Console SALES as of January 2009! Wii then 360 then ps3!

I was just looking at the current state of the 3 next gen consoles and it's like this

Nintendo Wii:34.55 Million Worldwide as of September 30th 2008(that was the current statistic i saw on wikipedia) Retail Price:($249)

Xbox 360:28 Million Worldwide as of January 5th 2009($199)Arcade ($299)60gb ($399)Elite 120gb

Playstation 3:20 Million as of January 2009($399)80gb and a newly introduced ($499)160gb

Xbox 360 has an 8 Million lead on ps3 obviously because of the extra year

The Wii is ridiculous launching with ps3 and is in 1st place comfortably!

I am assuming with the current state of the consoles if no price drop is initiated, My estimated projection would be

Nintendo Wii sells around 17.23million world wide this year(just an estimate)

Xbox 360 sells around 12Million world wide this year(due to great price+great game library)(ESTIMATE)

Playstation 3-Now this is i cant really give an estimate because i am not sure if there will be a price drop come March. Now Assuming there is no price drop all year(very unlikely) but lets assume ps3 should sell around 7million

Now in the event of a price drop, let's say around $100 on both models i would say from 7million ps3 would sell 12milion maybe more! A price drop would be very profitable for ps3 because there r a lot of great games coming out this year

The Number say it all! and i have made a few assumptions based precvious sales etc.! Thoughts?

The most shocking things to me this gen are:

How th PS3 didn't back up the PS2's supremacy.

How the Wii is selling out despite soo many low games.

How the 360's break soo much.

I still think the Wii will die down eventually

i made my own personal estimates remember but i got the statistics from wikipedia

I think the Wii is actually way above 34 million by now. And 7 million this year for the PS3 seems awfully low, even without a price cut. Which there will be. Floppy_Jim

Yea i put that based on previous sales, a lot of people r holding out until price cut so that number is in the event that there is no price cut which there has 2 be!

When Final Fantasy XIII is released in Japan, I wonder what that will do to the worldwide sales for PS3. hakanakumono

yea that will be pretty big but right now ps3 doesnt have 3million sold in japan as of november 08 so i would expect a huge boost from that game

2) 360 is not fighting the Wii.

3) 360 has a much higher attachment rate then Wii

Xbox 360 has widen its lead after the vast price drops, so it is the effect of 3-4 months, imagine what will happen in 2009, especially with the vast game lineup below, all for 199$

attachment rate tells you what ?

1. the attachrate is NOT an indicator how many games YOU buy or like !

2. a high attach rate could also mean that most games get bored very fast. if you get bored you buy new games right ?

3. if console sales slow down attach rate goo´s up without release new games, its like magic:lol:

i hope you understand how pointless the attach rate is now ;)
