Handheld portable. It would not be considered a home console. I could see 3DS having over 900k million in December.

OMG!



Dang all UBI needs to survive is Assassins and Just dance

We shall see. That 77m thread looks very very stupid already. Don't you think? Lol.

I never agreed with the 77m thread... I just was trying to think in possibles mistakes made by IDC.

I'm pretty sure PS3 didn't shipped more than 7 million this quarter.


6 to 6.5 max

You are being too generous I think, more along the lines of 5 million :s

Well it depends how they did in Europe. With Europe and developing markets being slightly up they could ship 6 million consoles even if they are down in US and slightly in Japan (last year they shipped 6.5 million).

Nope. USA = The World.

No but they probalby dont count the Wii U as a console either.

That "more than double" thing probably just counts PS3 + Wii.

The "double" is just for each console... so you can use it for the second place.

· Xbox 360 sold 1.4 million units in December – more than double the amount of the second place console in the U.S. in the month of December. This marks the 24th consecutive month Xbox 360 has held the number one spot in the U.S. (Source: NPD Group, December 2012) 

PS3 less than 700k. 



PS3 overtracked by 300k then?

Also guys, we don't know that the 360 is overtracked. They said "over 1.4m", so for all we know it could be undertracked.

BEAST!

The PR is pretty clear...

"Xbox 360 sold 1.4 million units in December"

There is no "over".

Oh so THAT IS what they meant. The way Aaron Greenberg worded in on twtter was just very confusing.
