| Groucho said: In terms of weekly sales in the Americas, the trend is a definate negative one, not positive. The Wii was positioned to have much more than the 40% marketshare its currently destined for in America, just a couple months back. |
I wouldn't be so quick to call the Wii on a downward trend. Take a look at 2007:

This happens to be the Wii's slowest period (relative to the 360, at least - between Halo & price cuts). It'll get tighter as we approach the holidays. Besides, it still has supply issues.
