My predictions on world wide console unit sales numbers for the year ending 2012

thank you, i also have foreseen wiis untimely end, it looks to be high in numbers now, but i said that 2 years from launch it will fade away

I think the Wii might do slightly better than your predicted 30-40 million. That number will be exceeded by next year or the year after. If you talk about sales tapering off, perhaps 60-70 mill is probably a more sensible choice. As for the PS3 dominating. I think Sony will hit 70-80 million at the end of the console race, just ekeing out Nintendo under your prediction. By my prediction, it will come out 2nd in the race at around 60-70 million with Wii hitting 80-90 million and MS hitting 30 mil.

Btw, why is your name Chubear?

and now there are some things that are clearer but it seems I was generally in the right area. I'm still sticking with my general predictions cause I've seen I'm pretty much on the money with that but I MAY be off a little with Wii # and PS3 Numbers.

I said Wii btw 30-40 million and PERHAPS a LITTLE more. I still stand by that fairly well but when I made that prediction I didn't think these non-traditional gamers would stick around. If it was up to just gamers the Wii would be dead last this gen again and now, in 2009 we can see this clearly.

If they go over 40 mill, how much over will they go? NES numbers of 65 mill? I still say no but some have even said 100mill and that to me is IMPOSSIBLE cause the wii is only a gaming machine and no solo gaming machine has ever gotten to 100 mill. So, Nintendo making the Wii do SNES numbers would be a great feat but I can't see any more than that - We'll see soon enough.

As for PS3; I predicted btw 90-100 mill in 2006 and in 2007 I saw I was way off but still, during that period in time, saying the PS3 would sell 100 million seemed ludicrous to most and I got flammed insanely for that.

However, I've seen that the PS3 will do or, more likely, surpass PS2 numbers by the end of it's production cycle at over 150million.

As for the 360? well it may go a little above the 32 mill mark but bottom line is, it's finished. Call in the dogs with this console cause the hunt is over.

Btw - Chubear is a nickname from college. My middle name is Chulu and some girls of mine in the past used to say I was hung like a Bear; hence the name Chubear.
