This is going to be a horrible year again for video game hardware in the US.

I think it's possible only 14-17m systems will sell in the US this year (down from 35m in 2008-2009 - lowest year since at least 2001).

Is it really difficult to imagine -

X360 - 3.5m

3DS - 3.5m

PS3 - 2.5m

Wii U - 2m

Vita - 1.5m

Wii - 1.0m

PS4 - 1.0m

X720 - 1.0m

DS - 0.5m

112K for Ni No kuni is wonderful. Reaching 200K plus is imminent. YAY!
Now what I want to know is if the Wizard edition is included in there??

I don't man. There are so many variables that we just don't know as of yet. Nintendo is the hardest to predict as we know next to nothing to what their schedule is going to look like. Furthermore, is Nintendo going to be the cheapest option once the new systems roll in? Will Nintendo try to counter the releases of Xbox and PS4 by having Zelda release in October, then Mario Kart in November, and 3D Mario in December? It's hard because I'm seeing the whole 3DS scenario repeating itself for the Wii U except that instead of having a price cut, it's going to be a bundle at 349.99$ with Mario Kart  + NintendoLand.

I believe it is. Wouldn't matter too much though, it'd be less than 1k increase.

I think it's 10K at best because if it is only 1k, My local stores won't be able to get one if that the case and Ni No Kuni selling out is a testament of that.  

Anyhow, great numbers for PS3.

OKish number for 3DS.

DMC bomba? I really hope Capcom won't make this an indicator for not making another DMC.

100k < 3DS < 150k and more closer to 150k
50K < DS < 100K and more closer to 50k
PSP ~ 10k

Nice, thanks for the update. This should mean PS3 is almost exactly 200k though and Wii almost exactly 100k, since WiiU supposedly sold 57k (100+200+57 = 357k. 56% of the total)

I think that's an impossibility.  Creamsugar says they are both over 200K and 100K.  Even just a few thousand over that would throw off MS 44% comment.  Let's say PS3 sold 205K and the Wii sold 105K, which would put it at PS3+Wii+Wii U = 367K.  That would make MS's 281K 43%, not 44%.  I also see it as redundant to specify current gen consoles, when they could have simply just said all home consoles.  And even if they included the Wii U, they would have stated so, as it would make their 44% even more impressive.  MS is also incredibly less likely to take a dig at the Wii U in a press release about NPD.  This is where they always push their product, not degrade others'.  That will be left for the exec interviews and NeXbox ads.

I think we are looking at ~122K for the Wii and ~224K for the PS3.
