Joke post?

I sure hope so.

The interesting thing about all of this is that something like 92m consoles have been sold over at a price point of $250+

Wait a minute.

*invokes Pachter logic*

That means the total sales will at least come to 370 million, because after all, 75% of console sales are at $200 or under.

I really can see ps3 and 360 more than doubling their sales, maybe 80 million 360, 60 million ps3 and 150 million wii.

It looks like the DS will make it to 100M before the combined current-gen consoles of will

I would say 200 million is actually possible for the Wii, but it is at the higher end of any reasonable estimate.

but the X360 and PS3 figures are impossibly low (barring an immediate shutdown of either/both companys, which won't logically happen)

By now, the minimum anyone should be predicting for the two are 40 million for the PS3, and 50 million for the X360.

Well, it has had an extra year or two.... but if you add it up it's 4.25 years for DS compared to 3.25 + 2.25 + 2.25 years for the 3 consoles

So DS did in 4.25 what the 3 consoles managed in an equivalent 7.75 years.

(this is also a rather unfair comparison as the consoles compete against each other more, had there been just 1 console it may have reached 100 million quicker than the DS)

Wii 150-200
PS360 100-150 million

Total 250-350 million

Lets make guesses for the software sales. I think that 360 and wii will be with technical draw and ps3 will have a good third place.

@ inveted locus - the Wii overtook the 360 in terms of software sales some months ago and is now putting on a good lead. There will be no tie for software
