This is bound to happen when you combine multiplatform titles together. The lists used to be varied and had way more Nintendo titles until they clustered titles together.
It was much better the old way, but thems the breaks.

Still one of their best ever months, isn't exactly a dire number.

I don't believe these NPD numbers. 360 had to have sold over 2million.
Something is wrong.
So where did they ship all those 360s to?
Wii sports 3 and wii fit 3 would have been better development money spent for nintendo then zelda skyward sword

Seems to be that the whole games industry has plummeted this year/december. Only the 3DS seems to be the newcomer that can compensate the losses a bit.

360 is doomed. Vita will reign.

2012 Xbox Next cult strikes back
IBM and Global Foundries prepared the CPU production line 2 days ago:

That would be it.
But I wonder if the guy was just looking at one of multiple 360 SKUs.

Xbox is low. Was not expecting that (all things relative of course).
Suddenly less optimistic about its prospects for next year.

For one week, then tank completely.
Oh no. It's a great number and I'm not contesting that. It's just that they usually have their PR up nice and early when they've had a really good month.

Yeah, I have seen stacks of them everywhere. MS really channel stuffed this year.

Yeah, the others will sell less and it's only MS that must prep new console? Weird how whats good for the goose not good for the gander?
Well, expected AND deserved.

21% drop between last December and this one, but only 8% between 2010 as a whole and 2011. Looking at those numbers it seems most of that difference is because of the lower december.

Is MS sold only that much. How did sony sell?
microsoft's in the best position right now. if they lose momentum, they'll still have the most going into the next generation, especially if they do it early with the right software.
if they hold off until late 2013, they probably launch with sony.

Easily up YOY. I believe last Dec they were under a 1mil.
PS3 is the special kid.

Glad to see MK7 and Land up there. It's a sign that Nintendo franchises are loved by video gamers and by themselves are true system sellers.

No, it's the same.
3.4 million 360's sold in 2 months in the US is still exceptional.
Good grief.
yea I can't wait to hear the spin on that

Plucky.
More of a comment against the 2014 talk.
I've always thought we are way overdue for new systems. I want Sony to launch in 2012 as well.

This is what happens when innovation stops. 2011 was the most boring year for gaming I can remember. Everything was pretty much sequels, more of the same or HD remakes. Hopefully the Wii U can freshen up the industry again and clear out the cobwebs, seeing as it doesn't look like we'll be getting a new Xbox or Playstation anytime soon.
I doubt PS3 breaks a mill.
