Let's compare the first two weeks of December 2007 to January 2008 in order to form a baseline expectation for January 2009:

As you can see, January sales are not that different from the first two weeks of December. Here are the first two weeks of December 2008, which should provide a rough idea of January 2009 sales:

Wii supply will probably not be big enough to get these sales. As for PS3 and 360, I don't know what to say. It would be interesting if the gap was that big in January
Do you think these are reasonable predictions of January sales?
