You know things are bad when Europe is the savior of the 360. MS obviously over shipped so they can keep their claim of winning 2011. What crazy turn around.

If Europe is the saviour than something is really wrong in the U.S market... This gen has reached its peak.

They say over 66.1m *sold* I think shipped now.

We have 1.4m on shelves, with a supposed 1.2m unallocated for now.

Possibly 1.8m on shelves and 800k undertracked everywhere else, not just Europe.

And if their shipments come out and say 66.5 or something I'll be even more baffled, they really need to start breaking down the numbers.

 Q1 shipments will finally tell the tale though, 3 whole months away ...

What???

B-b-but you said it was impossible... time changed .

If it happen then the sales history proves accurate.

if its overtracked in US by 1.2m wich is the case it means it would be here at 63M... well i dont know what to think anymore.

Nintendo 3DS Crosses 4 Million Mark
Driven by Fast-Selling Software Nintendo 3DS Sells More in Its First Nine Months Than Wii Did

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Whether they were on the go or at home, whether they played in 2D on the TV or in glasses-free 3D in their hands, gamers of all ages celebrated the holidays with Mario™ and Zelda™. Super Mario 3D Land™ and Mario Kart™ 7 for the Nintendo 3DS™ system not only became the fastest-selling titles in the history of their respective franchises when they launched, but they are now also the first Nintendo 3DS titles to sell 1 million units each in the United States. On the console side, The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword, which also broke launch records, became the 45th Wii™ title to sell more than 1 million units in the United States.

“One of the strongest software lineups in our history helped Nintendo have a great holiday season and to close 2011 with a full head of steam”
.“One of the strongest software lineups in our history helped Nintendo have a great holiday season and to close 2011 with a full head of steam,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Not only have the new Mario and Zelda titles already broken records, but with strong reviews and satisfied customers sharing their positive experiences, all three are also shaping up to be the latest long-tail titles from Nintendo. Couple that with a massive first- and third party lineup in the first part of the year and the prospects for 2012 are extremely promising.”

Nintendo sold more than 12 million total hardware units in the United States in 2011, marking the fifth year in a row that the company has accomplished that feat. This includes more than 4.5 million units of Wii, more than 4 million Nintendo 3DS systems, and more than 3.4 million units of the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. This brings the installed base for Wii and Nintendo DS to 39 million and more than 51 million, respectively.

With a strong lineup of software on the horizon, including new installments in the Mario Party™, Pokémon™ and Kid Icarus™ franchises, as well as third-party games such as Resident Evil® Revelations from Capcom and METAL GEAR SOLID® 3D Snake Eater from Konami for Nintendo 3DS, that momentum should continue into the first quarter of 2012 and beyond.

In addition to the milestones reached by new software, two evergreen Nintendo titles celebrated milestones as 2011 drew to a close. Mario Kart Wii™ passed 11 million units sold and New Super Mario Bros.™ for the Nintendo DS family crossed 10 million total units sold.

Yup, definitly not 1m on shelves that's for sure. Unless we get sold concrete data for other countries we won't know until April.

MS did extensive advertising in Europe and claimed they wanted to be #1 there this holiday. Hopefully Nintendo provides those charts so we can clarify what they've sold there.

Maths...

"3DS and the DS were the only platforms to realize a unit sales increase versus November"

He is talking about week basis avg.

Wii: < 215k per week
360: < 225k per week
DS: > 88k per week
3DS: > 200k per week

So for December...

Wii under 1,075k
PS3 under 1,125k (well... under 900k)
DS over 440k
3DS over 1,000k

@ jexy

you should know that you count unemloyement different than others. if you would count it like we do you would have more as well. it's just a different system to count in different countries (no clue read this somewhere few years ago)

and you really see it worse than it is (and btw in europe we all hate moodys etc. because they insta downgrade european countries but not the usa). yes there are some fucked countires but most aren't. the euro is a problem and could be a huge for most countries but the economy itself is very good in most european countires compared to their situation let's say 10 years ago.

it's just so stupid that moodys and the others ones all come from usa how can this be fair?

Do any of you trade stocks or anything of the sort?  Go to school for economics and finance?  You sound horribly misinformed.  You guys forget S&P said they were considering downgrading nearly every Eurozone country and bank a couple weeks back?  I know how it's all calculated, and I know the numbers.  It's more socialist there and there are more social programs to help the unemployed there than the USA has, thus the stigma of being unemployed here is much worse, because its more unusual. 

I don't see it as worse than it is.  I know exactly what my money is doing there and I read about it all day every single day.  The Eurozone countries are hurting bigtime sans Germany.  I don't care about the rest of Europe because they don't make a dent globally in the economy compared to the others. 

And where were you when S&P downgraded the USA and Moody's threatened to?  Except S&P were off in their calculations by 2 trillion.  It's fair because they don't have an allegiance towards any country.  They only care about money.

i'm not uninformed but you really say what the problem of the usa and the relation to europe is atm. it's one of the big news over half an year now how you americans see only bad in europe which is destryoing  a lot even when we relly have no problems here. the problems come with you saying "it's all doomed" and then the money isn't worth anything after that. yes s&p for example in ne of them as well which we europeans hate atm because you jonly hear "bad europe bad europe" and america was (or is) printing money like hell for the economy but hey who cares we are americans we just talk shit about the others. we print billions but we get the aaa rating lol (yeah usa lost the s&p top rating but it should be way behind finland or so)

i think you have no clue how we even think in europe to start our own s&p and moodys so we don't have to get fucked news from them every day without any reasons compared to the usa-situation.

this whole stock market shit is the problem it destroyes everyhing even when there isn't a huge problem. stock market got too much power compared to so many induytries who are not even involved in this shit.

yes i said it the euro is fucked because of spain, italy, greece and portugal but that doesn't change the fact that many europeans countries would have never dreamed of the situation they ere atm 15 years ago. like many eastern european countries for example.

and if you would count unemployement like we do you would have more than many european countries. man in germany you are even unemployed with a job if its only a small one.

for example i think that you think it has to be bad atm in france and i really think it's much easier to get a decent job and a decent life in france than in usa.

 

have to sleep n now^^
