The 360 isnt doing as well as i thought it was.
I hate to say it though, but damn, those ninty figures are fricken impressive.
Although I do understand this is referring to PAL alone, it's probably a different picture worldwide.

The 360 had a 15 month lead over the PS3 here in the UK and yet only has 1 million more consoles sold. What more that year was a year without Wii or PS3 sales. It was a year where MS could really say they had the best console on the market by a mile.
Then when you look at the price point over the last year you will see that the 360 is like half the initial price of a 360. Maybe this is a sign that people in most parts of the world are willing to pay good money for a product that doesn't break down every two minutes/charge us subscriptions for things that are free everywhere else/etc.

Meanwhile in the East, Japan will launch an agressive pie chart attack on neighborhood countries.
Ah, World War 2... when will we ever learn?

Anyways the interesting aspect of the pdf was what Game believes are the Key 'bold' releases for this year - the games they seem to be betting on are EA sports active, pokemon platinum, infamous, sims 3, harry potter, tiger woods 2010, wii sports resort, nfs:shift, fifa10, cod:mw2 and assassin's creed 2. I'm guessing they'll be focusing a bit of their advertising pull on this.
Not only that they are wary about which console will come on top in the end as they mention - multiple platforms winning for this generation - which honestly can happen I guess if wii sales decline enough for the others to capture but I'm guessing they're just making conservative estimates.

What I think will happen is that after a price drop on the PS3, sales will increase sinificantly and it'll close the gap between itself and the 360 but because of the 360's early release, the PS3 won't be able to equalize.
I also expect Wii sales to take a bit of a dive just as this generation draws to a close.

The bigger image should be on the top of the article, I saw only the small one at first and tried to read that :P
