So there you have it and i think from those numbers you can pretty much see that all consoles have fallen quite a lot from sales this time last year. You can see the biggest fall was the PS3 which fell almost 50% on numbers last year.
In my view the fact the consoles are all down in sales and the PS3 is down 50% almost means the race for this Gen is now officially over. The Wii has won but is now selling a lot less. The 360 came 2nd but is selling a lot less. And PS3 is 3rd and selling a lot less. There is no chance the 360 will catch the Wii with the gap what it is and there is very little chance the PS3 can increase sales by 100% and expect the 360 to drop sales by 100% to catch it, that wont happen.
