Prediction:

360 - undertracked by 50k
PS3 - undertracked by 50k-100k
3DS - spot on
Vita - undertracked by 30k
Wii - undertracked by 20k

Pretty nice prediction here.

I am happy for the The Show series, never played the full game, but from what I played (not being a baseball fan), the level of detail is tremendous. I will go on the line and say that The Show brand should be expanded to other sports also.

The more I see how Sony talks about the Vita, the more I see it in trouble rigth now. More then price they need big time exclusive content in there.

PS3 is selling better then usual compared to the 360 as it should (price drops), the question still remains, will sony introduce a new slimmer PS3 model after the 360 makes a HUGE price cut at E3? Or will they bank on the 199 console "only" factor?

Well, in the country where we likely have the most reliable data, our first month is 25-30% less than actual for vita. Let's not start counting it out just yet.

Not counting anything out, I just talked about how Sony talks about the Vita. Skype? Are you serious? It´s like they did a solid job of providing good launch games, and still made a big mistake of not providing a good flow of games until E3. After E3 it is another ball game, but until then, if you want the regular consumer to pay 250 just for the handheld machine, it need constant games coming. I will not even talk about the horrible decision they made of releasing the machine sooner on the region where PSP was big and still selling like crazy, without games for that market.

I know that if the Vita manages to stay unhackable for the majority of the consumer, it will outsell the PSP when it is all said and done, having said that Sony is still making big time mistakes at console releases, Sony needs to be a quicker seller, instead of starting slow and losing potential big money with lack of software sales in the beginning of new gen consoles.

March and early April were bad but rest of Q2 looks much better:

04/17 - Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (PSV)

05/01 - Mortal Kombat (PSV)

05/29- Resistance

05/31 - Silent Hill: Book of Memories (PSV)

06/12 - Gravity Rush (PSV)

end of June - LBP
