If I read the table, it looks like Wii sold 300k from Jan to June 09, same for PS3 while 360 sold 600k. Is that correct?



Elaine: I will never understand people

Jerry: They're the worst.

^ Wow, pretty big slowdown for Wii. Selling on par with PS3 and getting doubled by 360. I didn't get that impression from the SW data (top 40) we get each week.

Jerry: They're the worst.

Oh oh is Wii doomed.

Well huge decline for Wii and DS, maybe because of lack of games? Xbox360 did great and PS3 did ok considering 0% decline even with same price as of last year. PSP is doing terrible in UK.

Am I misreading something or did the Xbox360 outsell the Wii 2:1 Feb - Jun 09?! This can't be true, right?

And VGC tracks the Xbox360 @ 3.5 million // GFK @ 3.9 million (about 300k undertracked?!)
PS3 VGC = 2.1 million // GFK = 2.2 (pretty much on spot)
Wii VGC = 5.6 million // GFK = 5.4 million (on spot or slightly overtracked)

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

So PS3 undertracked by 100k is pretty much spot on? lol

Sold to retail / sold to customer

You might have noticed that the difference between 3.5 and 3.9 million is not 300k as well (xbox360)
