How so? The PS3 was selling the least out of the platforms, and therefore had the largest drops. How is my math incorrect? |
hmm, Dmeister is right, but I am not sure it is for the same reasons...
The PS3 due to its high price was not a big holiday item comparitively, therefore it saw less of a holiday boost % wise and definitly numbers wise. Assuming that it goes back to preholiday levels and not lower, it number wise drop and % wise drops will be less severe.
A good example last gen was the Xbox Gamecube Paradigm. The Xbox would crush the cube all year, but then the cube would see a massive holiday boost and the xbox a modest one, but when the holidays were over the cube would crash and the xbox would settle back in. Right now, the 360 being the cheapest console is getting "gamecube" treatment. Meaning all the people who just want pay the least go out and get it for cmas.

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
