So currently, the best selling console of each year in this generation is: 2007~2010: Wii 2011: XBOX360 2012: PS3 Above is based on shipment figure of each calendar year. 2005 & 2006 are not inclued because Wii and PS3 were not launched worldwide. Why shipment figure? Because it is the only official worldwide numbers we can have and it indicates the sales for the manufacturers. |
MS over shipped in 2011. Nintendos results for the yr. 2011 has Sony as the won winning 2011. yes Nintendo tracks rival consoles and reports on them.
the evidence in that Sony shipped 70m just 1 month after MS did in 2012. and the gap between the 2. if MS would have outsold Sony in 2011 the gap between the 2 would still be 2.5-3m.
use vgc europe, and Japan numbers from 2011, and NPD for U.S. 2011. if you do all the math Sony outsold MS in 2011.
MS would have to be massively down yr over yr. for 2012 for that to happen, and based on MS 2011 14.9m shipped and Sony 14.1m shipped.
if you use either as sold then MS is down 4.1m from 2011 and Sony 2.1m. the math isn't there. i've never seen a console that was well supported be down by near 4m units WW.
the numbers we have right now make more sense.
MS sold 13.3 2011 means they are down 2.8m for 2012
Sony sold 13.9m 2011 means they 1.9-2m for 2012
no debate or arguement. just thought i'd point it out.
