360 really doing well in US via Kinect and CoD but maybe a little low for other titles, but right now MS focus is pushing consoles so that's not an issue.

PS3 okay for price and lack of anything new apart from GT, which has been a steadily declining title.  Really Sony missplayed this holiday season in US I think.  They needed a lower price SKU and at least one more attractive title than GT.  Sony always seem to be thinking about the long game, but sooner or later, particularly in US, you need to perform some good short term execution, too.

Wii did very well and with this holiday I think secured itself an unassailable lead unless 360 or PS3 pull off a miracle (worldwide).  It has rose at the crucial time and retains a huge lead with just too little time left now for the HD twins.

Kind of sad to see the GT numbers, but I don't think the game was put together or market well to appeal, and missplayed the Nascar elements badly.

Beastly 360 Numbers... PS3 down from last year... not too surprising since GT5 was pushed back and moved around, and then wasn't rated that well after all that.  Wii beasting, even over DS, wowie!

PS3 getting trounced in the Americas, in a really bad way. 360 has staggering sales and the Wii continues the massive decline.

DS seems immortal at this point and the PSP might was well go die in a corner somewhere.

Looks like you'll be massively off your Wi and 360 predictions! Might get PS3 spot on though.

americas will never let ps3 outsell xbox360 worldwide any week this holiday

ACtually, That is kind of true where I live. People dont say PLAYSTATION, they say SONY. Not Playstation. SONY.

My Wii prediction will be quite close actually but (the sheer disbelief from people when someone predicted less than 20 million sold for the calendar year was incredible in january), yes, my 360 prediction will be an epic fail. PS3 could end up spot on for sure but the DS will grossly overshoot, even the PSP.

Overall, I think I got the trends right, only they're a year or so early. Besides, compared to previous years, these predictions are incredibly accurate.

Edit; yeah, checked the numbers, if the Wii continues to have the same YOY decline it has had the last two weeks (which seems quite likely) in all territories, it will end up maybe around 1 million above my year end prediction, which is basically well within the margin of error for most people's prediction and still way below the average expectation for the calendar year. My prediction seems quite accurate as it turns out. I overshot my Wii prediction by five million last year and said "I will never overestimate the Wii again.". Seems like a good idea in hindsight since it brought me a whole lot closer to an accurate prediction.

They were sound  predictions a year ago, if MS didn't have Slim, and Kinect wasn't as big as it is, 46 mill would have been spot on more than likely, it really was looking bleak!

Yeah, I freely admit that I underestimated Kinect tremendously and I honestly believed that both Kinect and Move would be nothing but flops. I look on the bright side of it though; the recent HD motion control success will make Malstrom double over in agony!

well, in France, they like Sony AND Playstation

but I dont have the feeling everything with this brand is an "instant buy" for french

what is true is that the Xbox brand is weaker than the PS brand
