Looking at past numbers can and does serve as a good predictor of future results.
Yes if the market is as stable as DS vs. PSP which are in the second half of their life-cycle.
That's not the case for the home consoles. Wii and PS3 are 18months old. The PS3 still costs 400$ and christmas will be around soon. Last September the 360 outsold the PS3, the Ps3 had nothing to play and did cost 600$. A couple games a new SKU and a price cut later and the PS3 outsold the 360 during christmas. Predicting the future by past results would have been as stupid then as now.
