^ if anything has been overtracked every month this year, it's the 360. Feels that way, anyway.

I'd hate to say "I told you so", but anyone spewing words during the last couple of weeks about the 3DS not destroying everything in it's path this holiday should start eating crow now. You know who you are ...

EDIT: Better yet, my prediction of the 3DS beating every 8th gen console in the US combined has also come true. With 20k to spare even!

3DS beasting! poor performance from 360/ps3 but i think that was expected. Xbox one sales in EU are bad if it didnt sell out, but i am thinking it did so those numbers mean nothing really. Vita bombed in BF


How did Vita bomb in black friday? It sold about 8 times more than it usually does in the US in a good week.

NPD will certainly be interesting. 3DS seems high. 360, PS3 and PS4 seems low. I believe those Xbox one and Wii U numbers due to the massive amounts of advertising I been seeing.

It didn't bomb but i think people expected alot more especially since i think everybody wants it to be up YoY! 2012 BF week had vita at 221k WW (but to be fair COD was released for vita)

Vita to me is the perfect example of what is going to happen to PS4 and Xbone. Great starting sales and after the shooter fans got it, no one cares. Tearaway actually looks really cool but good luck selling a so called "kids" game to people who just want to play COD.
