YoY change

Wii down 26%
PS3 down 12%
360 up 32%

So let me get this straight: people are celebrating the PS3 selling more worldwide this week than the 360, but the 360 is the only console that is trending up so far in 2011?

Yeah, these next few months are going to be annoying here with cherry picking, denials and making minor successes major celebration. Oy vey ...

Anyway, I'm still waiting for that supposed Kinect drop off to sub 100k weekly numbers. If it trends like this post holiday week all year (with NO holiday boost), it'll sell almost 18 million in 2011 alone. That means around 25 million lifetime by the end of 2011. That's just nuts.

Looks like the 360 drop is mostly legit...not too many shortages.

I don't think that the 360 will do too well from here on out (until Christmas) but I will save my final judgement for a couple more weeks of sales.

Been a bit tardy posting the top 10 recently. Will definitely get this out there quickly next week though. :D

Donkey Kong Land is going down next week. And should be well on it's way to taking down Donkey Kong 64 by Q3-Q4.

This game deserves it. It's the best 2D platformer I've played in a long time - including NSMBWii.

Analysis is one thing. Celebrating and demeaning is another. I only analyzed the data in the post I commented on. Based on that post, the 360 is the only console that is trending up this year. Are there others not including handhelds?
