Low numbers 
Sony PR
"According to the May NPD report, exclusive PlayStation 3 titles again posted strong results with MLB12: The Show and Starhawk. PlayStation also continues to experience accelerated digital sales growth for the PS3 and PS Vita platforms," said Dan Race, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications at SCEA.
"As demonstrated at E3 last week, our commitment to gamers is stronger than ever with upcoming 2013 PS3 exclusive titles, including Beyond: Two Souls, God of War: Ascension and The Last of Us, as well as PS Vita titles PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and Assassin's Creed III: Liberation which will continue PlayStation's momentum into the new year."
As someone said in neogaf
3DS sold this quantity in one week in japan.
Things are really grim.
| TheSource said: I reckon VGC is high on almost everything for hardware. The US economy is slowing down, all the consoles are very old - the 3DS / Vita are tiny yet, and with a 40 / 35 / 21 split between Wii / X360 / PS3 in the US having one big game a month just isn't going to push big hardware numbers anymore. There is a chance Microsoft's numbers will be up I suppose because NPD will have found a way to include that "$100 downpayment plus future $20 payments" thing into the numbers at Microsoft's stores (I've never seen one though?), but that proposition is still pretty expensive long term for a seven year old console. |
Hmm...I'd assuming the split is 160k X360 / 110k PS3 / 85k Wii
Year to Date Estimates (Jan-May)
2011 2012 LTD (Approx)
Wii 1.471m 0.735m 39.5m
PS3 1.411m 1.160m 21.1m
X360 1.916m 1.463m 34.1m
If you go by Jan-May last year, X360 is on pace for 5.8m, Wii is on pace for 2.5m, and PS3 is on pace for 3.5m this year...against roughly 7.3m / 4.5m / 4.5m in 2011. If you favor recency, it's more like to be like 5.5m / 3.3m / 2.2m if I had to guess.

the only positive you can say is that the 3ds increased, but it wasn't too hard to do that. Still waiting for a 3ds redesign
Horrible month,
Probably everyone playing diablo.
Brace yourself guys, slow months ahead.
I guess NPD always extrapolated Wal-Mart... now with real data the numbers are low for all consoles/portables.
ya know... this whole number counting thing is really boring until the next gen is in full swing. Wake me when holidays 2013 start.

They did extrapolate it. I wonder if this leads to any revisions of past numbers.
