Eh, that's not exactly true in the least. In order to not lose marketshare, each system has to sell the same amount each week as they have in marketshare.
Currently, since the 360 is at 30%, then yes, the 360 has to have 30% of the sales. Before, it was 33.3% they needed. The Wii has to have at least 47.7% of the sales each week in order to keep their marketshare from dropping.
That's third-grade math logic, and entirely obvious.
The point, though, is that the PS3 has managed to stay almost precisely at 22.2% for the past umpteen months (since whenever it was that it got to 22.2%), while the change that we have seen has been a direct loss of marketshare completely from the 360 to the Wii. This sort of thing is a strange coincidence, and I found it interesting.
Also, I tried finding this "thread like this" and none was to be found. Help me out, eh?
