Life Time Sales:
Xbox360: 32 million shipped (Global)
Ps3: 45 million shipped (Global)
Wii: 160 million shipped (Global)

Why? I figured in these things: price point, interface, hype and name sake.

If Iwata succesfully regrasps the hardcore crowd like he intends to this year (2008) Then that want for the Wii will go up at least 20% more. (Year End) Keeping to this ideal, more developers will shift to where more people are.

The next majority is the Casual crowd, they will probably find the PS3 interesting for its blue-ray play back, and find some games interesting also.

Life time = 2011.

I'll make this clear, the Wii can never make 160 million mainly because their having trouble keeping up with demand. 1 out of 12 people switch to buying another Console now rather than wait for supply.

The Wii is priced such that most people that have the Xbox 360 or PS3 also have the Wii as a secondary system. Not sure the PS3 will eventually pass the Wii.

According to Gameindustry.biz the PS3 is on track to pass the Xbox 360 in '08 as well. I agree with them here. According to Gameindustry.biz the PS3 is on track to pass the Xbox 360 in '08 as well.
