As part of the publisher's Q1 fiscal results, Activision Blizzard has released its internal estimates for console and portable hardware in North America and Europe combined. For the current calendar year, Activision is forecasting that the Wii will once again be the best-selling console with another 12 million units sold.  activision_hardware_estimates

 

Activision also believes that Sony's PS3 will top Microsoft's Xbox 360, 9 million vs. 8 million units sold. Ever since launching the PS3 slim model at the lower $299 price last September, Sony's had some good momentum, and games like Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and God of War III have fueled the fire. It seems Activision is confident Sony can keep the momentum going.

In Japan. If you check the Charts, Japan's hardware sales are less than half of the other countries.

Which is why the XBOX360 isn't hurting more from it's lack of sales over there.

The consoles are outdated trash, holding back technology advancement. Fact.

you're talking out your arse.

The consoles are better than probably 90% of pc's out there and the pc has to many different hardware/software configs causing other problems

These things balance it out.

Yeah, yeah you're probably right, but still my pc is better than my PS3

it would take 8 more years. O well atleast when the Xbox 360 dies and there is a new Xbox the PS3 would still be around and then the end result would be the PS3 still outselling the 360 but at a point where the battle is pretty much over.

not that i am into the console war but it is funny when people forget what extent certain companies and their fans go to to get those numbers... bannings, faulty hardware, modifying - one console online one console off. all that stuff distorts who is "winning the battle" lol
oh and then there is the fact that not all the consoles where released in the same year.

truth be told it doesn't really matters who is winning we the gamers always lose anyway

If people are buying two consoles, one to hack, the other to use legit, that's not distorting who's winning, that's clearly a win in that console's direction.

If the PS3 wasn't so reputedly "hack-proof", you'd probably see the same thing happening.

These are figures for the world. The PS3 has been outselling the 360 for quite some time now
