The Wii will be a lot more than that. Just look at the pace it has, and the major titles are yet to be released.

MS should be able to move another solid 10 million in 2008. price drop,halo 3 and GTA 4 are a sure bet for that.

PS3 will hit 15-20Million world wide and constant demand for console means not enough to go around cause first of all: All Programming issues for making games for the PS3 has been figured all out. Second it will have Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, resident Evil 5, Lair, Motor Storm, and footages of the amazing Kill Zone 2 has just come out. Third all online issues will be fixed fourth a price drop will commence soon and sixth PS3's true power will be revelealed.

If MS shaves $100 off the 360 before Halo 3 comes out, they'll do 20 million. If not I have no idea, but it could be pretty close. I'm waiting for the PS3 to come out in Europe to make any guesses about it...and there's no stopping the Wii -- more than 10 million.

care to explain why Halo 3 GT4 and A price drop will only move 5 millions consoles in 12 months?

Last NOV and Dec alone MS sold over 2 million 360's.

I think Halo 3 won't be as such a system seller as you'd think, because those who are getting it will probably be all those people who already have a 360 and a copy of Halo 2.

You do know that Halo is automatically a system seller and Halo 2 sold 2x more than Sunshine right?

I agree with your 2k7 prediction, but I don't agree with the 2k8 one simply because I think the Wii will have overtaken both the platforms.

Edit: Actually, do you think the PS3 will sell 12.5 million more this year?

i'm not saying that the first 2 are not system sellers. I'm saying that they are and therefore further sequels will have less of a 'system seller' influence.

the 360 will have the lead, wii second, ps3 third 360- 18 million, they have a one year lead, plus halo 3 will be a huge seller wii- 13 million, the wii has built a strong pace and there better games will come out later this year ps3- 10 million, its sony, it will sell, great games will come out for it, the price keeps if from hitting the number one spot again, or else it would have sold alot better due to the success of the ps2

The Wii is proving to be a flashfire console. People jumped on the hype machine, and they got alot of hardcore gamers and many who never played games interested, but the Wii is now showing it is nothing more than a gimick. It will keep the party gaming scene alive, but I speculate it will top out at 10million units sold in its life time, maybe 15 if they are lucky.

The 360 is a mixed bag. Sure Halo will move some systems, but I do not think it will sell like people are hoping. They have sold about 9 million 360's already. They sold a total of about 15 million Xbox 1 sonsoles if I remeber right. So the majority of people who woill buy Halo 3 already have a 360. You will not get another 5 million new buyers for Halo 3.

PS3. The old girl if off to a pretty good start, we are finally seeing it beat the PS2 in Japan. With almost 2 mill sold already in NA and JA, and Eur coming very soon, if it keeps it's pace we will likely see 12 - 15 mil this year, there is a huge solid lineup of system selling titles coming. MGS4, FF XIII to name a couple. Sony does not have all its eggs in one basket like MS with HALO. They have a diverse group of titles for fans spread across many genres of gaming. RPG, Action, Sports, FPS.

the wii is almost halfway there now and still hasnt had its big games come out are u smoking something, 360 has gears, mass effect=rpg, i hate splinter cell but it sells well and is ok to somepeople enought to make up for mgs, blue dragon another rpg i hate rpgs but im tryin t show diversity in good games, gta 4 isnt a sony timed exclusive, and gta was sonys best selling games remember, throw in halo 3, bioshock, too human, sports games and yeah 360 is pretty diverse and should hold its own, look ps3 will be good but 15 mil in one year not gonna happen they just got to 2 million in feb. it launched in novemeber, wii launched in november and is close to 5 mil i think there in the mid 4 million area. like i said in my post, because of sonys high price they opened up the market for the other 2, so people who couldnt afford to spend 600 bucks for a systme that doesnt have any good games out for it yet went to nintendo and microsoft, thus creating a new user base on those systems. sorry 10 mil is where sony will top out at the end of the year, the wiis life cycle will have more than 15 million consoles ur crazy

or a little less what about wii,ps3 or ds lite...seriously 50 million for ds lite is within reason 20 million for xbox 360 anounced at ces 2008 and ps3 will have 8 million shipped wii at 10 million soldTHEKING1337
Your 360 scenario is highly unlikely. MS has reduced its shipping targets for June to 12 million total. This would mean they have to sell 8 million in the rest of the year (6 months) to break at 20 million. Their sales haven't been high enough to conclude they can pull this off. On the other hand, you bet 10 million on the Wii. Since they have already sold 4 million, you're telling us they're only going to sell 6 million through the rest of the year (10 + 1/2 months)? This seems to be based on what you think of the console, not on the current trends and additional data we have received...
