I'd like to keep an eye on marketshare in here as well. Starting with January and working backwards (for Americas - next gen consoles only) Next gen total = 8,199,000 360 - 66.29% Wii - 21.01% PS3 - 12.70% Through December 31: (7,106,250 total) 360 - 71.81% Wii - 17.49% PS3 - 10.70% Through Nov 30: (4,543,500 total) 360 - 83.25% Wii - 11.85% PS3 - 4.9% At January rates 360 would be down to a plurality by the end of June. Unless 360 can outsell PS3 & Wii combined in that time period for at least one month, I suspect no console will have the 'majority' the rest of this generation in North America. Prediction: End Feb: 360 - 61%, Wii 25%, PS3 14% End March: 360 - 57%, Wii 27%, PS3 16% End April: 360 - 53%, Wii 31%, PS3 16% End May: 360 - 51%, Wii 32%, PS3 - 17% End June: 360 48%, Wii 33.5%, 18.5% End July: 360 - 47%, Wii 34%, PS3 19% End Aug: 360 - 46%, Wii 34%, PS3 20% End Sept: 360 - 46%, Wii 35%, PS3 19% End October: 360 - 43%, Wii 37%, PS3 20% End November: 360 - 45%, Wii 36%, PS3 19% End December: 360 46%, Wii 36%, PS3 18% Net 2007 Gains/Losses 360 -20% Wii +15% PS3 +5%
