IDC is estimating the future based on current trends so they needed final 2012 figures to go forward. X360 & PS3 declined in Q4 2012 from last year, so just take their Q4 2011 figures and add that to Q3 2012 as a maximum for where they are through the end of 2012.

"IDC is estimating the future based on current trends so they needed final 2012 figures to go forward."

Quite true, In my Opinion

"X360 & PS3 declined in Q4 2012 from last year, so just take their Q4 2011 figures and add that to Q3 2012 as a maximum for where they are through the end of 2012."

which is where Most likely IDC has their Number's from, Once again in my Opinion. The Decline Number's for the xbox360 &the PS3  will tell in my Opinion on How close IDC is.

but if the past 3 years are anything to go by, Sony has shipped over 6 Million systems listed for a 3RD quarter 3 year's in a row, now of course the decline % will have an effect on that number no doubt for the 2012 number, but the Question is by How much if any thing near say a million off? even so that would still put the total near 77.4 if the number is not off by a million. if the past 3 straight year's  number trend for Q3 +Q4 still Hold's
