Actually if you look under annual summary it says 14.39 million for PS3, and their recent article says the same. VGC estimate PS3 finishing as 14.6 million (1.4% gain) and 360 finishing at 14.1 million (3.7% gain).
|
Then something isn't right. If you go by the new charts we have, it shows the PS3 sold ~13.9 million (got by subtracting the total of PS3s sold at the end of 2010 from the total sold at the end of 2009). I know the Kowen said that the HW tables we have still have the old unadjusted data. Could The Source be using that?

I dunno. I remember last year the PS3 ended at 14.44 million, and they adjusted it down to 14.39 million. It's been 14.39 all year, seems unlikely that they forgot to adjust that. If they adjust it, we will probably see that when they add in a 2011 slot for annual summary.
|
That's the thing, though. It seems they did quite a bit of adjusting while they were reworking the site. Everything is still not completely updated, which is why I always go by the Global Charts.
|
Then 360 was at 13.3 million or so last year.
Well that's good for PS3 and 360 then, but finally VGC estimate 2012 sales to be down, so I can start getting excited for the next gen.

Yea, that would put them both up for the year ~5%. And I don't know about 2012. I don't think the PS3 or 360 will be down by as much as VGC puts it (2.5 million for the PS3 and 3 million for the 360). Next year I can see them both taking the final plunge to the $199 price point (250GB SKU for the 360). This should help them at least stay flat or just slightly under. Either way, I don't think next year will determine when MS or Sony launch their next systems, as they are probably already shooting for 2013. And you're right, it will be exciting times again.
