Global Hardware by Platform

week ending January 24th 2009

Wii - 430,295
DS - 380,788
PSP - 168,232
X360 - 158,827
PS3 - 149,395

Look at the numbers above from 4 years ago, that is what late January numbers should look like.

This gen is fucking awful.

Final console gen unless sales of everything go up by a huge degree.

January 27th 2007 is the comparable timeframe

DS	380,526	(+24%)	36,093,151
Wii	251,288	(+2%)	4,007,149
PSP	162,208	(-4%)	20,351,200
X360	113,045	(-3%)	8,480,456
PS3	74,220	(-7%)	1,632,136

 

handhelds are doing terrible though I'm not sure if the overlap for them is the same as the home consoles considering the platform totals totals.

ps4 to the wii (sytems selling the most of the 2 without a year head start) is a large drop but ps4 is missing Japan so it's not as terrible and the ps4 total is still higher than the wii in the same time frame.

wii u vs 360 (systems with the year head start) wii u is doing way less than the 360 it's less than half for the week and several million behind the total.

xbox one vs ps3 (system selling the less of the 2 without the head start) a difference of what 1,500? and it's also what double the total sales? yes ps3 didnt yet have europe but xbox one is missing many markets.

Okay

2007 Nintendo - 631,814 with 2 consoles

2014 Nintendo - 191,141 with 3 consoles

 

2007 Microsoft - 113,045 with 1 console

2014 Microsoft - 111,132 with 2 consoles

 

2007 Sony - 236,428 with 2 consoles

2014 Sony - 282,529 with 4 consoles

 

2014 still looks like crap to me.

Still lacks perspective.

 

2007 was before smartphones took a gigantic bite out of the handheld market, which explains the lower handheld sales.

2007 also included Japan sales for MS and Sony while these 2014 do not.

Outside factors dont change the fact that sales have drastically declined

As for Sony, PS3 wasnt available in Europe yet which is much bigger than Japan.
