I think it'll be above Wii for 1 week, I'm not sure if it'll be this week, or next, since there are different release dates for slim. Though I'm quite sure it'll be the week that has 1st september in it.

Then I think PS3 will be above Xbox 360 for the rest of the year (perhaps not on big Xbox 360 game releases)

I haven't set up my mind yet for 2010, I'll have to see by how much the PS3 will sell first, but I think I can predict a pretty even sale between PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010.



Currently Playing: Uncharted 2 & Kingdom Hearts 2
2010 Predictions: Click Me

Games on my "Must Buy" List:

Diablo III (PC)
God of War III (PS3)
Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
Final Fantasy Agito XIII (PSP)
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3)
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
The Last Guardian (PS3)

PS3 will win WW for two weeks, Wii back in the driver's seat on week 3.

Edit: Wait a minute, I didn't realize there were staggered release dates for the slim.  In that case, I'm with the post right above mine - it'll outsell Wii for one week, but I'm not sure which one.

Here's another one for true believers in the red ocean: How much will Xbox 360 sales drop over the next few weeks?

lol, like ps3 would actually surpass wii in weekly hardware sales with 300$ price XD


You act like the Wii is $99(which it should be)...



Prediction:

TGS this year for PS3 will be amazing.

Grandia comes to PSN(PSone classic).

First Versus gameplay this year.

The Adventures Of Duane and Brando

One week, tops, and even that is pushing it. This isn't going to be the insane boost that PS3 owners have been predicting since 2006...

Well, Wii sales are going to come down for awhile. It will be like earlier in the year after Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Vesperia come out in September for PS3, then when some of the bigger Wii titles come out the Wii will take back the Japanese lead, then Sony will take the lead back again when FFXIII and GT5 come out.



@Skittles

Are your predictions serious? You do realise that the 360 is cheaper than the wii and is still being outsold. The wii doesn't even have a dvd player in it and its still flying off shelves. The PS3 slim will outsell the wii for 1-3 weeks tops, even the PS3 fanboys can tell you that. But if your still not convinced I'd be ready to make a bet with you.



                                           

                      The definitive evidence that video games turn people into mass murderers

I'm 50/50 if PS3 will beat it in the 1st week. I'll say 2nd week.

1st week it will get a big boost and be 300k.
2nd week it will be 150k or less.

Since wii is usually pretty close to 250k it may lose the 1st week but regain lead on 2nd week.



I'm going to say 3 weeks.

Guaranteed 1 week, if PS3 slim does not outsell Wii on it's launch week, Sony is in deep.

I predict at least 300k first week.

Second week will see nearly identical Wii, PS3 sales.

Third week will see it drop 50k below Wii.

within the next month it will plateau at 130-140k a week, before holidays, impressive over it's current sub 100k weeks.

I think it could have stabilized higher if MS didn't counter price cut, as that will eat into potential slim buyers.

I think people are overestimating the popularity of the PS3's, it's not like everybody on Earth wants one but can't afford it, which is what the fanboys are arguing.

The was selling, what? 150k-200k WW? PS3 was at about 100-130k(low due to Sony getting rid of current models) . Why would it need to triple its sells?

360 showed a perm increase in sells, why wouldn't the PS3?

Wii consitantly sells > 200k and until recently >250k per week.

PS3 hasn't sold > 100k is quite awhile. Last week was only 75k.

300k is about the max of a jump you will see in the first week. That's a whopping 4 times its 'regular' sales.

Then like anything similar it will drop boy 40-50% the next week or roughly 150k; already less than what Wii sells without any 'big' games, price drops, colors, slim, etc.
