NPD Hardware numbers in

Xbox 360 – 381,000 (15% y-o-y)

he information below comes straight from Wedbush Morgan…

Current generation (PS3, Wii, 360, PSP, DS) software sales were $572 million, $52 million above our estimate, while legacy software sales were $4 million, $6 million below our estimate. Wii software sales were $179 million (down 20% y-o-y), Xbox 360 sales were $170 million (up 8%), and PS3 sales were $141 million (up 24%). DS software sales were $72 million (down 13%), while PSP software sales Entertainment: Software| 3 were $10 million (down 37%).

The increases in sales for the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms have become the norm, and declines for the other consoles have also become the norm. Over the next year, we expect Wii and DS software sales to continue the negative trend, but anticipate strong sales for Nintendo's 3DS that should spur overall handheld software sales back into positive territory. We expect PS3 software sales to spike when several high profile releases launch in the coming months, and believe that overall PS3 software sales would benefit immensely from a hardware price cut, expected in June.

Under one-fifth of PS3 sales included bundles with Sony's Move controller, suggesting another modest month (we have chosen not to subscribe to peripheral data). Just under three-fifths of Xbox 360 sales included bundles with Microsoft's Kinect peripheral, as Xbox 360 Kinect console bundles again outsold PS3 Move console bundles by almost 5:1. We note that the top selling Kinect software titles easily outsold their Move counterparts

not surprising there. 360 dominates, the wii is sputtering along and the ps3........dead last. sony needs a price cut ASAP. they have to do something to spike the sales. but if they do, you know MS is going to counter. the 360 is in the best position, at least in america (i will throw that in for the cows) :P

If the Wii is sputtering along that makes the other two companies look pathetic :P Down 31% and still not far from the lead behind a console that had a massive hardware revamp in Kinect? The Wii is doing just fine :P

dayyummm 360 is kicking butt

"yeh but worlwide" lol couldn't help it you know those posts are coming Wii's actually still putting up decent numbers but massive drop off due to the massive numbers it has historicaly done.sonny2dap

I never understood the infatuation some people have with hardware sales. How does it affect you personally if x console sells more then y console? Fanboy bragging rights?:?

The problem is that the Wii and PS3 are going down because everyone that wants one has one and that they dont die like the 360's do. I really wonder how many of those 360 sales are rebuys because the warrenty is done or does not apply to their issue. 04dcarraher

lmao take a joke ;). I am just picking as peopel can pick what they want. I bought a 360...then I sold it. I personally think its a trash system, but hey I am glad people enjoy it. I did consider getting another for Halo, but being I prefer FPS games on PC I didnt care too too much.

I wonder if Nintendo really is going to release a new system this year. It would be interesting to see the 360 continue on with the Kinect and the Sony with the NGP (and PS3), while Nintendo makes a more powerful system that is at least along the same lines as Ps3 and 360. It seems as though the PS3 and 360 are not going to get successors for a bit.

Five years into this gen and all three systems are selling well. I honestly expected lower numbers with the current price points as the PS2/XB/GC were a fraction of the cost at this point. These companies have done an outstanding job at keeping the current userbase happy while catering to new users.

HD will always be around (or something better lol). That is no gimmick, it simple visual clarity that is easy on the eyes. Yeah I dont particularly like my Wii as a system (although its durable and backwards comparible which is awesome), but Zelda, mario and more begged me to buy it :P.

Japan is cancelling the lead which 360 gets from NPD every month so guess the key to this war is Europe and the rest of the world.

Let's look at last year sales in NPD and Media create:

NPD 2010

• 6,764,089 - 360
• 4,333,500 - PS3

That's a difference of 2,430,589 units.

Media Create 2010

• 1,586,122 - PS3
• 210,826 - 360

That's a difference of 1,375,296 units.

Which comes down to a 1,055,293 unit difference when you minus Media Create from NPD.

In the UK, both the PS3 and 360 sold equally the same; France outsold the 360 by 272,000 units. Don't have any other numbers, which means we're left with a final difference of783,293 units... so, the rest of word would have to have put up quite a large difference in defeating the Xbox 360 last year.

One word Kinect. The casual maket is what drives sales and right now that is centered around Kinect in the USA whether you like it or not. I have no plans to purchase Kinect but it seems like a lot of people are interested in it.

Sony beat 360 for the last 4 qtrs. and tied them for 4th qtr 2010. So it looks like the rest of the world is buying the PS3 over the 360.
