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.

PS3 3m for the year? It's already at 2.7m+ and 3DS is at 2.4m+. Do you expect 3DS to outsell PS3 by ~800k in December?

I don't have full numbers, don't follow the industry much now.

3DS will probably double in December, I think Wii, X360, and PS3 will all be much flatter, up at most 50% from November. I was rounding for some of those, I'd go 5.2m X360, 3.5m 3DS,  3.2m PS3, 2.1m Wii, 1.4m Vita, 1.1m Wii U and maybe 400k for PSP & PS2 for the whole year in each case. My standard for an average year is 4.0m - so that's a pretty crappy year industry wide. If you do 250k x 10 months (43 weeks), you get 2.5m, plus 500k in Nov, and 1m in December for 4m. 

Also:

Wii era systems (Wii, X360, PS3): 99m

PS2 era systems (PS2, Xbox, GC): 71m

Will top 100m "current gen systems" in the US in December, just about 95% of US households have one console in theory (if we pretend multi-ownership doesn't exist).
