This eighth assessment will make possible to know if our three manufacturers achieved their goal? Yes and not, because it will still necessary to wait a few days (weeks?) to know if Xbox 360, Wii and the PS3 reached the store respectively well, four and two million sold units. However, certain indices indicate to us that Microsoft and Nintendo must have the smile, contrary to Sony.
Xbox 360, a very American console. As usual, let us start with Xbox 360. The console from Microsoft have been sold according to CNBC with more than two million between November and December 25, this only in the United States. Figure higher than Wii and PS3 (see below), which proves
the real success of Xbox on the other side of the Atlantic 360 (if this figure is confirmed), this zone occupying nearly two thirds of the market Xbox 360 in the world.

really interesting game. .
Concerning the sales of the PS3, they exceeded the million in the world. On the other hand, the two million was probably not reached, at less on last week 2006 . Certain studies speak about 700 to 750.000 PS3 in the USA, Japan entering for its part 400 to 500.000 consoles. …
