These drops give me the impression that despite the holidays, PS3 might be winning in worldwide HW sales for a major part of this year, or at least early on in it. EMEAA & Japan are the Golden Geese so  to speak..

It might have a chance, depending on how much all the SW can boost (or keep steady) it in Q1/Q2, but the 360's lead in America will probably be too much to combat with Japan bringing so little to the WW total. We don't really know how SW will be for PS3 in Japan throughout the year neither. If the Wii suddenly starts to get a whole bunch of support due to 3DS picking up, we could see Wii winning in Japan, PS3 winning in EMEAA, and 360 winning in Americas.

Probably going to be the closest year yet in terms of sales.

The power of Gran Turismo 5.

181,640 / 3,083,509

Over 3M just in EMEAA and just 180k to cross the 5M WW (4,819,588).

Why would Wii get more support because of 3DS?



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Above: still the best game of the year.

LOL

I almost spit out my Chardonnay on that one. Nintendo is ridin Solo Dolo in Japan in terms of Wii support this year. 3rd parties avoided them like STDs and Black Plague before, the 3DS won't change that.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Games should be able to be ported between the 2 systems fairly easily. It happens with some PSP/Wii games. Majority of it will be from Japan though so...

Off topic I know but WW last figures 360 at 1.1mil!! and PS3 942k is astonishing! This weeks figures are good as well. 360 still kicking ass in UK!

GT5 will fall just short of crossing 5 million this week. Still great sales though.
