Microsoft failed. They cut the price and earned $50 less of everyone of those 1.4 million 360s they sold in December. That's about US$70 million they didn't make. Considering the differences in prices between 360's SKU's ($200, $300, $350) and PS3's SKUs ($400, $500) a simple calculation says Microsoft didn't make more than US$80 million over the PS3 earnings even when outselling it 2:1. Major LOL. Note: We're talking about both companies earned from 300-400 million dollars in hardwares sales alone. Sure, Microsoft wins a little extra market share and saves some face, and also sold some good extra software this holiday season, but can they keep it up now that the shopping season is over...and a PS3 price cut is soon to come, 360 days of joy will end just as abruptly as they started after that price cut!

So...

DS - 3.04 million
Wii - 2.15 Million
360 - 1.44 million
PSP - 1.02 million
PS3 - 726k (down a lil from last year)
PS2 - 410k (down a lot from last year)

 

 PS3 was down 71k, that is not a "lil bit" that is over 10%, quite nasty when you think it had LBP,Resistance 2 etc..

Umm, it is less than 10%.  I wouldn't call that "nasty", especially when it had a price drop last year.

2.15 million ain't bad guys just surprising. Can't believe people are saying that's bad haha.

But man it's a lot lower than we all expected. Ninty must have really ran short and a lot more than we ever thought. It's just so surprising they were unable to ship more in 5 weeks of December than 4 weeks of November.

But man everyone was off on Wii. Everywone was at about 3 million on predictions so it's quite interesting. I'll wait for Nintendo shipments on this, though, because NPD isn't the final word.


I agree. 2.15 Million is still very good.

PS3 + X360 > Wii. It's mission accomplished for the month of December.
