There is a thread about the Wii already, go there. This is NPD, we talk about everything including the almost dead PS2.

Aaron Greenberg's comments on NPD.

"Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg has posted a response to the recently released December 2009 NPD sales results. He stated that the Xbox 360 had a great year in 2009 with it outselling the Playstation 3 in addition to leading third-party software sales and software attach ratio (a record 8.8). The Xbox 360 generated $4.8 billion in total consumer spending (hardware, software and accessories sales combined). Here is his full statement on his personal Twitter page:

'NPD shows great 2009 results for #Xbox360 $4.8B in consumer spend, outsold the PS3, led in 3rd party SW & record 8.8 SW attach'

According to the NPD, the Xbox 360 sold 1.31 million units for December in the Untied States. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (1.63 million copies sold), Assassin’s Creed II (783,100 copies sold) and Left 4 Dead 2 (728,500 copies sold) all managed to chart in the top ten best-selling games of the month."

Lets all relax and look a joke!

Whats wrong here and it does not have to with the places of the consoles...

Words have no way to describe this level of failure.

.......LOL I like how the Wii and 360 have NEGATIVE sales.

So we are talking between NPD and VGC a possible 300k swing in the 360 favor, yet not entertaining thoughts of adjustments.......interesting.

Not saying erase and use NPD, but thats a pretty big difference.

oops. edited, wrong figures.

What, you don't think the Wii and 360 will sell a negative amount of units in 2011?

You're crazy.

In defense Isuppli was talking about "active userbase".

Though one wonders why since it's so hard a thing to quantify.

except they aren't negative sales, but instead is active install base, where by iSupplies definition it means people who actually game on the system. So if you buy a Wii and never play it (like 90% of the internet) it means that the install base will drop when people stop playing.

The real epic failure of this graph is the 30m Wii's supposedly collecting dust around the world while NSMBWii just broke sales records with 10m in 8 weeks. So by their estimates, 10m game sales to a userbase of 35m just makes it so much more impressive.
