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

Sony was there with the PS2.

Nice adjustments!!! The King is making a comeback!! 2more weeks baby!

PS3 may actually become king by the time this gen is over (all 3 stop selling) PS3 may pass Wii and it's more likely than ever now


yes sirrrrr!!  And I'll b in this site celebrating whn that happens too!



Those aren't totally accurate. I'm pretty sure PS passed the Xbox a while ago.



I make videos that are sometimes funny I think?

Check out my Youtube gaming channel here!

So looks like that 77m shipped we got a few months ago was actually accurate huh?



What just happened??? Are these the biggest adjustments this site has done? I remember big adjustments happening a couple years ago (2011?), but we got a pretty thorough explanation by ioi. Will we get an explanation on these adjustments?

If these adjustments are true, they destroy my prediction of the PS3 passing the 360 in Q4 of this year.

From the 6th gen to 7th gen so far:

Nintendo - 3rd place to 1st place

SONY - 1st place to 2nd place

Microsoft - 2nd place to 3rd place

yup, Microsoft soon to be third place again

Again? They were second place last gen, this is actually a worse result  

Depends on perspective.

24 million sold -> Growing to +80-90 million sold

157 million sold -> Shrinking to +80-90 million sold

Holy Crap!
That's major
When the PS3 finally passes the 360, people will be saying,"well considering the market share Sony lost, it's no big deal"
....which is true....

But considering how bad Sony screwed up the PS3 launch, it was a very nice comeback.
I hope Sony doesn't fk up the PS4 launch....


Makes me wonder what the PlayStation brand will do with a level playing field? If this is anything to go by MS and Nintendo needs to hope a pray for Sony to drop the ball on PS4 launch, otherwise it's a sure repeat of the onesided PS2 gen. Not that i actully believe that, but this comeback make me wonder.

I mean complete hate from the press, $600 price, crappy ports, almost no 3rd party exclusive, annihilation in north america, and 1 year later to the market all added up to this. Amazing, Sony might be able to get away with another $600 console.

Yes I would say the Big 3 all won this generation lol. A farcry from last gen with Sony just dominating. In terms of profit which we have no way of actually knowing. Wii made tons, 360 made huge losses then large profits, PS3 made huge losses then small profits. Looking forward who knows the PS3 might make large profits but be offset by vita and PS4 losses. 360 will probably also make small profits but be offset by Nextbox losses.

Yeah but IDC and Jack Tretton were wrong...

It sure does, just like everything in life! But we were only talking about first second and third place
