I don't know what people are saying about Wii U, it's doing amazing. Already close to 1.5 million units, and if it keeps this up, annual sales could match PSV's!

2010, 2008, 2006.

Obviously 2009 was PS3's year, and I don't know what happened in 2007.

Maybe a mainstream Halo is detrimental to console sales that year. After all 2007 was the only other unusually weak holiday for 360 other then 2012 and what do we have both years?

The domination in these years is like this year (close)... 300-500k... not massive like 2011.

It's looking to be so, but 2010 was pretty massive too, was it not? Guess the annual gap will be about 1 this year in favor of PS3. That means PS3 will only have what 2.2 million to catch up? 2014 is looking to be a great year for Sony.

Well those numbers are still really good. DS not as high... :(


Still amazing that it outsells the Vita, though.

But, yeah, 600K+ would have been insane.


oh you :P

DS - 660k (wtf?)

Probably an adjustment.

Wow Dec 1st weekly has PS3 above 360....in the holiday season. Weird.

besides 2011, I just don't remember this 360 great domination during the holidays. Can you remind me?

in 2010, Ms and Sony shipped the same amount of console during the holidays. I don't remember Ms dominating in 2008 at all. I'll give you 2006 as the PS3 was released in just 2 tertitories'

Sony and MS will be in some deep shit if they don't get those consoles out in 2013 - which I don't think they will. Nintendomination! indeed.

Why do you think this?


Just a gamer's guess really. But because consoles are normally revealed one year, say at E3, then released sometime the follwoing year. I think it is against tradition for a console to be announced, significant number and quality games developed, consoles manufactured, and the console released, all in the same year (oh and another avoid RROD! fiasco). It's a tall order.

It has been a tradition. But then again, it's a flawed tradition that would eventually be discarded. By announcing a new console over a year before release, you discourage millions of potential customers from buying the current consoles. The traditional method simply isn't the best method to follow. I expect new console announcements in the beginning of next year.

we'll see.

I love My Wii U, and the potential it brings to gaming.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND... DS overtakes PS2.

not this again...DS will never overtake the PS2...just no. Thanks for coming out.

See for yourself.

okay, those Wii U sales make me a little happier. Good to see a little boost in NA and hopefully Europe doesnt drop any lower. 2.5-3million by the end of the year seems likely and I think that is a respectable number...

Hey that's great! :D

The top selling video game system of all time really should be a Nintendo system.

Glad to see it happen!
