congrats to the wii,ps3 and ds. i think the reason the ds had a good increase over last year is simple, the price of the system was reduced by $30.

I guess the ultimate one million in a week is still firmly Nintendo territory this gen

Still its a good number for Sony posting a neat 0.3 mil gain in one week.

Trouble is to maintain this will be nigh on impossible and to gain the two million plus that many had hoped on MS by new years day now seems highly unlikely

That said MS will have to respond as momentum is firmly with the Sony machine in the HD realm.

At the current rate of catch up the PS3 and Xbox will tie in late 2012

The FFXIII release week may show otherwise.


PS3 is Japan only

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Not really, this weeks sales were 762K, that is well away from 1 million, its unlikely that FF13 can close the gap

Go see my other thread for reasons why it will.

Big week sales in NA are bigger than BF sales. Others will continue to increase, and so will Japan(Along with whatever boost FF13 will give).

1 Million is looking very likely after these sales.

Even if the big week is bigger, it would have to be about 32% larger to get to a million, and that's just not likely, typical rise is 20-30%

I think it's going to be touch and go but far from unlikely.  If you look at Black Friday sales as a percentage of peak holiday sales over the last couple of years it looks like the PS3 should be pushing around a million in it's peak week. 

I think it really depends on how much of an effect the NA bundles had this week and how significant an impact FFXIII has on hardware sales.
