What do you think will happen this January?

Looks to me that January looks a lot like October.  Only change I see this year is that Kinect is on the market and believe there will be a good deal of leftover demand in January.  So Xbox numbers could be a good deal higher than last year.  Wii and PS3 will fall back to October 2010 pattern.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

LBP2 boost for PS3 one week...Mass effect PS3 will not lead to boost so I agree with your prediction except for one week. 360 will be higher than 2010 for sure and Wii..well should be same or lower

Only one I see marginally improving is 360 thanks to the Americas boost, the PS3/Wii should stay relatively the same except for the major software releases weeks, yet again I find myself doubting that LBP2 will give PS3 a substantional HW boost.. After an amazing holiday season the sales will most likely return to the depressing pattern witnessed last year.

Imo, PS3 could be a bit down YoY in Americas!



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

In my opinion Wii will be up YOY for most of 2011.

360 will be up YOY until Summer 2011 and then it will either stay the same or be down YOY.

PS3 will be down YOY for most of 2011 until a Price Cut.



I guess the question is, can Sony afford another substantional price cut($50 )?

The PS3 will crush the competition, just like it always does in the future.



well move and LBP2 should boost Sony higher, or give them a small lead. maybe all 3 will be be in the margen of error.

Move sure isn't helping PS3 currently as PS3 is down YOY the last few weeks.

I think the first quarter of 2011 Wii and PS3 will both be down YOY, Wii slightly down and PS3 down by a bit more than slight. :)

360 will be up slightly YOY, due to Kinect, IMO.



Why do people think Wii will be up YoY or the same?It has been down YoY for a few months now.



GT5 will show sexy legs and haters will hate it.

360 will sell like cakes but PS3 will cut the GAP like always happen.
