Well whats the highest xmas sales for any console WW, the last 2/3 months of the year. Has any one done around 7 million ww ?

If yes then the other two could mount a nice comeback just through the virtue of having plenty stock to sale.

To my knowledge last year when the DS did >5million in Dec it was far and away the best Dec sales of any console or handheld to date.

Edit:

 

Year	Wii	360	PS3	DS	PSP
Dec 2006	2,508,449	1,999,925	843,598	5,455,681	2,127,224
Dec 2005	N/A	828,705	N/A	4,591,563	2,881,877

 

 

PS - Anyone have data for PS2/PS1 best X-mas numbers?

Edit: From what I can see on the charts the PS1 never comes anywhere near a 5m Dec, but the PS2 looks like it couldof hit that in Dec '01/'02.

 

Edit2: Missread your post, so yeah it looks like there is a precedent for hotselling items like the PS2/DS etc... to hit 7 million or more in the last 2 to 3 months. But the 360 and PS3 are no where near the level of summer sales the PS2/DS were getting before those big holiday numbers. Its possible sure...but so very unlikely.

 The GBA SP reportedly sold 4 million in North America alone during Christmas 05... Do the charts show that here?  I remember that was a huge deal...
