But PS3+360 are still selling pretty damn well.


To give you a clue here. Wii has been on sale for just about 6 years and has sold 8 million. Ps3 came out 3 months after wii and has sold 5 million. Now you can argue that ps3 started at a far more expensive price but wii, so far, has beaten it. Especially when wii and ps3 are so close in time frame.

Considering the numbers were higher then expected and they still shifted most (if not all) their stock I would say they did well. To deem this a failure like runqvist did is utterly foolish. But at least you are willing to give some kind of credit. They got more numbers then they expected and there are still reports of shortages so they should be happy.

It is possible nintendo is taking things slower in this region to keep up with demand as it is there. Although it could also partly be the controller causing stock to slow down. I would like to hear what runqvist says next year should there be reports of lower sales from xbox. Which wouldn't surprise me. If you look at 3ds and vita's struggles here you can hear them shouting to be £150 or they won't sell thick and fast.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D
