Good sales for 360.  It is now strongly established in US and I believe it's got the benefit currently of the tail spike from Kinect's launch plus a new, higher demand baseline due to Kinect.  Very good performance in the US.

PS3 is okay TBH.  the PS3 is more expensive and from a games perspective the PS3/360 are almost identical in power/library so given the higher price it should sell less than 360.  BR players are cheap now and 360 has the Kinect boost.  PS3 numbers are fine to keep it relevant particularly when balanced worldwide where 360 is weaker.

Wii down and clearly on an overall downward trend - but all the doom predictions are way too harsh.  The Wii has a huge lead, will spike big again holiday 2011 and likly remain comfortably ahead of 360 in US.  How close they are now depends on what Nintendo can do to boost sales - price cuts, etc - and what MS can do to try and further boost 360 performance.

As for Mass Effect 2 in US what did people expect?  It launched as a console exclusive in the region where 360 is more dominant.  There is also the stigma of a "late port".  I think it'll actually see okay legs when the price drops - which it needs to - and PS3 owners in US feel the ratio of value is right.  It's clear that despite the games strong reviews and reputation most people feel full price for a late port is too much no matter how good the game.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
