Looks like the market as a whole has recovered a bit from last weeks' lows. The Wii U being up for no specific reason really says it all.

The 3DS is trailing behind its last YTD, but the release schedule of the first half of the year hasn't been all that great and the best is yet to come in this year. No signs to worry.

The PSV is the only system that is up YTD, but it's pretty much solely because of this year's price cut. No signs of the system taking off anytime soon, but on the other hand a long term presence in the market seems to be secured at this point (judging from the release schedule in BaldrSkies's thread).

Big releases don't have much of an effect on PS3 hardware sales anymore, so it's highly improbable that the system will pass the Wii in lifetime sales or even come close.

Wii U was always destined to struggle, because developing for Nintendo home consoles is beneath Japanese third parties. A fact that got further emphasized by Kingdom Hearts 3 going to the X1, but not the Wii U. Nintendo is the only console manufacturer left that still sees Japan as a tier 1 market, but that doesn't mean one bit to anyone.

I think MGS and Final Fantasy and Kingdoms Heart are the only games witch will boost Ps3

i think jojo can do it.
