Analyst: PS3 to win current hardware generation
Lifetime sales predicted to reach 127 million units.
According to David Mercer, principal analyst at Strategy Analytics, Sony's PS3 will sell more units than its rivals the Xbox 360 and Wii over the lifetime of the current hardware generation.
A report titled "Taming the Waves: Games Console Life Cycles and Platform Competition," predicts that the PS3 will remain a commercial platform five years after the Wii has been replaced, with lifetime sales predicted to reach 127 million units, compared to 103 million Wii units.
"Nintendo has done a great job with the Wii in bringing console games to new audiences," said Mercer. "But its sales are now falling, particularly in mature markets, and its installed base will peak in 2011. Ownership of both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 will hit their highest points between 2012 and 2014."
In 2010 the report predicts global Wii sales of 17.5 million units, the PS3 14 million and Xbox 360 10.5 million.

Plus, it is nice to see your blatant double standards - let me get this straight, according to your posts in this thread, the fanbois are ok in 'creating discussion', but it's not when I call them on it and post a counter argument? That's... intereting.

You could claim that GoW 3-6 are going to come to the 360, most likely 3 will and possibly 4.
As I've said before I don't really mind blatant trolling. I can ignore it and let everybody else get wound up about it, it gives everyone a chance to show how smart they can be with their insults and witty replies. If someone wants a discussion that's fair enough, if people want to feed the trolls then so is that.
If it puts people off posting then tough titties, where else will they go? Eurogamer; that place is infinitely worse than here for trolling, VG247; only news and full of what I call gaming posers, IGN; only kidding, nobody takes that place seriously.

I can claim that Gears 3,4,5 and 6 are all yet to come out on 360 doesn't make it so and until the point that it's announced all dribble.
As you know i'll argue with anyone I think is wrong but it would seem that this kind of dribble post is becoming more and more affluent on the site lately. Being accepting of these troll like posts thrown out there for maximum effect is something I hope none of us regular members will tolerate.
The writing style of FPS is somewhat similar to another member with a blatant disregard to punctuation especially the lack of capital letters and an extremely Fanboy Droid-Esq point of view.
