I'm not saying it won't sell less, of course it will. I just don't see why any other console would "steal" its sales to gain an advantage.

Well, up the Xbox to 2.75 mill and Slim to 3.75 then. Happy? 

Wii - 7.2 mil
PS3 - 2.8 mil
360 - 2.4 mil

EDIT:

Kow what on Earth r u talking about total console sales down 20% YoY with my numbers?

U show in your chart Wii + PS360 as total 11.2 mill in Dec 2008.

If I say Wii 5 mill, X360 2.5 mill, Ps3 3.5 mill = 11 mill. Thats not down anywhere near 20%. And PS2 has not much to do with anything.

The 360 shouldn't drop too much, after all we have the same Arcade but cheaper Premium prices. The PS3 should be up by 50% or so but would be so much bigger with the Gran Turismo in December. FFXIII is releasing late in December so it won't contribute much to the world wide number.

Anyone on a budget who bought the PS2 last year would surely also buy the PS2 this year, right?

It's not like the PS2 was discontinued, the only reason PS2 sales will fall is because it's nine years old now, and people will want to buy a newer console, if they can. If they are saving money, they would still go for the PS2.

Besides, it's likely to give the Wii more of a boost- you're forgetting that the Wii and 360 are the same price now.
