Sales - Others Numbers up! - View Post

The Wii's marketshare has to go up for once. I want my "Wii has reached 47.2 %" thread.

Stop being so impatient. Japan and US should put it up to or close to 47.2%

 

 

Maybe.  But as the total numbers sold increase, the margin the Wii needs to outsell the others by increases as well.  For example, we are currently at about 68 million for the 3 consoles combined.  To go up by .1%, Wii needs to outsell the rest by 680k.  So if they sell 1 million and 360+PS3 equals 320k.  But then that's another 1.3 million units.  So then .1% is 693k instead of 680k.

And so on.  So as the numbers get bigger the rate of increase in market share will get slower, even if they all sell at the same exact pace each week.

 

Math is fun.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
