360 really doesn't have a reason to be selling that much, I have a feeling once shipped numbers come out things will look differently, something just seems off, 360 hasn't even had a notable exclusive launch this year and kinect sales are droping and are less then the amount 360s are rising, the only other thing I can think of is people replacing 360s that broke but that doesn't make much sense either why now


Um, it's only February. Also, why would someone go out and pay for a 360 out of their own pocket when Microsoft would repair it for free?

Well there is a Kinect exclusive coming out next week, and games like Dead Space 2, and especially Test Drive Unlimited 2 (a sequel to a 360 exclusive), push more hardware on the 360. Not to mention, the 360 just came out of shortages, so people who wanted one in January can finally get one. Also, other then LBP2 and Killzone 3, what notable PS3 exclusives are there? What about Wii? PSP? DS? No one has anything really stellar now, all the big games are multiplatform HD.

Good point, maybe bulletstorm is selling the 360 consoles that would make sense, old 360 dev, shooter, over the top to grab attention that might be it 

Yes, Bulletstorm is a good example of a game that would sell better on the 360 then PS3. 360 has a larger US audience, which is more shooter oriented. Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 should help PS3 numbers though to be fair.

I think that's good like that for us consumers, Nintendo needs to drop the Wii price, and We need the new Nintendo Home console.

About DS its normal when a new next gen system is coming in about a month

YOY

360 - UP 12k

Wii - DOWN 37k

PS3 - DOWN 37k

DS - DOWN 59k

PSP - DOWN 13k

PS2 - DOWN 15k

 

Conclusion: PSP close the gap with PS2... LOL



Oh dear, Wii needs a pricecut. The trouble is if they were planning one it probably wouldn't be until post E3 at the earliest, or September/October more realistically...

How low will the Wii go before then though, that's the big question.

NPD comes out this week...and it is going to be interesting to point the direction of gaming, until some major events....i.e. price cuts.

eh old 360 dev?

Epic has been multplat for every game series but gears of war... that does not make them a 360 dev... UT was in fact on ps3 a year or something before the 360 version...

The funny thing is, Wii software is still on the top.


lol Wii software should actually be a lot more. 10 million higher userbase than the 360 in the US and yet it's selling roughly the same. Even in EMEEA.

PS3 isn't that far off either.

The PSP is dead in NA.

360 is doing great with the PS3 and Wii doing okay.

DS is dropping fast as expected.

What is up with your predictions for the end of the year especially for ps3 and 360 you think the xbox will only sell 5 million in a year and the ps3 to only sell 8 million this year im sorry those are terrible sale predictions. 

Lol woops, It's supposed to be 63 and 65 million. I can't believe I haven't noticed it.

Maybe 'cause there's 1 Wii game out of 3-4 HD games? Third party support is nearly non existent...



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

 

Excellent XB360, not exactly good Sony, PS3 and PSP will need a price drop next Autumn, and how about Nintendo? Wii needs a Balance Board bundle also in America, maybe it wouldn't be enough to give it back USA, but it would most probably be enough to get back WW weekly leadership also outside of Xmas season.
