INCREDIBLE!!! :
Year over Year worldwide:

Xbox 360 up 93%

PS3 down 25%

And the Xbox360 is the old system... PS3 is in trouble, so young... and already declining.

Looks like Wii is back in stock in America. Anyone who honestly thought that the system was going to drop to 100k weekly levels in 2009 was kidding themselves.

360 is really impressive. I'm glad I made a high prediction for the end of this year (have to add that to the signature... we're getting pretty far into 2009 now!) 360 sales are definitely cutting into PS3 sales; both consoles are so similar, only one of the two can really be successful in each market, and clearly America is Microsoft's stronghold.

End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)

Great for Wii, DS and X360. Not good for PSP and PS3.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
