Best selling console for 2011? (Big Three)

[postofficebuddy]

In regards to PS3 being up YOY people need to go back and throughly look at last years numbers. I've said this a couple of times already. PS3 pulled relatively impressive numbers last year, but it wasn't because of any single major event or release that brought it to that. Sales were simply consistently good throughout the year. March and September both present somewhat difficult comparissons to its current baseline because in March's case it had a large number of big blockbuster releases (FFXIII, GOW3, Hokuto Mousuo, Yakuza 4, Torne) and September saw the release of move and SKU shift to the 160 and 320 GB models. But outside of those months the YOY comparisons aren't particulary steep compared to the level that it's currently selling at, and even those months aren't that steep. ATM it's only down YOY a mere 220k (-8%). Assuming it comes out of March with about a 300k YOY loss total it probably wouldn't expand very much through spring and summer. If a price cut were to happen in summer it would probably erase the declines that it had in the space of 2-4 weeks. And even the holiday numbers wouldn't be too hard to match primarily because the Japan sales were pretty crap-tastic last December. A situation that FFXIII-2 should remedy this year, especially if there's another special edition bundle. And honestly, at this point I think it's pointless to argue whether or not PS3 will be up YOY because we'll probably know whether or not it will be when we see Sony's fiscal year projection in a little more than a month.
