The YOY for the 360 is great, but it really is important to keep in minds this YOY is vs last years big drive on the console with the slim/Kinect.  The PS3 looked great YOY when it was in the same place after the slim launch vs the old model.  What will matter more YOY is when its "like for like" - i.e. slim 360/Kinect 2011 vs slim 360/Kinect 2010.

Personally I'm amazed that both HD consoles can show growth and generate spikes given their combined sales plus Wii sales TD.  While in some ways the overall gen has probably peaked the 360/PS3 both look like they can show some growth yet.

great HW numbers for ps360. ps3 on top again. Great starts for MK, Portal. socom not too shabby either

and KZ3! some nice legz

but on the flip side, ps3 had sold more going into 2010 than 360 because of slim price cut effect, now 360 going into 2011 coming off slim price cut kinect and its 500k behind. which makes ps3 more impressive.

that tells me up to a certain point more people will buy ps3`s than 360`s, its entirely sonys fault that they are in 3rd had they launched at 299 like im sure thier next console will it would have been enormous

PS3 is up YOY its been 2 years after slim and its still $299 not to mention its also been the top selling console weekly for 2011 JUST WOW!

KZ3 legs makes me smile.

@ Kowenicki you think reach disapointed in sales. i think its doing fine. its traking ahead of 3 by 520k units.

  Anyway i noticed 360 was 4k software units away from outsell 3ds's software in japan this week. that is terible.

PS3 and Xbox360 sales is why Microsoft and Sony won't follow Nintendo but will actually wait a few more years before going for the next gen....

Hmmm, we still have Wii overtracked.

Nintendo has shipped 41.18m Wiis to the Americas, end of March we have 41.30. So 50k Wii's on shelves across Americas ...

Also we have 116 Wii million sellers end of March, when Nintendo only shipped 103 ..

I'm sure it'll be corrected soon though.

Portal, MK, and SOCOM all did good, be interesting to see next weeks numbers what with the Portal and MK deals, and SOCOM being a mainly online game with PSN going down.

Consoles look healthy, even PSP!

Kinect Sports nearly hits 3 mill, I reckon as it's a staplehit of Kinect and likely will be for months to come, it can get to 4 maybe 5 million, with the holidays.

i dont even think it needed 299 at launch 399 could of saw similar impact

i think SONY selling more than MS WW has always been know and will continue this way unless you have the rare circumstances as you said of prices when sony was $200 more than MS

i also believe that another rare circumstance this gen besides the big price differences was that MS was the 1st out with a > 480P gaming console in 05-06, i believe that consumers saw this as a huge thing in gaming around 2004-2007 the whole new LCD tv this was big aswell and what better way to test your new tv than with a HD gaming console and for about 1- 2 yrs MSs 360 was the only way to do this.

another rare circumstance also is alot of ps2 owners werent afraid to make the switch to a MS console b/c alot of there favorite multi plat exclusives from the ps2 era made there way to the MS console early on in the gen

i dont believe next gen will have this impact the consoles will still be HD it wont be a big of a jump as ps2 to 360 was, especially on a HD tv where the ps2 isnt meant to be played on for the best graphics and there really wont be any big variables with mult plat exclusives we kind have a good idea where things are going to end up

also i dont believe sony will a launch a 299 console next gen 399 or 450 maybe
