You guys "still" have not figured out that Avinash_Tyagi is an open opportunity troll and will never say a kind thing about any console that is not the wii or DS? He recently "latched" onto a internet article that talked about disruption theory and has not let go since. Just ignore his blatant fanboyism and stay on topic please.

On topic: Fantastic sales all around for everyone and I am happy that no console is below 100k so soon after the holidays (psp I am looking at you).

Heh, we are curious whether somebody will ever manage to make him admit something positive about Sony or MS (*). 

(*) about what they are doing for this gen and preparing the next, obviously, I'm sure he could acknowledge at least some of their past achievements.

That is highly unlikely.

Silly me, I'm an incurable optimist.

Of course I can praise some of their actions, after all PS1 and 2 sold well and 360 has actually recently started to earn some money back



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

OK. I guess, though, that you won't admit disruption was avoided (or counter-disrupted) if and until not only 7th, but also 8th gen is over with both MS and Sony profitable and having prevented Wii and its successor from exceeding 50% market share. Fair enough though, if we consider that previous Sony domination lasted 2 gens and Nintendo too had in the past more than one of its consoles in a row market leader and everlasting, until now, portable leadership, it looks like it's a market where leadership has good chances of being confirmed at least one gen.

@Mummelmann: He did it! 1-0 for me!
