XB360 and Kinect domination in America is just insane. Wii is doing well overall, but Wii Fit Plus has been kicked out of American Top 10 again. Nice second week for LBP2. Americans don't really hate GT5, but Sony could try harder to make them love it more. Move shows not big but decent legs in the short-mid term, and does it without heavy bundling. Kinect is just unstoppable and Malstrom -POOF!- disappeared. 
Edit: P.S. I was nearly forgetting, nice WW totals adjustments!

Why do you think Kinect will have good legs? It's sales are dropping and frankly I don't see it last more then 6 months before dropping off almost completely
|
Everything drops after Xmas. Kinect is dropping less steeply than many other things, and less than average, although its strength is very unbalanced towards USA and UK.
|
It drops every week, and frankly I don't see it going up ever
|
Ever? If it drops as precipitously as you proclaim, it will reach almost no sales within a few months. It would only take a price cut or a good game for the numbers to go up from nearly nothing to double/triple in one week. This would essentially make you point mute.
Besides that, the Kinect has connected with the lemmings already. They will continue to go buy it as long as M$ continues to spend the marketing dollars to convince the overall market to do so. With the Kinect install base being so large already, there will be a crapload of shovelware hitting stores by July or August. If you sprikle in a few quality titles, the thing will have too much momentum to stop. If you think that this is crazy, just call Iwata up at home and ask him how this works, i think he could vouch for the concept....

I disagree with the connecting to the lemmings, seems to me everyone who actually bought it was a impulse buy and they are having buyers remorse, I also don't think a new game or a price cut will help them that much, maybe a bit but still I stand by it being nearly dead after 6 months on the market

I just don't see how you can believe that something that sold nearly 8 million in sixty days will go down to nothing in another 120 days? The last data had it at 200k for the week ending Jan 22. To do what your saying, it would have to drop 50% every week to be near nothing by the end of April. Let me see, i can think of at least 3-4 extremely hot selling products to do that.... Oh, wait.. I can't.
