I'm not sure if NGP will release this year.

I just gave figures on the two national markets we get regular, multiple updates for.  No PlayStation 3rd Place bias at all. :)

1. Wii

2. X360

3. PS3

4. 3DS

6. NDS

7. NGP

Here's. Price cut for any console don't mean will be fall/winter, can be spring/summer.

Next time try to think on a lot of possibilities instead of being defensive.

I did. And all those possibilities put the Wii that far down.

Don't need to cry about it.

Do you really think the 3DS will fit in the small gap between PS3 and 360?

DS sold 11 million on its first full year on the market, I think 3DS will do about 10 million or so, which should be below both the PS3 and 360.

Also the gap between PSP and NGP will likley be small. I can't see PSP selling more then 7 million units this year.

The reason I think Wii will come in first is because I feel a Wii price cut will boost Wii sales the most. I've noticed that if you align PS2 and Wii sales, Wii generally sells 2-3 million more then PS3 on a given year. PS2 saw a jump in sales in 2005 to 18 million, I think Wii should be able to just outdo that.

Also I think 360 will outsell PS3 because so far they have been selling the exact same amount, but in the holiday season, Kinect hype will make 360 super popular in Americas and just like in 2010, 360 should see a strong lead for the most important quarter). Also 360 has been holding off PS3 without much exclusive software. In the holidays 360 has a very strong lineup (Gears, Forza, Halo Rumor, 360 preffered CoD, Mass Effect, and about 10 Kinect exclusives).

Hey, I'm bored so I'm going to do something stupid. I'm going to rank all the votes by position (1st - 7 points, 7th - 1 point), and make a tally. See what the general concensus is. Statistical ties will award a split between points. Also if someone doesn't vote all 7 games, I won't count their vote, as it will off balance everything.

what's your definition of gen? Some period of years? Product? Also, though you entertain the idea of Other global sales increasing, do you have a link showing how sales increasing elsewhere isn't marginalizing Japan home console sales?

I've known that Japan is moving toward portables for a while now, and I'm *pretty* sure they are buying fewer home consoles, but I guess my real question is, "what conclusions are you making from this data". You haven't really said anything specific although you did quote and bold an idea, your comments at the bottom don't seem to fully reflect the bolded statement.

What will be interesting, and interesting in what way, and why would it be so interesting when it's a trend that's been happening for years now? 

What is so interesting about some implied dissolution of Japanese home console genres and/or software?
