19 million for wii

14 million for ps3

10 million for xbox

Nintendo will domain the world by the end of the year. All of us will live with a Wii perhome and a DS per person.

In 2012, Nintendo will relase a new console that will deestroy the entire world.

I'd say this year is going to be very hard to call as there are so many factors that could change the equation entirely but here is my best guess.

I think the PS3 is going to be flat or slightly up. I don't think we are going to get another price cut this year. I really think we are getting beyond the point where a single software release can have a huge impact on console sales but still I'm hesitant to discount the effect of GT5. At the moment I don't see the wand having a big influence this year unless it comes much earlier than expected and is very well supported. We are not going to see crazy weeks that we saw post slim release but sales are going to be more consistent than last year and with GT5 and generally strong software i think it will end at 13-13.5 million.

I feel the 360's fortunes largely rest on Natal, when it releases, software support and whether follow up press is as positive as the initial press. If Natal hits a positive note then I can see it having some impact on hardware sales especially towards the holiday season where irrespective of software support it could become one of the new, cool gadgets to have at Christmas. 10.5-11 million.

Wii could very well go up, down or stay the same this year. Nintendo has professed that they don't want to lose momentum again so I think they will be more proactice this year in ensuring there aren't major software gaps at least on the first party front. They have Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Other M, Zelda Wii all slated to release this year and less certainly Wii Vitality and Retro's game. With carefully timed releases this should keep the core gamer happy for most of the year so for me the big question lies with Wii Vitality. For the Wii to go up i think it would require at least one of two things; greater core adoption for the growing list of must have 1st party titles or Wii Vitality to have appeal on the scale of Wii Fit. Sales of the Wii will eventually have to drop to levels of a mortal console but then again we've been saying that about the DS for several years. I'm going to work on the assumption that Nintendo is going to get 'it' right this year, buck the YOY drop and end at about 22.3-22.8 million.

I am kind of going for a best case scenario for each of the three consoles but with the economic situation currently looking more promising than a year ago I don't think it's impossible.

this.    nsmbw isnt a console mover, its a game u buy after uve got the console, its not the key reason ud by it. unless u think this counts

" im going to buy a black wii because the price went down, and hey i guess i could pick up nsmbw" <- that DOESNT count

Actually, the Black Wii costs a bit more than a standard white one so it kind of nullifies the price cut.

lol, people are funny, from 22 million in 2009 to 17 and 14 million in 2010, lol

hmmm........

Wii- 19,000,000
PS3- 13,000,00
360- 11,000,00

360 = 11 mil (14mil - natal)
PS3 = 13 mil
Wii =

Wii - 19,000,000
PS3 - 13,000,000
360 - 11,000,000
rough estimate...

Wii = 20 to 21 million (same as last year's total. Good games lineup and should sell well in 2010).

PS3 = 12 to 13 million (same as last year's total) Jan to Aug 2010 will be up on same 8 months of 2009. Last 4 months for 2010 will be down on last 4 months of 2009.)

360 = 10 to 13 million (Either same as last year's total or could be higher. Depends on the success of Natal and more price cuts. Late rally in last 4 months of 2010 will make up for slow start for first 8 months in 2010)

End of 2010 sales ltd:
Wii = 85 to 86 million
PS3 = 44 to 45 million
360 = 47 to 50 million
