base all of their sales off of the bottom of their prediction scale and (throughout the year) as sales out-perform their expectations they can always make an correction to their financials.

Except they are predicting "big increase in console sales" despite putting Wii definately lower than it was in 2008 (The Source says 18.2 million for USA + EU.... which has to be the lowest number of regions possible in Activisions prediction) And probably lower for the X360 than 2008 too.
