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 fairly pesimistic with a lot of those.

Let me correct you:

Vita will do more than 4m (lol, you forgot to *assume no pricecut this entire year)

PS3 will do more than 7m(lol, it will easily pass 9m)

360 will do more than 5.9m(lol, it did that in previous Q alone)

WiiU will do more than 7m, it gets a Mario game and pricecut this year
