PS3 overtracked by 300k then?

Also guys, we don't know that the 360 is overtracked. They said "over 1.4m", so for all we know it could be undertracked.

BEAST!

Oh so THAT IS what they meant. The way Aaron Greenberg worded in on twtter was just very confusing.

He did the same think last month... just to create caos lol.

For all we know they could have rounded up. :D

Yeap... I just mean it can use the 1.4m for get how much 360 is overtracked.



Is there any chance that the WiiU be the 2nd place console? I'm hoping so.

I know the focus this month will be on X360 and the WIi U launch, but 700k (and perhaps under if Wii U or Wii somehow did it), is a very bad figure for the US market for PS3 for a five-week December (140,000 / week or less). It's much more akin to a solid November than anything else, but December is typically much larger than November.

The 1.4m X360 figure also means barely topped 5m in 2012, and should be down to 3-3.5m in 2013. 

Will be interesting to see what Wii & Wii U combined did in December, with the Wii U price, Nintendo likely had far more revenue on HW this Dec than last December even if Wii + Wii U came in under 1m (and my guess is they topped 1m combined, and Wii did 1.06m in Dec 2012).

very impressive 360 performance to outdistance the competition that much in the US - MS seems to be in a really comfortable spot for next gen in NA



Pretty sad for the USA
No one should take the USA Numbers serious anymore - Getting carried by CoD and Halo this late in the Gen after like 10 times the same game already got released.

Well guess Europe is once superior again and shows how good we support GAMING(THE REAL GAMING)
PS3 Nr1 Worldwide - Face it.

As long as kids are hungry for CoD then yes...Otherwise no.There would be no carthorse available for their most important market.

There is a chance that the Wii outsold Wii U .

Absolutely - PS2 destroyed PS3 at retail in late 2006.
