I didn't get any new consoles this holiday season, so I have to admit I didn't do too much guessing about which ones sold best. Of course, why waste my time on such things when I could merely turn to Wedbush Morgan expert Michael Pachter and hear his thoughts on the matter (which are most likely right, considering he's an industry analyst and all).
Pachter recently spoke to videogaming247, saying:
"I haven't done the work for NPD yet, but my guess is that 360 sales were flat or up a little, PS3 sales down a little, and Wii sales up more than 100%."
He also mentioned that it would add up to about 1.2 to 1.3 million 360s, 3 million Wiis, and PS3 lagging behind at around 700,000 units. In the meantime, Microsoft is gloating over when they call their best holiday ever, saying that 2008 showed them growing faster than any of their competitors. I guess they are strategically ignoring the little white waggle box?

Well, not really. I mean he's pretty lame because he's letting his critics get under his skin, acknowledging them everytime he's on the Bonus Round. :-\
