      Interesting that despite that they've posted a strong loss this year though.

        Despite their market presence Sony never seems to be able to properly manage its other divisions

          01. Final Fantasy Type-0 (PSP, Square Enix)
          02. Kirby Wii (Wii, Nintendo)
          03. Idolmaster 2 (PS3, Namco Bandai)
          04. Just Dance Wii (Wii, Nintendo)
          05. Go Vacation (Wii, Namco Bandai)
          06. Disgaea 4 Fuka & Desco-hen Hajimema****a (PS3, Nippon Ichi)
          07. Ro-Kyu-Bu (PSP, Kadokawa Games)
          08. Macross F Sayonara No Tsubasa Hybrid Pack (PS3, Namco Bandai)
          09. Terror Of The Stratus (PSP, Konami)
          10. Ragnarok Hikari To Yami No (PSP, GungHo)

          A few new entries there with Final Fantasy Type-O racking up 472,253 units. Kirby's done alright too and one of those Idolmaster 2's is mine!

          Despite the arrival of FFT-O it shows that the PSP's era is over with the Vita on the way as sales of 3DS were barely dented and PSP sales barely rose.

          3DS: 65,041 (73,933)
          PSP: 30,605 (22,095)
          PS3: 25,217 (23,897)
          Wii: 11,784 (11,235)
          DSi LL: 2,009 (2,005)
          X360: 1,704 (1,620)
          PS2: 1,228 (1,296)
          DSi: 1,061 (1,293)
          DS Lite: 55 (36)

                Interestingly Microsoft has just confirmed that worldwide sales of the Xbox 360 now stand around 57 million units meaning the gap between the system and the PS3 is less than previously reported and now only 1 million. It's possible the market position swap will take place before Easter.

                  Skylanders might go a little higher this month, but it's likely to creep higher in December. It's going to sell well all the way into Christmas, whereas the bigger 'core' releases will tail off through December.

                  I think there's a decent chance of it getting Christmas number 1 actually, if they time a nice marketing shove at the right moment.

                    Early hopes for a 3DS revival near Xmas seem to be holding true as all systems held steady apart from the previously troubled handheld which after the release of Mario 3D Land saw sales leap upwards.

                    1.3DS - 145,271
                    2.PSP - 27,952
                    3.PS3 - 26,966

                    Monster Hunter and Mario Kart 7 are still to hit so they should be able to maintain the momentum.

                    Software wise:

                    01 Super Mario 3D Land 3DS Nintendo 343,492 --
                    02 Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception PS3 Sony 124,989 --

                    10 Go Vacation Wii Bandai Namco 16,995 89,463

                    Uncharted and Mario done good

                      Call of Duty's success is huge considering the US figures outstrip some of the series worldwide sales totals
