Is this the year of the PS3? Yes and no. According to Activision, the PS3 will indeed outsell the Xbox 360, but neither platform will come close to touching the Wii.

In a conference call following the June quarter earnings release from Activision, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith provided his company's own forecast for how the console wars would turn out in 2008. While Nintendo is still the big winner, Activision does think Sony will edge out Microsoft this year.

The Wii is forecast to sell 15 million units in 2008, compared to 8 million units for the PS3 and 6-7 million units for the Xbox 360. And Sony's PS2, which after all these years is still thriving, is expected to sell a total of 4-5 million units this year.

Additionally, while Griffith did not provide a breakdown for PSP versus Nintendo DS, he did state that the portable market will see unit sales of more than 24 million.
