The industry has grown so much over the last generation.



Do you think they will shrink in the 8th generation like many are predicting?

Total adjustments.

DS down ~1.1 Million
Wii up ~100k
PSP up ~2.7 Million
360 up ~1.6 Million
PS3 up ~2.5 Million
Vita up ~400k

PS2 up ~3 Million

Some of them maybe a little off, but Im fairly confident on the numbers as a whole.

Largest adjustments ever?

Yeah. Probably. Although it largely depends on if you view mobile gaming as part of the industry.

Dediated gaming platforms will drop off a bit as mobile gaming continues to rise. Its gonna affect handhelds more than people realise... Hell, it already is affecting handhelds.

Easily, though its also the longest we have had to wait for adjustments too so I guess they go hand in hand.

It is weird how when it is the large adjustments they are to sony consoles. ioi must have been serious about how bad their tracking is in rest of world.

And that goes hand in hand with Sony numbers being undertracked by so much.

Sony platforms tend to do better in those markets where there is no official tracking. Unfortunately, theres nothing that can be done about it. No official trackers = No data. No data and the numbers tend to go off the rails over a long period of time. Just the way it is.

What matters though is that the boss fixes it when he can



                            

Glad to finally see PS2 and 3 getting adjusted which is somewhat guesswork (because of combined numbers) but what a big adjustment. From .9m to .1m and now PS3 will most likely have the lead by E3 (where I expect a price cut or at least in time for holidays along with a 360 one to match).

Nice to see Vita doing a little better than expected and it looks like PS2 will remain the king for a loooooong time.

This will be the first time MS has ever been third right or was it behind Gamecube at one point?

This will be the first. At least now, them, Sony, and Nintendo can say they've shared that spot

haha I suppose so.  Welcome to the third place club buddy!  Balmer, Reggie, and Kaz all drink together to their crumbling industry and then play some Smash Bros. on N64

To think how much crap he's gotten over the last few months, too. 

Mehh, I guess its understandable due to the sheer length of time these adjustments have taken.

People are generally ignorant to how the system works, where the data covers and how the data is compiled. We still get people thinking the numbers are fact and trying to put the site down due to it.

This should put some people to rest
