PS3 leads the 360 with about 169k :D

I think the Xbox 360 is finally going to show its age this year but we'll need a few more weeks of sales this year to really prove it.

They can price cut yet u know...

YOY comparison post adjustments.

3DS: Up 519k (obviously. Actual comparisons start in 7 weeks)
PS3: Down 15k (-3%. not bad)
Wii: Down 145k (-34%. Probably last year with notable sales)
360: Down 29k (-10%. Decent but there were shortages last year)
DS: Down 317k (-74%. Truly on its way out)
PSP: Down 54k (-23%. Probably on its way out as well)



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Adjustments are well and good, but Wii above 360 this week? Don't think so

Why not? This is one of the few weeks of the year where Japan has a large (disproportionate) influence on the global number, even without any software releases. So if there was one week in 2012 where Wii>360 it would be this week.

MW3 had been adjusted up to 12.96 million and 10.28 million on the Xbox and PS3

I think it's best not to look into something as small as a few hundred thousand.

Yes, I just realized the difference is little more than 2% on the lifetime total...

I want to see PS4 and nextbox at E3 2012. Sony probably won't announce PS4 so soon though :(. Maybe at Gamescom


Id also like to see next gen consoles at E3, however i dont think it will be wise if they do. Ps3 is looking to have another good year, it will probably be down YOY by about a mil or 2 mil. But i mean thats okay considering how far we are into the gen. I feel as though an announcement at E3 will badly affect sales of current gen consoles, given that they remain pretty expensive.

Although my inner nerd/tech head is itching for some new consoles! :)

i wonder if wii will outsell 360 through out the year except when halo 4 or kinect star wars is released or a price cut. psp will probly outsell ds throught out the year until vita catches on
