What happened in the holidays last year is that Nintendo ran out of supply and the others had really good Christmas supply. Then in the following weeks (January) Nintendo and no supply and an empty supply chain from air-freighting Wiis for the holidays. This year things should be somewhat better, but the 360 is clearly a monster. |
Well, since the X360 is 'clearly a monster' we can't say for certain what variables will be involved this Christmas. Although I don't expect the marketshare of the Wii to drop 0.9% this year (for some of the reasons you mentioned), the fact is: It's been a pretty crazy 4th quarter already, so we can't say with certainty what will happen, until everything is tabulated.
But again, it'd look like the Wii will maintain a 53-54% marketshare in 2008 - up from that 51% in 2007.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
