Die "Großen Drei" lassen es sich nicht nehmen, die Hardware-Zahlen des Monats Februar aus den USA zu kommentieren.
Bei den Zahlen ist vor allem der Erfolg der Xbox 360 im US-Markt auffällig. Wie Microsoft dies kommentiert und was Sony und Nintendo zu ihrem Abschneiden im Februar sagen, lest ihr im Folgenden.
So gab Sony dieses Statement bekannt:
After months of anticipation, the U.S. launch of PlayStation Vita saw overwhelming enthusiasm amongst gamers, resulting in exceptional hardware, software and peripheral sales. As reported last week, more than 1.2M PS Vita units have been sold globally since launch. Customer satisfaction rates are very high and momentum will continue as gamers get their hands on a deep lineup of blockbuster titles that take advantage of PS Vita’s unique features, including cross-platform play with the PlayStation 3.
Microsoft sagte zu ihren Verkaufszahlen:
Xbox 360 continues to hold the number one spot in the U.S., selling more units than any other console for 14 months straight. Sustained consumer demand for Xbox 360 and Kinect have helped maintain its number one spot, even in the seventh year on the market.
Nintendo äußerte sich ebenfalls:
Wii continues its record-breaking run by surpassing 39 million units in its 64th month, a pace that is unmatched by any other system in U.S. history. Titles like Super Mario Galaxy help explain why Wii continues to resonate with consumers. The fact that one of the best-reviewed games of all time is available for a suggested retail price of $19.99 speaks to Nintendo’s combination of quality, family fun and value that is unmatched in our industry.
