I've got about 41.6m lifetime for Wii in the US, 41.1m for X360 in the US. If the X360 really sold less than 50k and Wii sold less than 25k, all off the sudden it looks like X360 outselling Wii cumulatively in the US is off the table again. The margins will only shrink on average with time as both remnants of the long tail collapse.

I really don't understand why people are so surprised with the low numbers, it was pretty obvious by mid-2011 that everything was going to decline very rapidly starting in 2012, and so all the new consoles really should have been out by December 2012.

PS3, by the way, is at 25.6m lifetime, so that <60k figure that  is being rumored is arguably worse than the X360 / Wii low figures as it's been on the market a short time and has the most users to sell to.

The figures for January imply Wii at < 0.3m, for 2014 in the US, PS3 at <0.8m and X360 at <0.65m

X1 more like 2-3m

PS4 - 4m-5m

Wii U -  0.7m

3DS - 2m-3m
