I'm awfully suspicious they did a Wii correction for December.

 

How so, vgchartz had more wii sold than nintendo had shipped. I'm pretty sure NPD was much closer to the actual numbers than this site. Good thing is we do adjust it when mistakes are made.

+34% for the Xbox360 is great.

I just have to quote some PS3-fans 2007 (!!!): That is the peak year for the Xbox360. Halo3 was released, the Xbox360 has nothing left. Now the Xbox360 is in its fourth year and on track to set a new record. I still believe 12 million is doable this year.

 

-25% for PS3... well the PS3 has no chance to top the Xbox360 in NA.

 

If the trend lasts a few more months, I'm gonna raise my LTD for the 360 to 50M. Man, who would've thought.

I just injected you with PS3 fanboy optimism. Don't worry, there are no long term side-effects and the overall effect will wear off in about half a 10-year plan, which for some reason means 4 years.

 



Tease.

Yes! It's, weird... now I remember something about a fellow called Madoff... I suddenly feel optimistic about his promises on 15% ROI/year!

Anyways, 2009 might not be as boring as some thought, videogame sales wise.

that would skew the multiplier up!

@Darth: A lot of the consoles owned in Mexico are bought in the United States because they are cheaper and the Canadians IIRC follow the U.S trends pretty well.



Tease.

Hey i'm not picking on any of the playstation formats, i actually didn't say anything bad about any of them. Was just pointing out that all the other formats we're following pretty much the same pattern as each other but the PS3 seemed to be following a different drop % pattern.

Sony right now is the only one of the three who's growth has gone backwards. It needs to increase sales by 25% just to get back on par with sales this time last year. That is not a good sign for it's 2009 year.

But i love my PS3 and numbers won't change that. If only i could get my fecking music files to stream from my pc to my ps3 i would be over the moon :)

 

lol, I can get music to work decent, but I can't get my images over




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I can say you that in Mexico the PS3 is the worst selling console and the 360 is the best selling
