I believe you guys could figure out what is '?' stand for.

So...

PSP < 50k < Vita < DS < Wii < 100k < 3DS < 150k < PS3 < 200k < 360

 

Sounds about right. My guesses:

 

  • 360: 236k
  • PS3: 170k
  • 3DS: 140k
  • Wii: 90k
  • DS: 80k
  • PSV: 75k
  • PSP: 25k

 

Looks Like Ps360 will dominate gaming from now on... Wii fad is over, Wii U will be in trouble.

Ps720 to dominate next gen.

I do want to be positive so: I'm glad the Vita is doing better then the PSPGo

Thats the problem with the USA and why you shouldn't take those numbers seriously.
In Europe Fifa and Battlefield are destroying Call of Duty...And even CoD is selling better on the PS3 in Europe.
Its just insane how much the USA is pushing the 360,Call of Duty and Halo....and Kinect.
Its hardcore how much they dont care for quality and rather play the stuff that is cool at school.

360 relatively good (market share), but in absolute terms not very good.

PS3 and Wii poor.

All overtracked, PS3 and especially Wii quite heavily in % terms.

Adjustments will be incoming for PS3 and possibly Wii too following this and the Sony shipment numbers.

Next gen required...

Errr the 360 is overtracked more than the ps3 this month in terms of raw numbers.

He said they were all overtracked and that the Wii particularly so, no mention of the 360 being overtracked more or less than the PS3.

He only mentioned adjustments for PS3 and Wii because it is on regards to the recent Sony shipping numbers.  I think you've jumped the gun in your eagerness to bash him and should read his post again. 

The 360 probably will need adjusting too but the issue is masked in the overall numbers by the poor tracking of sales in the EU for the 360.  I think the issue with the 360 is we overtrack it in the US and undertrack in the EU consistantly, but thats just my opinion.

Don't care for quality? Is this post a joke? If I had to choose between my 360 and my Ps3, I 'd dump my ps3 in a second. 

How does FIFA relate to choosing one fps over a different fps?

But it's the same old story, certain posters playing up Sony overtracking and downplaying Microsoft overtracking. Here we have yet another month where the 360 is overtracked more than the ps3, yet he like many others, try to spin it in the best possible light by cherry picking the data to find something that makes the 360 seem better whilst ignoring the most important fact which is the 360 is more overtracked then the ps3 yet again.
