If you believe that I have some great property I want to sell you, dirt cheap

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

There is so much wrong with this graph, it is not even funny.

Graph shows that PS3 sold much more than PS1 in 3 years. So it would take miracle for PS3 NOT to outsell PS1.

I think that it is possible for it to catch up to the PS1, but I do not believe that there is any hope of it reaching PS2 numbers.

VGchartz doesn't have complete data for the PS1 era, so those numbers are not the PS1's true sales

assuming the PS3 manages to keep its sales going for three years at a 200K/week pace, and i'm being generous, it will have sold around 53 million, however that is a best case scenario, considering PS3 sales will probably start tapering off, before three years, considering its the lagging console in the race and the most expensive and shares much of its library with the cheaper 360, not to mention that the PS4 will probably be officially announced before 2012 at least in some form

NO. 22.5M in 2 1/3 yrs, I dont think it will outsell 140M and growing PS2's, or even 105M PS1's.

PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M; PS3 = 59M; Wii = 97M
