USA has become XBox Land.

Sony is in trouble if MS can make gains in Europe next gen.

MS is in trouble if Sony can make gains in the US next gen

Now this is actually true since almost 50% of Xbox 360 sales are done in the US.
PS3 actually has a healthy install base in all regions. They don't rely purely on 1.

Nope, actually since Xbox is near negligible in Japan and you said that almost 50% of 360 sales are in USA. This means that Europe contributes >40% of the 360 sales.

So.. Xbox 360 ALSO has a healthy install base in Europe just not as big as PS3.

I guess so

Wow, halo 4 might be undertracked. :0

Vgchartz had it behind Madden (all versions) and Ass Creed (all versions), but NPD has it ahead of both of these.

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

#NPD: The 360 version of CoD was the top selling SKU this Dec, and has been the top selling SKU on an annual basis for 4th year in a row.

this pretty much confirms the wii u is trouble, it probably sold around 500k and also being dead in europe, this system will not sell over 35 million, add to the fact that if wii stock was avalible it would have sold 1.8 million unlike wii u where stocks are plenty.

Wii U Hardware Sales Surpass Wii Sales by More Than $30 Million through First Six Weeks

With more than 460,000 units sold in December, Wii U has now sold nearly 890,000 units in the United States after only 41 days on the market, according to the NPD Group. To date, Wii U hardware sales have generated more than $300 million in the U.S. alone; Wii hardware had generated just more than $270 million at the same point in its lifecycle.

“While the Wii launch established new benchmarks in the United States, Wii U has surpassed its predecessor in perhaps the most important category: revenue generation,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The demand for the Deluxe SKU, which was essentially sold out at retail this holiday, and the strong attach rate of New Super Mario Bros. U, shows that we have the value and the games to drive momentum in 2013. We look forward to offering great new experiences and bringing smiles to millions of new faces throughout the year.”

Nintendo sold more than 2.65 million hardware units in the United States in the month of December. 2012 marked the 11th consecutive year that Nintendo has sold at least 8 million hardware units in the U.S. Other Nintendo sales milestones achieved in December 2012 and beyond that time frame, include:
