That's a lot of 360's. SayWord has a point, though, hopefully some big new exclusive games will be revealed next year to go along with all these great looking third-party games that will be coming out.
sorry but for the amount of time the Wiis been out compared to Kinect, it should be doing ALOT better not just .10 more :L
With that 1.27 million for the Wii that must be everyone. There can't be anyone left anywhere in the world who doesn't own a Wii. My dad doesn't, but he's practically a cave man he's never gonna buy one so he doesn't count.
And 1.37 million for the 360!! That's crazy. I know I'm a bit of a Microsoft hater but who's buying these things? I hardly know a single person who has one. I don't mean that I don't know anyone with a functioning 360 either. I mean I only know one other person besides me who was dumb enough to buy one. I've said it before and I'll say it again I really think ol Microsoft is cooking the books.
PS3....meh that seems like an average month for Sony. I could be wrong. How many did they ship??

Sony probably shipped 1.5 mil and would have announced that number but instead their actual sold number was released.
Considering everyone on Earth has a Wii and DS already, that's pretty damn impressive on Nintendo's part.

So doing better than last year, isn't good enough anymore? Why is the Wii held to such a high standards? Why are you comparing Kinect to the Wii? A peripheral to a console? The PS3 has been out just as long as the Wii has, so shouldn't it be doing ALOT better as well? Instead of loosing 25% of its sales from last year, with a disastrous only 530,000 units sold. At least the Wii is running neck, and neck with the 360. So Nintendo, and Microsoft are just leaving Sony in they're dust!

WoW.. the Xbox Haters really get offended when the numbers show them reality. I have both consoles and 90% of my gaming is on the 360. Face it, facts are facts, The only thing the PS3 has going for it are exclusives, and there really only a few that are worth playing. Live with everyone having voice comms also just kicks the crap out of PS3 network. Multiplatform games are always better on teh 360, excpet 2.
That being said.. My biggest game of 2011 is Infamous 2 :)

Sounds about right. Microsoft is just coming off their biggest exclusive and a redesign. The PS3 posted big numbers in the same position last year. Kinect selling well was a given just from the scope of the marketing campaign. The interesting numbers will come next quarter, though, when we see what kind of post-holiday software sales Kinect can push. Is it a fad, or will it go viral like the Wii two years ago? Will people be disappointed, or will the attachment rate keep growing?
Sony's recent strategy seems to involve releasing big exclusives in an uncrowded first quarter, which worked well for them last year, and this upcoming year looks like more of the same. Whether or not the PS3 takes back the sales rate lead between it and the Xbox will likely depend on Kinect.

Sony seems to think that the Move will sell itself while the kinect media blitz is paying off. An anetdote to illustrate this:
My partner at work (a non-gamer) said that she was interested in getting a Wii. I encouraged her to do so, saying that they had some good bundle deals on them. Her reply "yea, probably because the 'Kinecter Box' is a million times better". I confirmed that she was refering to the Kinect, then asked her why she thought that. "You can dance and stuff." To wrap it up i asked what she thought about the Move. "What's that?"
MS marketing has them by the short hairs.

Sony had the #1 selling game in the world last week, and by an absolute mile. In fact, it sold more than #2 and #3 combined. Of course, #3 was also a Sony exclusive. I get the feeling they're jolly enough to buy their own gifts.

Best case scenario for Microsoft it seems.
I feel so bad for Sony right now, I'm thinking about NOT jailbreaking my PS3 and maybe buying a PSN game or something just to support the fuckers.
Saturn and Dreamcast have had their revenge through Microsoft.

Is kinda curious that not a single kinect game made it to the top 10, being dance central the highest at the 11th position. Compared to Just Dance 2 which was among the top 5.
What will move Move?
Sony will have one or two interesting titles for Move. Core gamers may go for Move, but casual gamers have said it: Dance Central!
I am also curious to know what 2.5 kinect buyers are playing? My best bet is that Kinect got snatched up by researchers and garage enthusiast who want to play with Kinect core technology. Kinect itself has a lot of promises and just two games worth playing: dance central and your shape.

Unsurprisingly, Kinect Sports seems to be the game people are picking up for Kinect the most, at least on Amazon. I makes me wonder just how many Kinect purchasers are Wii owners who primarily played Wii Sports and dance games. Do they really need two systems to play basically the same games? Is it that much of an upgrade to them to justify such a large extra investment?
I can understand why Sony hasn't pushed Move that much yet. It's a controller, and you don't really market controllers, you market the games that you play with those controllers. I won't even consider buying one until I see how it works with the games that I want to play. However, if Sony is smart, they'll push it like hell when KillZone3 and the next SOCOM title are released. How it works with high-quality FPS games is going to make or break Move.

Umm, Sony doesnt need to advertise Move because it is a controller? Pro tip: SO IS KINECT.
Yes they do need to market the device itself if they want to succeed.

Pro tip: no one says "pro tip" anymore because it's retarded.
Kinect is marketed as an experience rather than just a controller. People aren't buying it because of Kinect Adventures, I know that much. They're buying it because it's different. Move isn't different, therefore it needs quality games in order to generate interest.
