sales down 70% from last year: that isn't an good sign for the industry and an sign that the market is tapping out or its time to release next gen and aim at more mass market appeal especially to the new games from facebook and ios/android fronts and tempting them into the console market space. 

If you're getting those percentages from ethomaz's post, those are full year percentages. So, the PS3 is down 75% on the full year sales of 2010, so it's sold 25% of what the PS3 did for the whole of 2010 so far in 2011. That's not too bad (1/3rd of the way through 2011, but the holidays are bigger than the rest of the year).

OMG, thank you!  I finally get what those percentages mean.  I was seeing those each week and didn't get why it was down by so much.  Kinda a weird way to report numbers, if you ask me, but at least now I know what it means.
