Xbox 360 about to pass Wii for King of 7th Gen in North America!

It's been an odd generation indeed. The console that sells the most (albeit in the USA after Wii U released) in the biggest and 3rd biggest console markets ends up selling the least globally. And the console that has sold least in those 2 markets, and 2nd in the 2nd biggest console market (Japan) could end up selling the most. Though honestly I think the bottom is going to drop out of PS3 and X360 when PS4bone launch. Maybe one last hurrah this holidays, but they'll be dead and buried, more or less, by holiday 2014. So I don't see PS3 catching Wii.

Best thing about this generation though is that every home console sold well, and sold plenty of software.

I think that the current gens will lose out on sales to next gen's, unless there is something major happeneing.  Like a super price reduction or something.

Microsoft is still planning on selling another 20+ million Xbox 360's.  I don't know if that is going to happen.  Perhapse a $149 250G + Kinect would do it.

I agree, I don't see the PS3 doing much after the PS4 comes out.  Unless they make it like $99 or something.  Then it would be like 'a blu-ray plus.'   People now are more used to 'getting the new thing' plus this gen has been around a long time.
