3DS will be the best selling handheld and PS3 will be the best selling console this year!
:D
Thumbing him down won't make it false.
Whoah DS only sold 211k lifetime? PSP only did 77k. WOW
nice to see PS3 declining slower then 360, but both remain high/show growth in their strongest markets. PS3 just may have 50% market share next yr. and if Sony plays their card right, PS3 could make it a 300-600k gap between 360 and PS3, but yr., end 2013.
Ps3 has outsold the 360 every year since 2009. Interesting. Also very weird that 360 in down almost 3 million from 2011 to 2012. IMO Halo 4 is a much better game and system seller than Gears 3. Both CODS from 11 and 12 offset each other. What else released in 2011 that was so big??
3ds numbers are just huge. Vita needs to do something fast to attract the mainstream audience.
wow
Sony can't afford another price cut. It just released the Super Slim and did a price cut last year. 360 has been price cut free since what 2009? or 2008? Like DS, PSP, and Wii before them, the HD twins sales will drop hard in the next 2 years with the announce and release of next gen hardware.
