wow Wiifit outsold the Wii, otherwise impressive month for nintendo.

you would expect the increase and decrease for 360 and PS3 to be opposite due to year 4 360 (supposed to start declining) and year 3 for PS3 (supposed to be strongest year). at least historically that is how it has gone

 

It also depends on the timing of price cuts.  When one product is $199 for the cheapest model and only ~5 months from a price cut, while the other is sitting at $399 and hasn't had a price cut in a year and a half, there are going to be differences in sales.

 

That sounds exactly like the situation last summer.  When Christmas finally rolls around this year it is going to be one interesting fight.
