I was wondering, some time ago, "What console shall Santa choose?".
Well, Santa's come and gone, and it's time to see what has happened to the console-wars during this period.
Here are the long-awaited (by some) results of the console-wars in the period of the Christmas Holidays (well, actually, Dec 2 - Dec 30):
Console | Wii | PS3 | X360 | PS2 |
Total | 3,869,926 | 2,081,432 | 1,894,335 | 1,958,444 |
America | 1,505,926 | 728,434 | 1,169,933 | 904,540 |
Japan | 885,678 | 211,931 | 32,743 | 77,251 |
Total Others | 1,478,322 | 1,141,067 | 691,659 | 976,653 |
UK | 412,114 | 206,017 | 274,454 | 144,126 |
France | 387,149 | 148,265 | 73,981 | 99,997 |
Germany | 224,068 | 169,023 | 41,672 | 134,139 |
Spain | 88,394 | 170,757 | 19,309 | 134,380 |
Italy | 58,396 | 119,413 | 31,932 | 146,761 |
Scandinavia | 90,556 | 57,117 | 47,427 | 66,438 |
Other Europe | 112,171 | 119,623 | 45,258 | 91,157 |
Australia | 74,171 | 45,818 | 55,158 | 38,768 |
Other | 31,303 | 105,034 | 102,468 | 120,887 |
Very interesting, what's noticeable (except the fact that the Wii is thrashing everyone else) is that PS3 has overall defeated the Xbox360 in total sales, overcoming the gap caused by the American buyers (the Xbox sold 1.6 times more consoles than the PS3) with bigger sales in Japan (PS3 : X360 = 6:1) and Europe (PS3 : X360 = 1.6:1).
We can notice that the PS2 is still holding on, still selling quite a few consoles, even more than the X360, after last Christmas when it was the nr.1 best-selling console (yes, better than the wii).
