Last 12 Months (Dec 2011 - Nov 2012):
X360 - 5.7m (down from an all time peak of 7.4m)
PS3 - 3.4m - 3.6m ish (down from an time peak of 5.0m)
PS2 - 100k ish?
Vita - 1m - 1.1m
Wii - 2.5m - 2.7m ish (down from an all time peak of 10.9m)
Wii U - 400k
3DS - 3.8m - 4.0m
DS - 1.9m - 2.0m
That's less than 20m units of hardware (probably about 19m) - down from 34-35m just a few years ago (2008-2009) and down from 26m last year.
It's looking like X360 will be at 5.2m ish, Wii will be at 2m, and PS3 will be at 3m ish for the year (Jan-Dec), plus 1m for Wii U, 3.5m for 3DS, 1.8m for DS, and 1.4m for Vita, roughly half the level of 2008-2009.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
