On second thought: The 360 numbers are actually pretty good. Not "OMG AWEZOME", but very consistant. The 360, like the Wii suffered from the less week in Febuary.
Wii sold 435k units according to NPD last month. This month, it sold 335, 77% of it's last month total (or 3% down from last month minus the lost time).
The 360 sold 296k last month (give or take), and sold 228k this month. That's 77% of last month, or 3%, exactly like the Wii.
Therefore the 360 and Wii sold at exactly the same amount this month, give or take 1/2 a precent. Which is pretty good. We should see the 360 up next month, and maybe the Wii hold near-steady.
PS3 is on another level.......Horrid.....
You can't say "these people will eventually pick up a PS3 that got a PS2". No. The PS2 is doing so well because there is no cheap console solution. They might want a PS3, but they are buying Wiis, PS2s and 360s instead. Theres no way saying they'll buy the PS3 when it might not exist in 3-4 years when the price is decent (think Dreamcast)
You forgot to factor in the constraints in supply for the Wii. The 360, not so much.
