And will continue to have the best games in 2011 I hope!
Wii price cut boosted sales a good bit. Nothing too impressive, but better.
PS3 wins, but it isn't like it's lighting up the charts at all.

Well, at least the graphic makes the Wii look not so bad 
The whole market is down, that's not suprising.
What is suprising is dispite having almost no games the Wii is still not that far behind.
This generation is seriously throwing all predicitions and norms out of the window. ;p

Although there are exceptions to fanboyism that are like a bright light in the obscurity: PC gaming is actually the biggest, but the most undertracked, nevertheless we PC gamers don't scream! Actually we got no time to do it, we must update drivers, fix bugs, get around incompatibilities and Windows quirks, etc to make our games eventually run. |
Speak about yourself ;) I always like to point out how rediculusly undertracked PC games on VGC are ;)

Wait until the Holidays. We'll see if the PS3 is really back or not. They have yet to win a holday since the PS3 launched.

Overall PC gaming is still last compared to console & handheld gaming. Even if it was tracked correctly it still wouldn't make as much as console games do overall. Console game sales have over $100 billion yearly. Now the Witcher 2 is one of the most popular PC games ever and yet compare it's worldwide sales to a new IP like L.A. Noire and it doesn't even come close. Even if you included Steam sale and every online sales it wouldn't come close to what L.A. Noire sold in it's first week. and both of these games aren't even in the popular genre. What's the next HOT PC game coming out. Let's see how the sales do for that game. Only PC games that seen to sell what are Blizzard games and EA's Sims games. Oh yeah and Valve's FPS.

If you track PC during a whole generation, it's always in the order of magnitude of the gen's winner, and it often beats it too. It doesn't beat all the home consoles of a given gen put together, though, this is true, because of the at least 300M PC gamers, only 1/3 play games with an intensity comparable to console gamers, even caual ones, and not mostly small, mostly free, games that are more casual than the most casual console ones. So yes, maybe PC gaming isn't as big as the whole console gaming, but it's in the same order of magnitude of the single biggest console platforms, and when the gen's winner doesn't exceed 100M by very much, PC becomes the first platform, taken individually.
And right here is the reason why I keep saying price drops don't mean that much. What's the point of a price drop if people have no new incentive to buy the console? Wii finally gets its price drop everyone says it needs, and PS3 STILL keeps pace.
