Wii stabilising in pole-position. 3DS sells with good games.

That's harsh, man. Yeah, I know OoT 3D just flopped, but still... way too harsh, man.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV (360+PS3) would outsell SSBB. I was wrong.

Okay, you want me to be nice?
OoT at least made no#1 on Top of the Flops chart.
EDIT: BTW these forums are horrendous to navigate these days. I mean, worse than how bad they were. Which was much worse than what they were a while ago.

Yeah, that's better.
The forums aren't too bad now. Okay, it took me more than a week to get really used to them, but that was more or less because I wasn't able to log in for a whole week as soon as the site update launched.

I'll just repost my comment from the Americas up thread.
Some of the things MS have said are just not adding up. They expect to be #1 this year, which would mean that they must expect to sell more than PS3's projected 15 million (unless Sony expect PS3 to sell noticeably more in Q1 2012 than Q1 2011). That would be a 1.5 million YOY increase. But the only way I can see that happening is if they had announced a price cut at E3. Looking at the future forecast they're going to lose all of their YOY gains in the next 5 weeks or so and from the European slim launch onward it's nothing but very difficult comparisons through the rest of the year. I'm not even sure if a $100 cut would be enough to put them 1.5 million in the positive, especially with the huge boost Kinect gave them last year.
Aside from that decent numbers for PS3 and Wii, only moderately down YOY. Although it's pretty clear Wii is going to fall very significantly behind last year overall. Handhelds are just pathetic across the board though. Heh, when was the last time a Japan only 360 game cracked the top 40? Monster Hunter Frontier?

Proudest Platinums:
1. Persona 4 Arena
2. Wipeout HD
3. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
4. Street Fighter 4
5. Blazblue Continuum Shift
Wow, that's a pretty big boost for the 3DS in Japan. Wonder why the Americas are so low... And PS3 sales are almost identical in EMEAA and the Americas lol.
