Very confusing. I can understand PSP and PS2 top the list as both have serious piracy problem and massive library (PS2). But PS3 beat both Wii and X360 even DS with higher price tag and no piracy ??? I live in Southeast Asia. It is common to see teenagers with PSP and PS2. PS3 is rare compared to Wii and X360 which quite popular. But the chart tell different stories.

Ps3 didn't beat wii or DS? Ps3 does well because of the total value it can bring. Places were piracy don't hold a factor.

How exactly do they have control? They were still behind the PS3 (which actually surprises me with the great holiday season they have had), even with the Slim and the Kinect. And we still have financial reports to come out, which may show PS3 is even more ahead than it is now. I mean before last quarter's report came out, people thought the PS3 was getting crushed by the 360 Slim and Move had little to no effect on sales. That turned out to be wrong. Now, I will admit MS should have better January sales with the recent launch of Kinect, but I still don't see them having control of the HD market.
Wii, in a down year, easily beat 360 in its peak year. People like to talk about growth, but sustaining sales and profit is equally important. I think Nintendo should hang on to this generation for as long as it can-- 2 more years would be great. I think Nintendo has enough momentum to be the home console leader for at least 1 more year. The PS2 also went through a down year before it re-peaked after a price-cut in 2005. Wii 2011, with a price-cut and a strong enough library, may be able to top 2010 numbers. Hopefully Nintendo has negociated out a cheaper way to manufacture the Wii so that it can still maintain a similar profit-margin even with a price-cut.
Most anticipated games of 2011:
Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith
Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D
