I think the real winner overall here is Sony, considering the media drubbing they've received the last few months. They look like they're in pretty good shape now, don't they?

Um, no? The PSP kicks ass and is grossly underappreciated, but if the PS3 hasn't even shifted 700k and it's sitting around in stores, that's really B-A-D.

Well, who has really won are the PS2 and Nintendo DS. Because they sold A LOT and A LOT of games have veen sold on them.
The GBA sold a lot too, but the games are slowing down a lot with time.
PSP is selling strong, but where are the games ?
Wii has super-MEGA shortages. Zelda's attach is the BEST I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE FOR A NON BUNDLED GAME !!!!! But hardware's sales are disappointing.
Zelda on Gamecube sold a lot. A LOT. Where are Gamecube's numbers ? Zelda could have been an impact on Hardware's sales too, for the last time.

Compliments for the Xbox360 and Gears of War: what I expected for both.

Most months I'd agree, but there's plenty to chew on here!

Exactly.

But I suppose the story is, next-gen hardware continues to disappoint, but next-gen software really is doing great. Zelda and GoW are both doing amazing. And also wow at Guitar Heroes.

Bunkum sure bought a lot of games!

Why did he buy Marvel and Red Steel though? I guess bunkum is part of the problem.

Code: 
	Prediction	Actual	Delta
DS	1800	1600	200
PS2	1400	1400	0
GBA	1150	850.7	299.3
360	1350	1100	250
Wii	700	604.2	95.8
PSP	750	953.2	203.2

So one million PS3s shipped in 2006 and they sold 687.3k PS3s?
Click to expand...

If another thread by SonyCowboy is correct, Kaz said at CES that the 1 million would be in stores by ~today. I guess they finished producing those 1m before Dec 31st?

Damn, those DS numbers are showing as a 1800 number.

Gotta love that PSP, it sells like crazy without any software.

It looks like people are buying PSPs to use as PSX emulators.
Click to expand...

Well, I expect really more then one PSP game to break the 100k this month, otehrwise these numbers make no sense.
But if you think about it, these numbers are strange.......

Sonycowboy, are you sure that,......no, nothing.

Please don`t endanger the NPD numbers by letting people get away with posting these "nudge nudge, wink wink" lists. It`s a slippery slope

Keep in mind that Nintendo did a WW launch, they probably also shipped to other parts of the world where we dont get sales data from, like south america and other countries. NA, Japan and Europe are not the only places in the world you know.

The PS2 just won't die . . . it beat the xbox 360 AGAIN!
Click to expand...

It beat the Wii and PS3 too. I think it would have beaten the PS3 even if Sony had over a million units shipped. Sondy did say they had a million units shipped. The PS2 is cheap and has tons of software choices, it is a beast.
