Surprised to see Europe HW sales so much more than Americas.

It's like they have a holiday after the Holidays.

3ds is selling so good hopefully 360 can get its game back i mean just look how close it is to wii


It won't get its game back unless there's a big game release. So once Kinect Star Wars, Halo 4 and COD Black Ops 2 release.
Xbox 360 is sold by its sheer amount of marketing and promotions. Its both a blessing and a curse.

Or a pricecut. Don't forget the pricecut.

Why is the Xbox 360 sales so low? Did they sell out during the holidays and the Foxcon strike slow resupply?

The X360s biggest region the US tends to fall off more quickly in the new year than Europe and Japan. In addition this is even one of the biggest weeks of the year in it´s weakest region Japan, so X360 sales only look low compared to the others

Great to see that skyrim is still outselling battlefield and assassins creed. Also, cant believe battlefield is outselling mw3 in the uk!



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Some big Orthodox Churches, including the Russian one, still celebrate Xmas on 7th January, some other ancient Christian Churches like the Armenian one celebrate it with the Epiphany, on 6th January, and the Epiphany itself is an important holiday, often involving gift giving, particularly to children, for Catholic, Orthodox and other Churches.

Yeah, in Spain kids get gifts both on the 25th of December and the 6th of January.

Did the adjustments come from the US only due to NPD or was it from all regions?
