Nice to see some updates.

Surprised they are even selling 360s in Japan still

They're not though, they're selling a 360, not 360s!

Also I'd imagine this number could be off by 1.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

PS Vita in North America...

While it is bad in NA, if you look at it globally, still over the Wii-U and sitting at around 1/3rd the number of global X1's sold, that console still has some Vita in it.... see..... did you see? what I did there?

I love what you did there!



Laziest update. Absolutely no adjustments were made to the previous numbers, so now these numbers are even worse.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Agreed, no point in caring about this update because it's a pure estimate not based in any sort of fact outside of my NPD leaks and Media Create Japanese numbers.

Well, at least they are making the estimates from good reliable sources lol.

I've lost all interest in the sales updates here. I see VGC more as a sales discussion site now and not a sales tracking site.

Honestly that's the only reason I'm here. We get worldwide data from NPD and GfK and so much of the recent Chartz estimates are inaccurate to the point that that I don't even look at them when I need sales data quickly because they can't be trusted.

This site is pretty good for historical sales, though.



Wii U down 40-50% weekly for the start of the summer, it seems. Splatoon really was the life vest last year around the Q2/Q3 transition. PS4 down a fair bit yoy, not having the amazing year many thought it would, and the numbers could even be too high, given our poor tracking so far this year.
It seems that the 20 million CY will be elusive in 2016 as well, with roughly 6 million sold for 6.5 months, that's a lot of ground to cover to reach 20 million for the CY (a 583k average for the remainder of 2016 will require a Wii-like holiday season).
Xbox One down as well, the 8th gen simply doesn't seem to have any spark in it compared to the two previous generations, much like anticipated.
At this rate, even 180 million total home console sales will be a hard target, and even with both handhelds added in, we probably won't beat the numbers the Wii, 360 and PS3 did combined either for this gen.



Kudos to the people in Japan who actually bought a Xbox 😂

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.
