I say it's either the PS3 wins or it's a tie between PS3 and Wii.

I have the feeling that the PS3 will probably do pretty well this holiday season. By then more than a few worth while games will be out for it. Who knows, though.

Halo 3 will sell quite a few 360's... but the Wii will most likely be getting a price drop along with a huge release... possibly SSBB, SMG or MP3... all within the same quarter.

Well... PS3 has a number of good games coming out for the holidays, 360 has Halo 3, and the Wii might have its big three games ready for Christmas... Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, and Mario Galaxy.

It will be close... so I don't really know.

My Dream

1. PS3

2.Xbox360

3. Wii

 

 

My guess is this

1. Xbox 360

2. Wii

3. PS3

 

 

The 360 has Halo 3 and GTA4 and is cheaper than the PS3 who still can't justify their price. The wii is a little gimmicky and doesn't have great games yet. So just like last year.

I say 360. because i believe it will have a price drop, unlike the other 2(majority of the time no console drops there price in its first year). Also games like Halo 3 and GTA 4 are big time sellers. GTA was one of the big reasons why PS2 sold alot during holidays, this time that advantage is gone. and with 360s lower price, GTA sales will more than likely sell a bit more on 360. Also the 360 lineup will be just as good if not better than PS3s. i believe with all the success the wii is having it will be a very close second. if smash bros, mario galaxy, and metroid do come out in the Q3-Q4 stretch then yes wii will come in second. because i believe smash bros will sell more systems.

Most definitely the NINTENDO Wii will be the hot item again, followed by the PS3 because Blu Ray popularity will increase and more games are coming. I think the PSP and DS will have good years too. I see the 360 starting to really slow down this year. I hope so cause Microsoft is laaaaaaaaaaaame.

The 360 is LAME now. Nothing but stupid Shooters. That's why Nintendo is doing so well. Gamers just want to have fun. Nintendo is the original game champ and it should stay that way. It's good to see them back on top. Sony will end up doing a lot better than 360 in the long run because of their broad variety of sports, shooters, rpg, and action/adventure games. Seriously .... what does the 360 have other than Gears of War, Halo 3, and Blue Dragon ..... NOTHING.

Oh no, Nintendo fanboy alert! We need knowledge STAT!!!

 

GTA4 - STOLE FROM SONY!

Guitar Hero 2 -  HAHA!! STOLE FROM SONY!

Banjo-Kazooie 3 - no release date but a 360 exclusive

Devil May Cry 4 - Yep..dats right...STOLE FROM SONY!

Elder Scrolls IV

Fable 2 - 2008 but a 360 only title!

Resident Evil 5 -Another title MS stole from sony!

Saints Row

Virtua Fighter 5

WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007 and 2008 - LMAO STOLE FROM SONY!!!

 

Let's not forget the PS3 is leading in cancelled games and is in line to loose Final Fantasy XIII to the 360 as well. I think the real questions are what does sony have that ms doesn't? How long will it be before they lose those to. You may want to do your homework first, sony isn't the best anymore and you need to accept that.

Not really. People get sick of that fast and want more adult games, which The N can't hope to provide.

The Wii just appeals to a broader audience.  The Wii does also have adult games.

You can't say that until it outsells somebody, for all you know everybody who got it had a GC last gen and wanted it because it's cheaper. The PS3 and 360 have games that appeal to those people to, and adult games? .......You mean godfather? Is that it? You know the Wii has an awful sports lineup right? No basketball at all.

 Look at total sales, the 360 is number 1. In fact the 360 outsold the Wii in November and December and still has a slight lead over it in total sale since November...Wait until the is #1 somewhere that isn't Japan...

I'll go ahead and say Holiday Sales will be very close between Wii & 360, with the PS3 trailing rather badly.

However by that time the Wii will probably have caught the 360 in overall sales and take 1st place with most units sold.

The Wii, assuming they make enough...

 

It is the "fad" remember. It's also cheap enough to be given as a gift and not break the bank.

It's gaining on teh Xbox 360 by about 800k a month around the world. ( 400k in J and 3K in the US, and 100k in europe and the rest of the world)

 

It might catch up sooner then expected.

Is it really even selling that much world wide? I mean its getting in the 200,000 area in the U.S, its only selling about 20,000 a week in Japan so I'd say generiously 100,000 a month in Japan. Now if you have to add to think how can it be GAINING on the xbox by 800,000 a month around the world? That would imply that it is selling over a million a month which is definately not the case.

Depends a lot on how well PS3's exclusives turn out this season and which version of GTA version is best. The Wii could easily sell the most by a lot because of parents buying for kids.... I'd say it'll be in between PS3 and Wii if MGS4 makes it this year.

This is a no-brainer.. The best system of them all THE WII is going to win this holiday season without a doubt. 360 #2 and PS3 last unless it drops to $500 but even then I dont see it comin out on top unfortunately.

360 will win but Wii close behind it. 360 just has to many big titles comming out. Mass Effect,Blue Dragon, Forza Bioshock and a bunch of other big titles comming before Christmas. Also can not forget MS's king Halo 3 will be out and that alone will sell a lot of systems.

Well considering the 360 is getting 2 of the sequels to some of the most casually attractive games (Halo 3 and GTA IV ofcourse) I'm putting my money on the 360. Wii will sell ridiculously throughout the whole year though.

The only way the Wii will lose is if Nintendo can't fix the production issue's or M$ drops the premium down to $300.

Lets see latest statistics put the Wii at 6.5 million. That would make it about a million a month so yes it is gaining that quickly. And if you want proof of the Wii's popularity in Japan http://n-europe.com/news.php?nid=10346 Basically it is selling out so it is only limited by supply. The Wii also beat out Xbox 360 and PS3 for Easter Week in the UK as well with 25,000. Like it or not, the Wii is on pace to win 2007. The PS3 and Xbox 360 would need to pick it up to steal 2007 at this point.
