Tbh I see all home consoles fall roughly Q1 2012 YOY.

20 to 40 % down across the months for all 3 home consoles.


Why would PS3 be so down after price cut few months ago ?

Market saturation imho. 210 Mil home consoles have been sold this gen. I don't expect the market to gobble them up this year tbh (w/ wo/ recent/impending price cuts). And then continued financial stress globally, but that's always an uncertainty, I hold more to the first factor.

I also doubt the robustness of the unusual always up curve I see with the Xbox, I don't expect it to continue (e.g. more weight towards general market fatigue).

Also, much of what would've been bought this year was bought during holiday 2011 thanks to bundles/deals. 2011 holiday performance was much higher than expected traditionally at this point in a generation. That sales buffer can considerably affect this year's performance accross the board.
