American Numbers up

Its critical to note that the Wii is losing ground, with regards to marketshare, given these numbers. If this trend continues over the Holidays (i.e. the price cut has a long duration effect, or MS has another trick up their sleeves on Sept. 25), the Wii may very well begin to slide away from the 50% marketshare it has longed for for so long.

But this is just not true, at least according to this site. The Wii is now at 47.1%, and before last week it was at 47%. This seems to me like the Wii is gaining marketshare, not losing.

 

 

Exactly.  Groucho started to use Americas numbers but then switched to worldwide which made him wrong (and confused or misleading).

Anyway, sales for Wii in Americas should go up because the units are being produced.  They are just need being placed in the stores for sale at the rate they are being produced and so the Wii is still sold out in the US.  The units are going to have to be placed for sale in stores at some point.
