X1 has finally passed Wii U in the US....for now lol

"USA Hardware by Platform
XOne 42,659 (-2%) 2,314,683
PS4 34,221 (-13%) 2,597,760
3DS 32,757 (-4%) 12,085,490

PSP 876 (-13%) "

So Sony sold 50798 units
Nintendo sold 49345 units
Microsoft sold 53860 units

It's amazing how close those numbers are. It seems there are no real winners, but rather too many competitors and too frequently released consoles, so no one's winning.

The Vita is getting dangerously close to the 3DS in Japan. The 3DS will be doomed if DQXI doesn't come out as soon as possible.

The gaming industry is branching out and segregating, leading to the console market suffering a contraction. Consoles are static products in what has become a highly revisionist consumer elecronics market.

Saying that "the industry is collapsing" is dead wrong though, it is set to have doubled in gross turnover over the course of one decade (2005-2015) and is very much alive; it has simply changed. There is still a sizeable market for more traditional home consoles if done right, but Nintendo isn't really tapping into it and so you go into sales threads and proclaim the death of the whole industry, that way everyone is screwed and that makes you feel better. You can deny it all you like, but anyone with an incling as to what you've been saying and predicting in here know this for a fact, one doesn't have to look further than the UNITY thread for proof, you were part of the "Just you wait and see!" crew and now you've suddenly started diving headlong into all-encompassing doom for everyone instead, it's a remarkable change of heart and one that warrants suspicion. You're saying this to feel better; period.

You've at least come to some important realizations since the UNITY thread was hot, but you still have a long way to go if you keep on insisting that going from 35.000.000.000$ to about 70.000.000.000$ in ten years is considered a "collapse". Like someone else mentioned; the Wii U is not representative of the gaming industry as whole, not even close.

2nd week of UK price cut sees X1 still climbing, and ahead of PS4, that's an impressive achievement for just GBP30 price cut. Expect a big lift for TF. 30K at least?

In other news, high demand for PS4 in New Zealand seems to have gone. All retailers have hardware in stock both online and in store, and it seems decent shipments are arriving every month. So it's a level playing field here as far as supply goes.

I expected a bigger dip for Xb one pre-TF bundle, so I'm skeptical about the Xb one number. Especially since the previous week was an 18% lift based on release of 2 games. It should have dropped back to about the 22 Feb number (36K)
