But it will finish the year down YOY in total by up to 20%. So..... 

Which has been expected since Spring and is irrelevant to what I said.

"Sales were up YoY on Black Friday, showing there is still significant demand for a PlayStation at mass-market price."

105million atleast.

One will only come with the other.

It won't be the biggest seling console in The US, UK or Japan ever.  The 3 biggest markets, which doesnt bode well for the next PS.

Since when is the UK the third biggest market? Do they really sell more than even just Germany? Or did you put it there just cause they track the sales and publish them (in English)? Still, if you're counting UK as a separate market, the rest of the EU, or at least the Eurozone should be the second biggest market in the world, so no reason to include UK as one of the 3 biggest markets.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

This generation is effectively over. DS already won, and is the top selling gaming console by far, followed by the Wii.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Its the 3rd biggest console market quite easily.

You really need to check the uk charts more, the ps3 has actually outsold the 360 plenty of times this year "in the uk", plus judging a console from it's recent sales will give you a better indication on how the brand is going.

And i think microsoft are in a worst position, all they have to do is lose america and they are done for, sony sells well in all 3 markets while microsoft needs america to keep the xbox stable.

so you believe sales will go up if the rrp was the same as the offer price during black friday?

Ok. 

Whats your prediction for next year saleswise?

No, I never said that. I said there is still significant demand.

Cant reasonably predict next Year, due to not knowing which consoles may or may not be releasing. Why dont you tell us YOUR predictions for once? Is that possible?

So recent sales then huh?

UK 2012:

PS3 593,917 

360 841,054 

 

UK Lifetime:

PS3 5,312,614 

360 8,355,376

 

 

 

 

Recent = lifetime? ok

Plus where in my statement did i say the ps3 was outselling the 360? i only said it's outsold it on certian weeks which it actually did.

lol. wtf.

and no, "recent" is 2012 where the 360 has outsold the PS3 by a whopping 46%.  The odd blip on a very few weeks this year is meaningless. 

you didnt say "certain weeks", you said "plenty of times".

Its ok to be wrong occasionally. Just accept it.

You would know all about that..

 Also, Plenty doesn't = majority

The numbers in the UK seems very competitive while the Xbox has a clear advantage. Its no blowout like in Japan.
