| TheSource said: This is going to be a horrble year for the global industry if the Wii U and 3DS don't pick up soon. Week 3 2013: 535,000 systems Week 3 2012: 847,000 systems Drop: -37%
Week 1-3 2013: 2,672,000 systems Week 1-3 2012: 3,666,000 systems Drop: -27%
PS3 + X360 in Week 1-3 2013: 909,000 systems PS3 + X360 in Week 1-3 2012: 1,483,000 systems Drop: -39%
PS3 + X360 in 2012: 21,083,000 PS3 + X360 Current Pace for 2013: 12,860,000 (-39%) That comes out to like 7m PS3s and 5.9m X360s
The whole year is probably going to be like this: 3DS - 15m globally (5.8m Japan, 7m US & EU, 2.2m elsewhere) Wii U - 7m* (3m US, 2m EU, 1.3m JP, 0.7m elsewhere) PS3 - 7m (2.3m US, 3m EU, 0.8m JP, 0.9m elsewhere) X360 - 5.9m (3m US, 1.8m EU, 1.1m elsewhere) Vita - 4.0m (1.3m US, 1.3m EU, 900k JP, 0.5m elsewhere) Wii - 2.0m (0.8m US, 0.4m EU, 0.3m JP, 0.5m elsewhere) PS4 - 2.0m (0.7m US, 0.8m EU, 0.4m JP, 0.1m elsewhere) Xbox 720 - 2.0m (1m US, 1m EU) PSP - 1.3m (0.1m US, 0.4m EU, 0.3m JP, 0.5m elsewhere) * Assumes price cut in April I'm being fairly optimistic with a lot of these, but it still comes out to everything being 10% from 2012 (52m to 46m) |
You're being too optimistic about Wii U sales. By the looks of it, it's going to be difficult for it to match PS360 sales.
