Forums - Sales Discussion - What's your LTD predictions for the big three

LTD = final total Rol... you're changing the meaning again? Typical Australian behaviour IMO.



Tease.

Richard, that's a nice find, but it's a totally different case. The date is important.

The date of what exactly?

LTD to me means Life-to-Date... which unless you state a date (which neither the OP nor you did) should mean today... as in the current console sales totals.

Clearly however both the OP and yourself were using the "life to death" meaning of the term, which is surely the same as saying: "once all three systems have stopped selling."

In my case you are comparing today's post to a prediction from two years ago. In Gilgamesh's case it's two posts from the same day.

I would say the sheer discrepancy of your two predictions should negate the time-difference.

My blue name holds more value than your 10k+posts. I am friendly with nordlead too and I don't believe you have been paying your mod-protection insurance.



Best guess for me...

DS - 182m
Wii - 152m

PSP - 88m
PS3 - 67m
PS2- 144m

360 - 72m



I game.  You game.  We game.

X360: 64 million

Wii: 135 million

Interesting.

My predictions: Wii 150m, 360 60m, PS3 50m. Like usual, without putting thought into it.

Ahh crap, good find I was only off by 1.01 million

Well I edited my Wii numbers, now everything works out :)

Edit: Oh and yes I mean when each console is discontinued



Wii : 132mil

Ps3 : 64mil

Xbox 360 : 61mil

PS2 : 147mil

Psp : 92mil

DS : 184mil





Xbox360 : 50 - 55 million

PlayStation 3 : 80 - 90 million

Wii : 105 - 115 million

PlayStation Portable : 70 - 85 million

Nintendo DS : 150 - 180 million



 

 

Taking a look at last generation console install base wich is about 200 million, I don't think the current market is going to expand significatively, another question is the portable market NDS + PSP = 155 million vs GBA = 80 million.

So extrapolating last gen install base my estimation would be:

PS2 (145 million) ---------- Wii (115 million)
DC + Gamecube + XBox (55 million) ---------- XBox 360 (55 million + PS3 45 million) = (100 million)

Last gen final sales (200 million) ---------- Current gen final sales (215 million)
