Not saying all is fine, but we're going into the 5th/6th year of this gen, I think we've got to expect declines at this point, for PS360 and toa point Wii, doing these numbers today is impressive IMO.


it is impressive that particularly the 360 and PS3 are still desirable to buyers... but for some posters to ignore the obvoiously massive decline over the last 12 months is pretty ludicrous.

 

oh.. and handhelds are dead!! 

In case you missed the point of my previous post.

Your YOY numbers are based on VGC numbers - same numbers that were wrong last quarter and the situation which looked badly then turned into not so bad after adjustments.

Superlame numbers, both for software and for hardware. I can't wait till pricecuts come in.

3DS selling only twice as much as PS2 is worrying. I wonder if Nintendo will cut the 3DS's price this autumn.

This post is directed to some people in general

how come some people frequently just go on and on about the numbers being wrong. NewsFlash, this forum is for the charts this website shows, so while obviously we shouldn't take the websites numbers as cold hard facts, they shouldn't be deemed worthless before other data even comes out that may or may not agree with vgc's numbers. If you think the numbers are so often bullcrap, then... don't go to the sales charts section of the forum, because in this section you will only be seeing vgchartz numbers, but then again if the consoles you prefer have good sales according to the data, there probably won't be any complaining about sales being inaccurate. And remember boys and girls everything is estimates except when a company announces how many of something it has shipped, regardless of who publishes the data.

Here we go... Jesus this looks bleak. This is no ordinary Summer slump, this is terrible.

YOY:

Wii: DOWN 24%
PS3: DOWN 45%
360: DOWN 83% (anniversary of slim launch in EMEAA)

DS+3DS combined: DOWN 57%
PSP: DOWN 60%

PS2: DOWN 75%

that's quite frightening, I think the market is just getting to saturated now, although that doesn't explain hte 3DS, so I'm not sure


PS3 and Xbox 360 just need a price cut and everything will be ok.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I really think the industry and particularly gamers (the type of gamer thats frequents a gaming site) is vastly underestimating the effect that Smartphones and Tablets are having (going to have) on dedicated handhelds.  The market will be decimated over the next couple of years imo.

 

No they overestimating the Smartphone and talblets effect do you think Smartphone gamers will buy a 60 dollars games and do you think console game will buy 1 dollars games? 

No they are different.

The reason PSP didn't sell much more then 70 millions is because of lack of games and the reasons why 3DS sold badly is because of the price and the lack of good game actually.

True - handheld gamers don't have anything interesting to buy right now. Whoever wanted PSP/DS mostly already has it and those platforms are slowly dying due to lack of software and 3DS is badly overpriced and lacks any system selling games.
