Hardware and Software Shipment Update – Dec 2010
VGC: "Figures from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft for the last three months of 2010 and the entire year have arrived. For the final quarter of the year, Nintendo shipped 9.01m DS systems and 8.74m Wiis, bringing those bases to 144.56m and 84.64m units lifetime through December 2010. Sony shipped 6.3m PS3s, 3.6m PSPs, and 2.1m PS2s for the quarter, bringing the PS2 base to 149.7m lifetime, the PSP base to 67.8m lifetime, and the PS3 base to 47.93m lifetime . Microsoft shipped 6.3m X360s for the quarter, bringing the X360 base to 50.8m units lifetime. Lifetime to date software figures are 695m games for Wii, 817m for DS, 408m for PS3, 287m for PSP, and 1527m for PS2. Microsoft doesn't provide software shipments for X360, but they're likely about 10-20% higher than PS3 through December, depending on whether Microsoft counts currently bundled software Kinect Adventures and past bundles like the Pure package."
