I don't recall, but a lot of users(maybe you included) said that HD console sales would be down significantly after the WII u launched because it was nexgen.......

and PS2 destroyed everything for two years after everything launched due to the fact the PS2 was $129/$99 and still getting high quality AA/AAA ip

 

I mean Wii was $89.99 for black friday.. and sold 300K

I'd like you to find those posts, because I never said PS360's decline was or would be due to WiiU or anything else but the fact that this gen is ending and they are down YOY in double digits already.

Sure 700k is nice, but last year it was 1m. That's a ~30% drop. Part is obviously a gen ending and part might be related to WiiU or 3DS or Apple or a sale on Oreos. Wii was also down due to gen ending and frankly, the Wii being saturated in the market with no new content at all.

Anyone's point that this is some sort of victory for MS is very wrong. Facts are 360 and PS3 are down, significantly, YOY. The gen is over. By this time next year, WiiU will be in 10 million sold range and neXtBox/PS4 will be on shelves.

EDIT: one more note, PS360 were heavily adverstized in EVERY black friday ad. Did you see any WiiU ads?
