Wow, IDC's figure of 76.0 million by end of 2012 was pretty close.

That means the PS3 only has to have shipped a record 8-9 million in one quarter in a slow year to make their PS3 figure of 77.0 million shipped accurate haha...

Me thinks they are still way off. Sony didn't release shipment figures for PS3 last quarter, and if they don't again this quarter, me thinks this means they not doing so good. Me. Me. ME!

They didn't for the entire past year when they were outshipping 360 and Wii combined. I wouldn't be surprised to see that not changing. However, PS2 shipments have almost stopped so PS3 should account for the vast majority.

Wait, if what you just said is true (that Sony hasn't released any PS3 shipment figures for the past year), how do we know the PS3 has been outshipping the 360 all of 2012? And outshipping 360 + Wii combined? I find that quite a stretch. 360 did outship/outsell it in 2011 after all.

They did release ps3 shipments.  They just lumped them together with ps2 shipments too.  The lastest ps3 shipments is the 70 million they announced as of november 1st or somewhere around there.  And MS announced 70 million shipped in late september, so the 360 and ps3 are pretty close.  I'm thinking sony shipped 6.0-6.5 million for the quarter putting it even closer to the 360 and likely undertracked by a little too.
