NPD: North America sales numbers |
Listed in: Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Christmas, North America, NPD, Sony

As we enter 2007, let's take another look back at last month, and catch up on an updated console report by NPD. According to the said firm, the Xbox 360 won out in last year's Christmas rush, with the Wii coming in a close second.
From November to December 25, the Xbox 360 recorded a total of two million units sold all over North America. With regards to the Wii, NPD reports that Nintendo sold roughly 1.8 million units since its November 19 launch, only 200,000 less than the Xbox 360's sales numbers.
Sony's PS3 came in at a 750,000 for the same time slot. Don't consider this a final count, though. This report is just a preliminary statement from the NPD group - the complete figures are expected to be announced later this month. Until then, we advice the fans to stay frosty, and resume their gaming.

I'm guessing you're a twelve year old MS fanboy who can't afford a PS3.

Sony's achieved the goal of 1 million world wide and now they're planning on 3 million by Q2.
Remember this is launch and the 360 is a year old. The ps3 is still hard to manufacture and sony is just pulling them outta their asses to ship to the stores. So before you count a 2 generation batch of consoles against a console a month old. Use some logic/

"360 sold 3times as many systems as the ps3 during christmas rush." were you surprised? were you waiting so bad to post that?
it depends on where you live.... i dont see any ps3 in the bay area (Ca). 1 or 2 360s on the shelves....no Wiis.
"Yep demand on the 360 is still strong with no sign of letting up." - if you can remember the Sega Saturn..... im sure you can remember the PS2!! hahahaha.....still going strong. but im sure you dont wanna post that here.

Sony then cut the target back to 2 million because of production issues. And even as close as December 16 they re-issued a statement saying they would hit 2 million.

Their Q2 target has always been 6 million. That figure hasn't yet been changed. In the article above they confirm that 6 million Q2 target.
Sony had a poor launch no matter how you spin it. And now that their is reports of demand slowing down they better do something fast to pick it up again if they want to compete in 2007. I have a feeling that 2008 will be sony's year.
