Good news for MS but i doubt that Nintendo will only sell that in America...there´s a lot of hardcore nintendo fans there and Wii will be also be owned by some PS3 or 360 owners.

WTF did hey base this conclusion on? Last generation trends?

Have they been keeping up with current events? Do they realise that the ps3 is US$600 - plus all the delays and reduced production numbers. DO they actually know what the Wii is?

It more analyst BS, i' m pretty sure they would have predicted soething similar to for the DS vs psp battle.

Wait a month after the consoles launch, and all of these figures will have been thrown out the window for some other grand theory.

To quote Mark Twain " There' s lies, damn lies, and statistics" .

Who the fuck came up with these projections! [:' (]

I don' t know who came up with them, it sure as hell wasn' t me. However it will be interesting to bring this thread up a year from now and see how they hold up.
