PS3 is the best selling console outside of the Holiday seasons, and I expect it to continue in 2012.

Wii is going to get destroyed by the HD twins even before the Wii U is officially announced

Let´s wait for some software charts


This makes sense - outside of holidays you typically buy consoles for yourself :D

You're talking about prices at amazon? These are not catalo-prices, these are discounts.

http://emea.microsoftstore.com/DE/de-DE/Microsoft/Xbox-360-S-Premium-250-GB

Official emea-price is still 249,99 €. Nothing changed.

You're right. I misunderstood the term catalog price. It's list price or Listenpreis in german.

YOY

360 UP 90k (UP 20%)
PS3 UP 61k (UP 11%)
wii DOWN 211k (DOWN 34%)

360 continues its amazing run... PS3 pretty good too, Wii dismal.


amazing run? 

The only console having amazing run is the one that has outsold it the last 3 years while not having a cheaper $199 version. The PS3 has come a long way to the top. 

What is wrong with you, cheating by using facts & common sense as your argument? Of course PS3 won 2011, and we all know it. But don't try to start a thread about it, it will get locked. MS's 2011 prediction did not come to pass, despite their $500 Million USD Kinect marketing onslaught. Which leads to the next point: You can bet your behind that Sony did not spend that much on marketing Move/PS3 last year. And still outsold 360.

Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

The 2011 Reach (1,631,899) x GT5 Battle = GT5 won by 179,462

More 1.5 million in 2012 (~30k per week)???  I believe with the new "Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition" to launch this month.

Nooo 360 beaten by PS3. Well since the holidays are over.........and since 360 has been selling on 2008 prices this whole time (!).......they will cut the price in 2012. Sooner the better.

But seeing 3DS vs Vita sales puts a smile on my face

Actually Reach beat it by a rather massive amount  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=136040&page=1# 

But not including bundles your right, GT5 did win. (although if GT5 would have had a bundle you would have counted those sales)

Cheapest 360 in Holiday 2008 was $299 (Price cut from $349 20GB). Nowadays you can get one for $200. That isn't 2008 price.

THANK YOU!! Finally.

good lord, we can all pretend Microsoft hasn't actually cut the price "officially" but we all know they keep shuffleing their sku's around, coming out with the slim, adding larger hard drives, bundling Kinect, games, and all of that now is the same price, (or less depending on the bundle) than the 360 was in 08.

. but yeah no pricecut since 2008..

seriously,it's not "pretend",look at PS3's price from 2008 to 2011,you should know why they said 360 just no price cut

PS3's sku isn't still 60 or 80 GB and looks large right?

PS3 HD sizes are growing, but everything else keeps beeing downgraded: less usb ports, matte case, no leds, smaller fans ....

X360 slim had more value for the same price: build wifi, more usb-ports, Kinect power port ... And in europe X360 had a small price cut last year: the glossy 250GB SKU was replaced by the cheaper matte 250GB SKU.

ms reduced the number of leds, downgraded the quality of the dvd drive, cheaper plastic, one larger fan instead of 2 smaller ones.

Sony improved reliability, used less power, made it smaller. If you consider more usbs and ports more of an advantage than the inherent "running better", then I will respect your thoughts on it, but you must surely consider that running better and using less power, and being 100$ cheaper is an improvement.

Sure MS keeps adding things, but they don't actually lower the price. They just replace the components with newer smaller ones and keep the price the same.

Well, except the disc drive. The new one is pretty shit.

Point being, Ms going smaller saves them a LOT of money. So what do they do? They give you some components that probably cost them 5$ total, where they are saving maybe 20% of their previous costs. This is a good argument how?
