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

puffy on 09 August 2009

Nintendo's internal marketing data suggests that there are still 200 Million possible consumers for the Wii and DS.

Now I doubt they'll be able to get to every one of those consumers but I'm sure that over the next 5 - 10 years they'll get to as many as possible. Having said that, I couldn't predict the sales of any of the consoles without spending a fair bit of time on it so I'll leave that to you guys :P

My LTD predictions are:

PS3- 23.08 million
Wii- 51.98 million
X360- 31.40 million

(LTD = Life to Date ).

Okay, I'll stop being a jerk.

Wii- 140-150 million
PS3- 55-65 million
X360- 60-70 million
PSP- 75-85 million
DS: 165-175 million

wii - 80-90 million, I feel like the gamecube once sales start dropping theyre gonna nosedive
ps3 - 80-100 million, Very dependant on how aggresive sony is with pricing
xbox360 - 60-80 million, hardest to judge, natal could be a big factor



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

 2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

Keep em coming guys, the more the better

I'll likely be reviving this at the end of the year, it should be fun to see what you think of your prediction in just 4 months.

The year is over and the craziness is starting to die down, so for the people that made there predictions do you want to change them or keep them the way they are?

A lot has happened in the last 4 months.

You have some strange predictions
I think it'll be like this 130-160 million for wii
360 and PS3(let's admit it that they don't have a huge gap between each other)
50-75 million



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

We don't even know how long they are going to sell for, how can we predict LTD? For all we know the Wii could be discontinued because they don't want people to expect to pay a lower price for their console, so when the next Nintendo console comes out they may simply kill off the old one.

Wii - 100-110 million - Will beat the PS1 but not the PS2

PS3 - 85-95 million - 10 year cycle means it will be selling for another 7 years

360 - 65-75 million - Depends on NATAL's success/failure
