Nintendo Software LTDs:
Super Mario 3D Land: 2.1 Million
Mario Kart 7: 1.75 Million
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time: 1 Million

Lowest June for US Consoles since June 2000 (!), June 2001, June 2002, etc all the way to June 2011 saw the US market buy 600,000 - 1.6 million consoles. June 2012 was more like 540,000. Not quite as bad May though, when it was the worst May for consoles since 1998 in the US. Exceptionally bad Jan-June for consoles as well.

LTDS -

3DS - 5m

Vita - 675k ish

Wii - 39.5+m

X360 - 34.3+m

PS3 - 21.3+m

DS - 52m

PS2 - 46m

PSP - 20.5m ish (have to check this one)

X360 in the past 12 months - 6.5m (all time 12 month-high: 7.4m)

PS3 in the past 12 months - 4.2m (all time 12 month high: 5.0m)

Wii in the past 12 months - 3.6m (all time 12 month high: 10.9m)

well analysts were wrong about the 3DS, it did increase.

Xbox number is wrong no? It's not that close to the wii.

I think that is due to them beaing out for only a little while.

Doesn't VGC base off of Market-Paterns and Consumer Trends? I think that's why DS looks almost the same all across; it's been out for awhile.

VGC offline in NPD time... lol lol lol.

My bad, X360 is at 34.3m in the US.

The interesting thing is from about mid 2006 to mid 2011 consoles, in whatever combination (including PS2, GC and Xbox) were selling 17m - 20m or so every 12 months. That number is way down, to like 14.3m, and still rapidly dropping as PS3 / X360 are now dropping quickly too.

I do think we'll see one last run of decent to strong non-holiday Wii numbers when they cut to $100 (cutting to $130 wouldn't do anything) if they leave it bundled with a game. The holiday numbers won't be great, with Wii U and other price cuts possibly coming too, but the Wii holiday line up still has a hand full of major releases to keep it from doing say, 300,000 in December or something irrelevant.

If it was me, I'd cut Wii to $100 in October - let it ride it out the holiday at that price point with Just Dance 4 / Epic Mickey 2, a new wave of cheaper software, and potentially additional retailer discounts.

Wii U (assuming it launches for $300 or less with NSMB Wii U and a bundled game), should sell over a million in Nov-Dec just in the US, so it doesn't really matter if Wii only does like 500,000 in Nov and 750,000 in Dec (which is my current estimate if they cut price in Oct).

Down during NPD...
VGC couldn't care less about sales.
What is next? No numbers and downtime during holiday season?

Great tables Boutros!

Hey this is the first time in quite a while that NPD has the 360 above Vgchartz estimates.
