PS3 with the same lead as last year but all 3 consoles are down so the number is much more likely to stay. Also the Kinect fad has worn off a bit so it looks like PS3 will take 2012 with the new slim and even a possible price cut coming.

I agree, last year MS managed to reduce the gap to 100k, and although the gap is the same, the overall sales are less for both the PS3 and the 360. Thus percentage-wise the gap is larger, and I don't think Halo will be enough to reduce it. If anything Wii U will hurt 360 and PS3 sales this fall, freezing the gap between the PS3 and 360 at 1-1.5 million.

Pretty amazing to think there was ever a year PSP sold 18 million before the holidays. Never knew 2010 was so big for it. Vita needs to find that killer app that can make it that successful at some point.

That must be a mistake the total sales for 2010 were 9,243,328, i think sony would be more than happy with this number though for the Vita
